Workday Integration Developer

Job Summary

We are looking for a Workday Integration Developer to design, develop, and maintain integrations between Workday and the broader enterprise application landscape. The role focuses on hands-on integration delivery using EIB, Workday Studio, Core Connectors, Cloud Connect, and Workday APIs, with strong attention to reliability, security, and data quality.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop Workday integrations using EIB, Workday Studio, Core Connectors, and Cloud Connect.
• Build inbound and outbound integrations connecting Workday with payroll, benefits, IT provisioning, finance, and analytics systems.
• Develop XSLT transformations within Workday Studio integrations, applying disciplined templating practices, reusable helper libraries, and careful test coverage to keep complex mappings maintainable.
• Implement integrations using Workday REST and SOAP web services where appropriate.
• Design error handling, retry, and notification strategies that ensure reliable integration operations.
• Build and maintain integration system users, ISSGs, security configurations, and tenant-level setup for integrations.
• Develop and maintain calculated fields, custom reports, and report-as-a-service integrations.
• Implement Workday business processes and condition rules that support integration logic, ensuring the upstream and downstream sides of each integration agree on routing, approvals, and state transitions.
• Participate actively in Workday tenant refresh planning and integration regression testing, ensuring critical integration paths are exercised in lower environments before each tenant move and any drift is caught early.
• Collaborate with HR, payroll, IT, and finance stakeholders to translate business needs into integration designs.
• Maintain comprehensive, current technical documentation — including architecture diagrams, design decisions, configuration references, runbooks, and operational procedures — so that the system remains supportable, auditable, and easy to onboard new engineers onto over time.
• Support production incidents related to integrations and drive durable fixes.
• Participate in Workday release planning and regression testing, reviewing upcoming feature changes for impact, scheduling validation cycles, and coordinating with stakeholders so adoption proceeds smoothly.
• Stay current with Workday product releases and integration platform evolution.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field.
• Five or more years of Workday integration development experience.
• Deep expertise in EIB, Workday Studio, and Core Connectors.
• Strong XSLT skills and experience with Workday Studio orchestrations.
• Hands-on experience with Workday REST/SOAP APIs.
• Strong understanding of the Workday data model and tenant configuration.
• Familiarity with calculated fields and custom report design.
• Strong troubleshooting and analytical skills.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Workday Pro Integrations certification.
• Experience with PICOF, PECI, or Cloud Connect for Payroll.
• Familiarity with Workday Extend.
• Experience integrating Workday with major SaaS platforms (ServiceNow, Salesforce).
