The minute you join, you'll feel it. Not just in the products we build, but in how we show up for each other. Our culture is rooted in integrity, empathy, and shared enthusiasm. We're in this together, tackling big challenges with bold ideas and genuine care. We look for curious minds and courageous collaborators who bring sun-drenched optimism and drive. Whether you're building smarter solutions, supporting customers, or creating a space where everyone belongs, you'll do meaningful work with Workmates who've got your back. In return, we'll give you the trust to take risks, the tools to grow, the skills to develop and the support of a company invested in you for the long haul. So, if you want to inspire a brighter work day for everyone, including yourself, you've found a match in Workday, and we hope to be a match for you too.
About the Team
Your work matters here. At Workday Government, we focus on outcomes that serve a larger mission. Our work supports U.S. federal agencies as they modernize and transform the full employee lifecycle experience and finance operations-so they can operate with greater clarity, accountability, and trust. As a Fortune 500 company and a proven enterprise cloud platform, Workday brings modern technology, responsible AI, and secure infrastructure to some of the most complex environments in the world. The work isn't theoretical. It's operational. It's high-impact. And it demands rigor, integrity, and long-term thinking.
The Developer Portal team builds the UI for the Workday Build Platform, empowering our developer community to extend the value of Workday. Our work directly supports the growth of the platform - and the growth of Workday itself - as many features that require a UI come through our team. We are evolving into a platform enablement team, transitioning to support multiple micro-frontends, which means the technical challenges ahead are both meaningful and exciting.
If you're looking to apply your experience to meaningful, mission-driven work-alongside colleagues who take pride in building things that last-you'll find that opportunity at Workday
About the Role
This role will support one or more direct or indirect contracts with the U.S. Federal Government which, due to federal government security requirements, mandates that all Workday personnel working on the contracts be United States citizens (naturalized or native).
As a Developer Platform Engineer on the Developer Portal team, you will be responsible for new and existing features, along with the scalability and performance of the Workday developer platform and tools. You will partner closely with peers, product owners, and designers to plan, build, test, and deliver high-quality software that helps our developer community thrive.
Responsibilities:
Collaborate with peers, product owners, and designers
Write clear, efficient, and scalable code with a focus on maintainability of which a majority is using the React library
Participate in design and code reviews, contributing to the overall quality and consistency of the codebase
Discover and troubleshoot issues within the existing architecture and codebase, identifying opportunities for improvement
Polish, improve, and innovate on the existing codebase to keep it healthy and forward-looking
Support release planning by evaluating the effort, risk, and priority of planned features in an agile environment
Own and contribute to team productivity and process improvements
This role will support one or more direct or indirect contracts with the U.S. Federal Government which, due to federal government security requirements, mandates that all Workday personnel working on the contracts be United States citizens (naturalized or native).
About You
This role may require a security clearance at the TS/SCI w/CI Poly level. Applicants must have the ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government issued security clearance. An active TS/SCI w/CI Poly is preferred.
You have:

Experience with modern frontend frameworks such as React and related technologies
Hands-on experience with cloud development technologies and platforms (AWS, Kubernetes, Helm) is a plus
Familiarity with micro-frontend architecture or build tooling (Webpack 5) is a plus
Experience with design systems or component libraries (such as Workday Canvas Kit or similar) is a plus
Comfort navigating a large, mature codebase with multiple architectural layers and making consistent decisions across them
You are a service owner who loves to code
Basic Qualifications:
4 years of experience developing and maintaining modern web applications
4 years of proficiency in TypeScript/JavaScript, React, HTML, and CSS
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
Other Qualifications
Preferred DoD 8570/8140 compliant with at least IAT Level II certification, including a current Computing Environment (CE) credential and one approved specialty certification (e.g., CompTIA CySA+, GICSP, CASP+)
Software Development: A demonstrable record of taking design ideas to working software. You write clear, well-structured code across the full development lifecycle - from designing and programming to testing and maintaining applications - and understand how to build software that scales with a growing platform.
Code Testing: Proficient in testing methodologies such as unit testing and integration testing, with hands-on experience using frameworks like Jest, React Testing Library, and Cypress. You understand the importance of testing complex, async, and multi-tenant UI and are comfortable writing tests that are reliable and free of race conditions.
Design Patterns: Knowledge of common design patterns and when to use them. You apply principles such as encapsulation, inheritance, and abstraction to create flexible, reusable software components that improve code maintainability and support effective team collaboration.
Observability & Operations: Experience with application observability practices, including error tracking tools (such as Sentry) for both client and server environments, metrics instrumentation (such as Prometheus-style libraries), and product analytics platforms (such as Mixpanel or equivalent) with an awareness of PII considerations. Familiarity with CI/CD pipeline ownership, including GitHub Actions, self-hosted runners, cloud-based deploy workflows (S3/CloudFront), and sourcemap management.
Team Collaboration: You work cooperatively with engineers, product owners, and designers toward shared goals. You are comfortable working with product managers to clarify and refine requirements, participating in design discussions and code reviews, and contributing to a positive team environment.
Source Control Management: Proficient with source control tools and workflows, including branching strategies, code merges, and continuous delivery pipelines. You help maintain the integrity of the codebase and enable productive collaboration across the team.
Technical Writing Documentation: You value documentation as a deliverable and can create clear, concise technical documents that help the team and broader organization understand systems, processes, and decisions.
Nice to haves:
Experience with enterprise multi-tenant SaaS platforms and role/permission-based access patterns
Internationalization (`i18n`) at scale - string extraction, compile-time pipelines, runtime locale switching
ReactFlow or similar graph/diagram UI libraries
AI/LLM integration experience (the codebase includes a Copilot/Dev Agent module using Flowise)
Storybook component development and documentation
Knowledge of OpenAPI/Swagger spec parsing and API explorer tooling
Experience with OpenSearch index design for content discovery/search

Our Approach to Flexible Work
With Flex Work, we're combining the best of both worlds: in-person time and remote. Our approach enables our teams to deepen connections, maintain a strong community, and do their best work. We know that flexibility can take shape in many ways, so rather than a number of required days in-office each week, we simply spend at least half (50%) of our time each quarter in the office or in the field with our customers, prospects, and partners (depending on role). This means you'll have the freedom to create a flexible schedule that caters to your business, team, and personal needs, while being intentional to make the most of time spent together. Those in our remote "home office" roles also have the opportunity to come together in our offices for important moments that matter.
Pursuant to applicable Fair Chance law, Workday will consider for employment qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records.
Workday is an Equal Opportunity Employer including individuals with disabilities and protected veterans.
At Workday, we are committed to providing an accessible and inclusive hiring experience where all candidates can fully demonstrate their skills. If you require assistance or an accommodation at any point, please email View email address on jobs2careers.com .
Are you being referred to one of our roles? If so, ask your connection at Workday about our Employee Referral process!
At Workday, we value our candidates' privacy and data security. Workday will never ask candidates to apply to jobs through websites that are not Workday Careers.
Please be aware of sites that may ask for you to input your data in connection with a job posting that appears to be from Workday but is not.
In addition, Workday will never ask candidates to pay a recruiting fee, or pay for consulting or coaching services, in order to apply for a job at Workday.
