Robots and Pencils is a integral AI-first technology company with employees and
contractors across Canada, United States, Colombia, and Ukraine. We run payroll
and benefits across two ADP environments, multiple benefits platforms, and a set
of manual processes that connect them — because the integrated
system we're building toward isn't fully there yet. This role is for someone who
wants to understand how everything works deeply, own it end-to-end, and be part
of building the automated, integrated environment that makes this function
scalable. If you want to join a function where the work is already solved,
this isn't it. If you want to be the person who helps solve it — read on.
Why This Role
What you'll build toward
We're moving toward a fully integrated payroll and HRIS environment. The person
in this role will help design and test the workflows that make that possible —
and when integration arrives, your deep knowledge of the manual process is what
makes you the expert on whether it's working.
What you'll learn right now
You'll touch every system — ADP Canada, ADP US,
Employee Navigator, Empower,
Canada Life, BambooHR/Rippling, Harvest, and more. Understanding how data flows
between them manually means you'll instinctively know what to automate first and
why.
The honest environment
This is a manual-intensive role today. Data flows between systems are largely
handled by hand — which means you'll develop an unusually deep understanding of
where the work actually lives and what breaks when something goes wrong. When
integration arrives, you'll be the person who knows the process better than
anyone — and that's a career-defining position to be in.
What You'll Own
This is an ownership role, not a support role. You will be responsible
for end-to-end execution across the following areas — and for flagging
proactively when something isn't working so we can fix it together.
North American & Colombia Payroll
You will own payroll across three jurisdictions — Canad
