This role partners closely with HR, Payroll, Benefits, TA, InfoSec, and Enterprise Engineering to deliver secure, reliable, and scalable integrations.

Design robust error handling, alerting, and run controls; triage incidents and drive root-cause fixes across tenants and environments.

Implement secure transport and data protection (SFTP/MFT, certificates, encryption, token-based auth) aligned with HR data privacy and compliance.

Optimize Workday reporting: matrix/composite reports, complex calculated fields, report performance tuning, and data quality checks.

Collaborate on SDLC best practices (version control, peer reviews, CI/CD, unit/integration testing) and change management from sandbox to production.

Partner with HRIT product managers and stakeholders to translate requirements into technical designs and deliverables; provide clear documentation and handoffs to operations.
