Your Role: Sr Workday Integrations Product Engineer
Working closely with Product Management, Product Design, HR technology teams, enterprise architecture, security, and other engineering teams, you will take end-to-end engineering ownership of Workday integrations and the services that connect Workday with our broader enterprise technology landscape. This is a hands-on engineering role with a strong focus on Workday integration development, architecture, automation, reliability, security, observability, and operational excellence.
Your Responsibilities:
Workday Integration Engineering
- Design, develop, test, deploy, and support robust integrations between Workday and enterprise applications.
- Build and maintain integrations using Workday Studio, Enterprise Interface Builder (EIB), Core Connectors, Cloud Connect, Workday Web Services, REST/SOAP APIs, PECI, and WECI.
- Design appropriate integration patterns based on business requirements, data volumes, security requirements, reliability, and maintainability.
- Develop integrations between Workday and downstream/upstream platforms using middleware technologies such as Boomi and cloud services.
- Perform integration analysis, data mapping, transformation, validation, and reconciliation.
Architecture & Engineering Excellence
- Contribute to the evolution of the Workday integration architecture, ensuring solutions are scalable, secure, reusable, and maintainable.
- Identify opportunities to simplify existing integrations and reduce technical debt.
- Establish reusable integration patterns, engineering standards, and development best practices.
- Participate in technical design reviews and contribute to architectural decisions across the HR technology ecosystem.
- Apply strong software engineering principles including version control, peer review, automated testing, CI/CD, and structured release management.
Reliability, Monitoring & Automation
- Build integrations with observability and operational resilience by design.
- Implement proactive monitoring, alerting, logging, reconciliation, and automated recovery mechanisms.
- Develop solutions for intelligent error handling and, where appropriate, automated or self-healing recovery.
- Troubleshoot complex production issues and perform root-cause analysis to prevent recurrence.
- Continuously improve integration reliability, performance, supportability, and operational efficiency.
Security & Data Integrity
- Ensure integrations comply with enterprise security, privacy, and data governance requirements.
- Protect sensitive employee and personal information throughout the integration lifecycle.
- Implement appropriate authentication, authorization, encryption, and secure data-transfer mechanisms.
- Build appropriate controls for data validation, reconciliation, auditability, and integrity.
Product & DevOps Collaboration
- Work as part of an Agile Product Engineering team, partnering closely with Product Managers, Product Designers, HR stakeholders, and other engineering teams.
- Own solutions throughout their lifecycle — from discovery and technical design through development, deployment, production support, and continuous improvement.
- Translate business requirements into scalable technical solutions while challenging requirements where simpler or more sustainable approaches are available.
- Participate in Agile ceremonies, backlog refinement, technical planning, and product roadmap discussions.
- Collaborate across global teams and communicate technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
