About The Position

As a Member of Technical Staff (MTS) on the Information Technology Employee Success team, you will design, develop, and architect next-generation Workday integrations that power payroll, HR, and financial operations for a global workforce of 80,000+ employees. We are looking for a forward-thinking engineer who doesn't just build traditional pipelines, but leverages AI-assisted development to accelerate delivery and uses modern Workday Extend and Orchestration frameworks to bridge our HR ecosystem with complex, global 3rd-party payroll providers.

Requirements

3–5 years of professional software engineering or advanced Workday integration experience.
Hands-on experience with Workday Extend, Orchestrations, GPC, and DDOD.
Deep understanding of integrating Workday with external, 3rd-party payroll systems and a solid grasp of functional payroll concepts across global regions (US, UK, India, EMEA, APAC).
Familiarity with AI-assisted coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot) to optimize development velocity and troubleshoot complex XML/XSLT transformations.
Comfortable in fast-paced Agile/Scrum environments; Scrum Lead experience is a definite plus.
Stellar cross-functional skills—equally comfortable talking architecture with engineers or strategy with global Payroll business partners.

Nice To Haves

Experience building full-stack custom apps natively within the Workday Extend framework.
Familiarity with enterprise middleware like MuleSoft or Boomi.
Knowledge of global compliance frameworks, ESPP, RSUs, and equity platforms (ETRADE, Equity Edge).
Workday Pro Integrations, Workday Extend, or Payroll certifications are highly desirable.

Responsibilities

Design and build high-scale integrations and custom apps using Workday Studio, Workday Extend, Orchestrations, Global Payroll Cloud (GPC), and Digital Document Delivery (DDOD) to support global HCM operations.
Integrate AI fundamentals into your daily workflow—utilizing tools like Claude Code, Cursor, or OpenAI Codex to write cleaner integration logic, automate unit testing, and dramatically speed up code reviews.
Drive engineering efforts for global 3rd-party payroll connectors, ensuring seamless, bi-directional data flow with external vendors like ADP GlobalView, CloudPay, and regional providers.
Lead end-to-end delivery of complex projects—from scoping and development through automated QA, UAT, global cutover, and hypercare support.
Eliminate manual overhead by automating compliance data streams (e.g., India Form 11) and equity integrations (ETRADE RSU records, Dividend automation).
Own production stability—monitor integration health, perform root-cause analysis, and resolve high-priority incidents with modern observability practices.
Execute payroll release readiness using automated tools like Kainos for regression testing across Workday’s continuous release cycles.
