• Build custom Workday solutions using Workday Extend, including orchestrations and application components.
• Create and enhance data transformation logic with XML, JSON, XSLT, and calculated fields.
• Reporting & Analytics
• Develop advanced reporting and document outputs using BIRT and other Workday reporting tools (Report Designer / RaaS) with strong layout and design skills.
• Partner with business teams to translate reporting requirements into technical solutions.
• HCM and Functional Expertise
• Provide deep functional insight into Workday Human Capital Management processes (Core HCM, Absence/Time, Payroll, Benefits, etc.).
• Understand Workday business process configuration, security, and data models to support integrations and applications.

Technical Leadership & Support:

• Troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues in production and testing environments.
• Document integration and development artifacts, including technical specifications, data mappings, workflows, and test plans.
• Mentor and guide less experienced developers or technical resources.
• Stay current with Workday releases, new features, and best practices.

• 5+ years of hands-on Workday integration development experience (Studio, Orchestrate, EIB, Core Connectors).
• Demonstrated experience with Workday Extend development and orchestration flows.
• Strong proficiency in BIRT design and advanced reporting.
• Deep experience with web services (SOAP, REST) and data transformation (XML, JSON, XSLT).
• Comprehensive understanding of Workday HCM processes and data structures.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to work independently.
• Prior involvement in full software lifecycle: requirements, design, build, testing, deployment, support.
• Strong communicator capable of explaining technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Proactive and self-directed, with a passion for quality and technical excellence.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in dynamic project environments.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Workday certifications in Integrations, Workday Extend, or related tracks.
• Experience supporting integrations across multiple Workday functional domains (HCM, Payroll, Finance).
• Prior experience in high-complexity enterprise environments or large data-integration landscapes.
