PeopleSoft PeopleTools Developer

Job Summary

We are seeking an experienced PeopleSoft PeopleTools Engineer responsible for the architecture, installation, configuration, upgrade, and ongoing technical operation of enterprise PeopleSoft environments.

The ideal candidate will combine deep PeopleTools and PeopleSoft administration experience with strong fundamentals in Oracle database, Linux/Unix, and modern DevOps practices. In this role you will work closely with cross-functional partners — product, design, engineering, operations, and business stakeholders — to translate ambiguous requirements into well-engineered solutions, and will be expected to raise the bar through code review, design review, and mentorship of more junior engineers.

The successful candidate brings strong engineering discipline, a clear communication style, and a track record of shipping meaningful work that holds up well in production.

Key Responsibilities

• Install, configure, and operate PeopleSoft environments across development, test, training, and production
• Lead PeopleTools upgrades, PeopleSoft Update Manager (PUM) image applications, and patch deployments
• Manage application servers, process schedulers, web servers (WebLogic), and the integration broker gateway
• Administer Elasticsearch / OpenSearch (or Verity legacy) deployments supporting PeopleSoft search
• Perform PeopleSoft system copies, refreshes, and clones across environments, applying disciplined engineering practices and partnering closely with stakeholders to ensure outcomes are durable, well-documented, and aligned with broader team and platform standards
• Implement and tune database connectivity, including Oracle Database administration tasks in partnership with DBA teams
• Configure PeopleSoft security at the application, web, and infrastructure layers
• Operate PeopleSoft Cloud Manager or equivalent automation tooling where applicable
• Design and operate HA/DR strategies for PeopleSoft environments, applying disciplined engineering practices and partnering closely with stakeholders to ensure outcomes are durable, well-documented, and aligned with broader team and platform standards
• Develop automation tooling using shell, Python, or Ansible to reduce operational toil
• Maintain comprehensive, current technical documentation — including architecture diagrams, design decisions, configuration references, runbooks, and operational procedures — so that the system remains supportable, auditable, and easy to onboard new engineers onto over time
• Mentor and coach junior and mid-level engineers through code review, design review, pair programming, and structured knowledge sharing, helping the broader team grow in technical maturity and confidence over time

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical discipline

• Hands-on experience with PeopleTools upgrades and PeopleSoft Update Manager (PUM)
• Strong experience with WebLogic, Tuxedo, and PeopleSoft application/process scheduler servers
• Working knowledge of Oracle Database administration
• Strong Linux/Unix skills and shell scripting experience
• Familiarity with PeopleSoft Cloud Manager or equivalent automation tooling
• Experience operating HA/DR for PeopleSoft
• Strong troubleshooting, communication, and documentation skills
