Solutions Architect (Global Timekeeping)

Description

Under limited guidance, work at the business unit level developing the end-to-end solution architecture for significant initiatives in partnership with key business and IT stakeholders.

Essential Functions

• Partner with business and IT stakeholders to shape end-to-end solution architecture for our Enterprise Timekeeping and HCM applications, including UKG/Kronos platforms
• Explore and document current-state architecture across interconnected systems, helping the team identify thoughtful paths toward future-state designs
• Dive into existing codebases to build a clear understanding of how systems work — tracing data flows, recognizing patterns, and surfacing key architectural decisions
• Use AI coding assistants (e.g., GitHub Copilot) as a natural part of your daily workflow — to make sense of unfamiliar code, draft documentation, and move implementation forward more efficiently
• Help ensure AI-assisted outputs are validated against enterprise needs including security, compliance, and performance
• Support migration planning and provide technical guidance across active transformation initiatives
• Mentor and support colleagues in less senior positions
• Perform other duties as assigned

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

• Experience with UKG and Kronos systems, and solution architecture across enterprise applications — ideally in HCM, payroll, or timekeeping, though adjacent domains are welcome
• Comfortable using AI coding assistants (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or similar) as part of your everyday workflow for learning, building, and documenting
• Willingness to be hands-on with code — this role goes beyond diagrams and planning
• Strong communicator who can connect with business stakeholders, vendor teams, and developers
• General knowledge of hardware, software, and network architecture
• Collaborative mindset and strong interpersonal skills
