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. From day one, you'll be part of a team that values collaboration, follow-through, and doing the right thing-especially when the stakes are high. Our culture is grounded in integrity, respect, and shared responsibility. We challenge each other to think clearly, act thoughtfully, and build solutions that stand up to real-world demands. Here, curiosity is matched with accountability. Ambition is paired with trust. You'll have the space to do your best work, the support to keep growing, and the backing of a company committed to long-term investment in both its people and the federal mission. 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 Government. 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). Employees may be required to be on site at client locations in the DC, MD, and VA (DMV) area Workday is expanding into the US Government air-gapped classified cloud environment. We are looking for a cloud engineer who has a focus on managing entitlements and permissions in a cloud services environment (AWS, Azure/EntraID or GCP). You will be one of our IAM engineers working to automate identity administration, authentication and authorization to resources in the air-gapped network. The candidate should understand infrastructure and compliance as code, using CI/CD pipelines. Familiarity with standard federation protocols used in IAM including OAUTH, OIDC, SAML and SCIM is essential. The ideal candidate will work with other teams in cloud engineering and the broader Cybersecurity organization in Workday Government as we work to build our new organization at Workday, focused on the unique requirements of the DoD and Intel agencies of the US Government. 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).
