- Hands-on experience building and maintaining API integrations, event-driven workflows, or data pipelines
- Deep working knowledge of ADP (Lyric strongly preferred; Workforce Now considered) — including configuration, reporting, workflows, and data integration
- Experience with identity and directory systems (OKTA or similar) in the context of HR-IT data flows
- Strong data fluency — able to design schemas, trace data lineage, validate integrity across systems, and build reliable audit processes
- Experience handling sensitive HR data, PII, and related security and compliance requirements
- Ability to work autonomously on complex, multi-system problems and communicate findings clearly to non-technical stakeholders
Preferred:
- Experience with bidirectional data syncs with HRIS
- Familiarity with Snowflake or cloud data warehouse environments
- Experience with leave management and workforce management systems and payroll data flows
- Background deploying AI-assisted workflows — classification, flagging, intelligent notifications, or LLM-based process automation

- Experience in a high-growth or scaling company environment
