Demand for Backend Developer Lead in HDL

Position Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled Backend Developer specializing in Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM to join our enterprise systems team. In this role, you will be the technical anchor for backend engineering, focusing on automated data migration, bulk loading architectures using HCM Data Loader (HDL), and system-to-system backend integrations. You will design, build, test, and optimize data pipeline mechanics to ensure our global HR, payroll, and benefits data remains perfectly synchronized. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Core Responsibilities

• Data Migration & Bulk Loading: Author, test, and optimize complex, pipe-delimited .dat files for high-volume data ingest via HCM Data Loader (HDL) across core business objects (e.g., Worker.dat, Job.dat, ElementEntry.dat). [1]
• Integration Pipeline Engineering: Design and implement robust backend integrations using Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC), REST APIs, and SOAP web services to sync Oracle HCM with downstream banking, benefits, and third-party vendor applications. [1, 2]
• Server-Side Development: Write efficient PL/SQL packages, SQL queries, Fast Formulas, and BI Publisher/OTBI data models to pull, transform, and validate complex relational tables. [1, 2]
• Automated Data Flows: Construct automated data pipelines utilizing HCM Extracts to orchestrate outbound data packages seamlessly. [1]
• Security & Custom Tooling: Configure custom security roles and object-level permissions within the Data Exchange work area to execute secure REST-driven HDL processes. [1, 2]
• Debugging & Fine-Tuning: Analyze and resolve complex execution errors within HDL staging tables and log files. [1]

Technical Requirements & Qualifications

• Experience: Minimum 3–5 years of dedicated backend software development experience, with at least 2 years heavily concentrated on Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM (Technical).
• Deep HDL Expertise: Proven track record managing bulk loading mechanics, structural business hierarchies, flexfields (DFFs/EFFs), and handling character formatting/multiline summaries within HDL.
• Languages & Scripting: Strong proficiency in PL/SQL, SQL, and backend programming/scripting (e.g., Python, Bash) to manipulate data upstream.
• Integration Ecosystem: In-depth knowledge of Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC), API gateways, REST web services, JSON payload handling, and file transfer protocols (SFTP).
• Architecture Mindset: Understanding of enterprise data design, data staging structures, and continuous performance tuning for large databases. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
