Sr Software Development Engineer - Core Platform Integration

About the role

The Core Platform Integration Team is a new centralized team within Workday’s Core Services organization. Our charter is to bring acquired companies onto CP2, Workday's cloud-agnostic "paved road" platform, so that 100% of services can run on any CSP. This involves migrating workloads off CSP lock-in services and onto standardized CP2 building blocks for compute, networking, observability, CI/CD, and security.

• Inventory services, dependencies, and CSP-specific footprint (managed databases, IAM, networking, queues, secrets, observability stack, etc.)
• Design migration approach and write code, IaC, and automation
• Partner with engineering leads at 2–3 acquired companies
• Identify gaps in CP2 paved road and feed feature requests back to IPE platform teams
• Establish repeatable migration patterns (a "playbook")
• Collaborate with teams across multiple locations and time zones

Qualifications

• 7+ years of software/infrastructure engineering experience, with at least 3 years operating production workloads on AWS and/or GCP
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related discipline, or equivalent practical experience
• Strong, current Kubernetes experience (EKS, GKE, or equivalent)
• Production proficiency in Terraform (Terragrunt a plus)
• Practical experience with at least one managed cloud database (Aurora, Cloud SQL, Spanner, RDS) including migration or replication
• Strong collaborator, clear communicator, pragmatic about "paved road" tradeoffs

Additional Preferred Skills

• Multi-Cloud experience with GCP and AWS
• Familiarity with secrets management, IAM least-privilege design, and basic security hygiene (vulnerability scanning, image signing, mTLS)
• Experience with security auditing and compliance frameworks
