Digital Benefits Platform Engineer
- Austin Benefits Group
- Bloomfield Hills, Michigan
Job Description
Where technology meets benefits — and the client experience gets better because of it.
Who We Are
Austin Benefits Group is a forward-thinking employee benefits firm that serves private and publicly traded companies with responsive, tech-enabled solutions. We’re investing heavily in digital infrastructure — and the Digital Benefits Platform Engineer sits at the center of that evolution.
If you’ve got benefits administration experience and a passion for optimizing systems, building integrations, and making technology work harder for clients — we built this role for you.
The Opportunity
You’ll own the digital layer of our client benefit experience: configuring and maintaining benefit websites, building payroll and carrier API integrations, and creating communications that help employees actually understand and appreciate their benefits. This is a technical, client-facing role with broad ownership and real visibility.
What You’ll Do
- Configure and maintain client benefit websites — benefit plan details, costs, documents, notifications, and videos
- Build and manage payroll integrations with platforms like Paylocity, ADP, and Paycor
- Establish and maintain carrier API integrations, updating configurations at each client renewal
- Develop and update the Austin internal system for each client through their renewal cycle
- Create modern, clear employee communications that simplify onboarding and offboarding
- Prepare paper enrollment documentation for clients not yet on online platforms
- Conduct system audits to verify calculations match carrier contract provisions and resolve discrepancies
- Oversee changes and updates within client online enrollment platforms, identifying challenges proactively
- Follow and maintain the Austin Navigator renewal process for all applicable clients
- Collaborate with Client Experience and Analytics teams and maintain strong vendor relationships
What You Bring
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite including Word, Excel, Publisher, and PowerPoint
- Strong analytical skills — you spot discrepancies before they become problems
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills for both technical and non-technical audiences
- Bachelor’s degree preferred; 2+ years in a benefits admin role accepted in lieu of degree
