Aquent is seeking a skilled and proactive Engineer for an opportunity supporting a major global enterprise client. This role is onsite Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at our client’s office in downtown Detroit.
In this role, you will play a central part in an internal technology modernization initiative—specifically driving a high-volume migration of internal HR/People Operations applications from Microsoft-based tools to Google Workspace solutions. You will be responsible for hands-on development, transforming legacy workflows into scalable, secure, and user-friendly digital experiences.
This is an ideal role for a developer who excels across both the Microsoft Power and Google Workspace ecosystems and thrives when given end-to-end ownership of development projects; however, the primary focus will be on Google as the client is migrating over from MSFT next year.
Key Responsibilities
Application Modernization & Development: Rebuild, transform, and modernize internal business applications and automated workflows from Microsoft Power Apps/Power Automate into Google Workspace solutions using Google AppSheet and Google Apps Script.
Full Lifecycle Delivery: Lead requirements gathering, design, hands-on coding, end-to-end testing, validation, deployment, and hypercare support for assigned application projects.
Stakeholder Collaboration: Partner directly with global HR, People Operations, and business process owners to translate functional requirements into scalable technical solutions.
Project Ownership: Manage intake and prioritization independently, serving as the lead developer for assigned workflows while collaborating closely with a dedicated internal tech team.
Continuous Improvement: Document technical architecture, workflows, and user processes; identify opportunities to streamline employee digital journeys.
Required Qualifications
Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or a related technical field.
Experience: 1–5 years of professional, hands-on application development experience in an enterprise or team-based setting (not open to new graduates without prior industry experience).
Core Technical Expertise (Must-Haves):
Strong hands-on experience building custom business apps in Microsoft Power Apps.
Demonstrated proficiency in Google Workspace Apps Script for automation and custom integrations.
Practical experience designing and deploying apps using Google AppSheet.
Communication & Collaboration: Proven ability to communicate effectively with non-technical stakeholders, gather and clarify business requirements, and work in an agile, collaborative environment.
Preferred / Nice-to-Have Skills
Hands-on experience with Microsoft Power Automate or SharePoint administration/workflows.
Experience with Jira, GitHub, or modern version control/issue-tracking systems.
Familiarity with Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) or modern CMS platforms.
Exposure to or interest in integrating modern AI-assisted productivity and automation tools.
