Find out exactly what skills, experience, and qualifications you will need to succeed in this role before applying below.

Seeking a Workday engineer to strengthen our HCM platform work. Although this is a contractor position, the expectations mirror a senior engineer: deep hands-on experience, sound technical judgment, and the ability to own work end to end with minimal direction. The ideal person pairs deep Workday hands-on experience with real custom-build chops (Java/Python) and is AI-forward — someone who already uses AI tooling to work faster and looks for ways to automate. This is a hands-on role for someone who ships, works independently, and raises the engineering bar around them.

Responsibilities :

• Configure, build, and maintain solutions across the Workday HCM platform.
• Design and build Workday integrations (Studio, EIB, Core Connectors, web services) for inbound and outbound data.
• Extend the platform with custom development and automation that reduces manual effort.
• Apply AI tooling (coding assistants, agentic workflows, LLMs) to accelerate delivery and automate routine work.
• Write clean, tested, maintainable code and help uphold engineering standards and SDLC practices.
  
  
  

Required Skills :

• Senior-level depth: several years of hands-on Workday engineering with a track record of owning complex work end to end.
• Strong hands-on Workday experience — configuration and integrations in a production environment.
• Hands-on experience with Workday Extend for building custom apps on the Workday platform.
• Self-starter who can take an ambiguous ask, recommend an approach, and deliver without close supervision.
  
  
  

Preferred Skills :

• Custom software development experience in Java and/or Python, delivered end to end.
• AI-forward working style: actively uses AI-assisted development tools and looks for opportunities to automate with AI.
• Workday AI experience (e.g. Workday's AI features / AI Gateway) — a plus, not required.
• AWS or cloud platform experience.
• Test automation and CI/CD pipeline experience.
