About Team:
As part of Target's Workforce Management portfolio, this team delivers enterprise-scale solutions that power timekeeping, forecasting, and scheduling for more than 400,000 hourly team members. The Senior Engineering Manager will lead product teams focused on implementing and extending UKG (Ultimate Kronos Group) Workforce Management capabilities, including forecasting, scheduling, and core timekeeping.
In parallel, the team builds strategic extensions beyond the UKG platform to meet Target's scale and experience needs. This includes internally developed solutions such as SmartClocks, a custom, open-source-based time capture platform designed for high-volume, real-time store operations. The team combines UKG capabilities with custom engineering, including Java and Spring Boot services, to enable seamless integrations, enhance user experiences, and deliver differentiated capabilities. This leader will help shape architectural direction, ensure interoperability across systems such as Workday, and contribute to a modern, decoupled workforce management ecosystem.
About SEM:
The Sr. Engineering Manager (SEM) leads a team of engineers responsible for building, integrating, and operating Workforce Management solutions that support critical functions such as time capture, labor forecasting, and workforce scheduling. This includes ownership of both UKG platform capabilities and custom-built extensions, such as SmartClocks and supporting services, to deliver a cohesive and scalable end-to-end solution. This role operates in close partnership with other engineering leaders across the Workforce Management domain, collectively delivering integrated, end-to-end solutions at enterprise scale.
This role operates within a broader, ongoing modernization of Target's Workforce Management platform and ecosystem. The SEM is expected to deliver scalable, well-integrated solutions aligned with evolving architectural direction. Success in this role requires balancing UKG platform capabilities with targeted open-source development, exercising strong technical judgment on where to extend versus adopt, and delivering reliably in a complex, highly integrated environment. The SEM partners closely with Product, HR stakeholders, and vendor teams, and represents the team in cross-functional planning and architecture discussions. This role offers a unique opportunity to help shape how workforce technology evolves at enterprise scale.
