We are seeking a senior, hands-on integration engineer with deep Workday expertise and strong system-agnostic integration and software engineering fundamentals. This role is responsible for designing, building, and troubleshooting API-driven integrations between Workday and enterprise platforms. Workday serves as the system of record, while Microsoft Power Automate and other tools act as orchestration and execution layers.
The ideal candidate combines: deep knowledge of Workday APIs, data structures, and business process behavior, and a strong understanding of integration architecture and engineering principles that apply across any system or platform.
Responsibilities:
1. Design and implement Workday integrations using:
Workday REST APIs
Workday SOAP APIs (Web Services)
Workday data model and business process logic
2. Construct and troubleshoot:
XML payloads and API requests
API responses and error handling
Authentication, security, and integration context
3. Build integrations that follow sound engineering principles:
Explicit validation prior to write-back
Deterministic execution and predictable outcomes
Robust error handling and retry strategies
Full observability including logging and audit trails
4. Diagnose integration issues by analyzing:
Raw API request and response data
Workday Business Process state and configuration
Data integrity and sequencing issues across systems
5. Partner with engineering teams to support orchestration patterns using tools such as:
Power Automate
API layers
Workflow and automation platforms
6. Ensure integrations respect system boundaries:
Workday enforces business rules and approval flows
External systems orchestrate, not override system-of-record logic
Required Qualifications:
Bachelor’s degree OR a significant amount of directly related work experience beyond the minimum required for the position
4+ years hands-on Workday integration experience
Strong expertise in:
Workday SOAP APIs (Web Services)
Workday REST APIs
Workday data model and object relationships
Workday Business Process-controlled API behavior
Proven ability to:
Construct API requests manually when needed
Troubleshoot failures at the request/response level
Debug integrations without relying on Studio abstraction layers
Strong understanding of:
XML structure, namespaces, and schema validation
Integration security (ISU, ISSG)
Authentication and API connectivity patterns
Must demonstrate strong fundamentals in integration and software engineering, including:
Designing integrations that are:
Deterministic and predictable
Resilient to failure
Observable and auditable
Understanding of core integration patterns:
API-driven architecture
Request/response vs event-driven models
Orchestration vs system-of-record responsibility
Ability to:
Define validation layers before system updates
Design safe retry strategies without duplicating or corrupting data
Isolate failures across multi-system workflows
