Workday Integration Developer

Job Summary

We are looking for a Workday Integration Engineer to design, develop, and maintain integrations between Workday and the broader enterprise application landscape. The role focuses on hands-on integration delivery using EIB, Studio, Core Connectors, Cloud Connect, and Workday APIs, with strong attention to reliability, security, and data quality. The ideal candidate has shipped meaningful Workday integrations in production, navigates Workday’s tenant model and security framework with confidence, and writes well-structured Studio integrations that are easy to maintain. In this role you will work closely with cross-functional partners — product, design, engineering, operations, and business stakeholders — to translate ambiguous requirements into well-engineered solutions, and will be expected to raise the bar through code review, design review, and mentorship of more junior engineers.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop Workday integrations using EIB, Workday Studio, Core Connectors, Cloud Connect, and PECI.
• 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.
• Develop and maintain integration system users, ISSGs, security configurations, and tenant-level setup for integrations.
• Build 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.

Requirements

• 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.
• Experience with Workday security model including ISU/ISSG patterns.
• Familiarity with calculated fields and custom report design.
• Strong troubleshooting and analytical skills.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Workday Pro Integrations certification.
• Experience with PICOF, PECI, or Cloud Connect for Payroll.
• Familiarity with Workday Extend.
• Exposure to multi-tenant or multi-region Workday deployments.
• Experience integrating Workday with major SaaS platforms (ServiceNow, Salesforce).
