Workday Developer - REMOTE

Software Guidance & Assistance, Inc., (SGA), is searching for a Workday Developer for a CONTRACT assignment with one of our premier Regulatory clients. This position is fully remote. 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.
