JOB DESCRIPTION:
Job Title: Senior Workday Integration & Development SME
We are seeking an experienced Workday Integration & Development Subject Matter Expert (SME) to lead and execute complex Workday solutions across integrations, custom development, reporting, and HCM processes. This role requires a strong, hands-on technologist who can independently design, build, troubleshoot, and optimize enterprise-scale Workday solutions — not just oversee them.
You will work closely with cross-functional teams, including HR/Payroll, IT, project leadership, and external vendors, to drive technical excellence and ensure robust, scalable, and secure Workday integrations and applications.
Key Responsibilities:
- Workday Integration & Technical Development
- Lead end-to-end design, build, test, deploy, and support of Workday integrations using Studio, Orchestrate, EIB, Core Connectors, and Web Services (SOAP/REST).
- Develop and maintain complex integrations with external systems and third-party APIs, support error handling, monitoring, and performance optimization.
- 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.
Required Skills & Qualifications:
· 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.
