Key Responsibilities

1. Design, develop and customise core modules of the company-built HR platform to satisfy varying business requirements from enterprise clients. Write and maintain production-level application code using common web-development languages and frameworks, build out business workflows and function modules for client-specific HR scenarios. Ensure application modules run stably while paying proper attention to the security of sensitive employee-related data.

Translate business-side requirements into feasible technical solutions, participate in development task planning and give reasonable input on work scope and delivery timelines for customisation projects.

3. Collaborate with other team members to deliver platform upgrades and custom feature iterations following standard team development workflows. Take part in regular team technical discussions to maintain consistent coding standards across development work.

4. Evaluate and integrate suitable third-party APIs and services to extend platform capabilities. Identify opportunities to optimise existing system performance and user experience based on real-world usage of the HR platform.

5. Conduct code reviews within the team, locate and resolve application defects and performance issues during development. Carry out necessary testing work to make sure new features and modifications meet expected quality standards before release.

6. Provide ongoing technical support for the live HR platform serving external clients. Troubleshoot system faults arising in production environments and deploy fixes to reduce business impact for end users.

7. Prepare and update necessary technical documentation covering developed modules, interfaces and deployment processes, to support ongoing system maintenance and subsequent feature iterations.
