Description

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Core Platform Integration Team. As a Senior Software Engineer on this team, you'll be one of the hands-on technical engineers working closely with acquired company engineering teams to plan, implement, and execute their migration to CP2.

Responsibilities:

  • Partner with engineering leads at 2–3 assigned acquired companies to inventory their services, dependencies, and CSP-specific footprint.
  • Produce a per-service migration plan: what stays, what gets refactored onto CP2 paved-road components, and a T-shirt-sized effort estimate.
  • Rewrite Terraform/Terragrunt modules to target CP2, port CI/CD pipelines, swap CSP-locked services for CP2 equivalents, and re-instrument observability to Workday standards.
  • Identify gaps in the CP2 paved road and feed concrete, well-scoped feature requests back to IPE platform teams.
  • Help establish repeatable migration patterns so future acquisition onboarding is faster.
  • Participate in Architecture Review Boards and drive consensus across IPE and acquisition teams.

Requirements:

  • 7+ years of software/infrastructure engineering experience, with at least 3 years operating production workloads on AWS and/or GCP.
  • Proficiency in using the latest AI tools as a force multiplier to accelerate code understanding, migration work, and documentation.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Strong, current Kubernetes experience.
  • Production proficiency in Terraform.
  • Strong coding skills in Go and/or Python.
  • Solid CI/CD experience.
  • Working knowledge of observability stacks.
  • Practical experience with at least one managed cloud database.

Workday offers a comprehensive benefits package, including:

  • Competitive salary
  • Annual refresh stock grants
  • Bonus Plan or role-specific commission/bonus
  • Flexible work arrangements
  • Opportunities for growth and development

Our Approach to Flexible Work: We combine 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.
