***********MUST HAVE Workday Systems Integration Experience********************
Title: Workday System Integration Engineer
L ocation: Houston, TX (Remotw)
Duration: 6 Months Contract
Job Description:
Terms of Employment
- W2 Contract, 6 Months
- Remote Opportunity
Overview
- Our client is 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 possesses a deep mastery of Workday APIs, data structures, and business processes, complemented by a robust background in platform-agnostic integration architecture and engineering principles.
Responsibilities
Design and implement Workday integrations using:
- Workday REST APIs
- Workday SOAP APIs (Web Services)
- Workday data model and business process logic
Construct and troubleshoot:
- XML payloads and API requests
- API responses and error handling
- Authentication, security, and integration context
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
Diagnose integration issues by analyzing:
- Raw API request and response data
- Workday Business Process state and configuration
- Data integrity and sequencing issues across systems
Partner with engineering teams to support orchestration patterns using tools such as:
- Power Automate
- API layers
- Workflow and automation platforms
Ensure integrations respect system boundaries:
- Workday enforces business rules and approval flows
- External systems orchestrate, not override system-of-record logic.
Required Skills & Experience
- 4+ years of hands-on experience in Workday integration.
- Must demonstrate hands-on workday API experience and integration engineering depth.
- Strong proficiency in Workday SOAP APIs (Web Services), Workday REST APIs, and a deep understanding of the Workday data model and object relationships.
- Solid understanding of Workday Business Process-controlled API behavior and the ability to construct API requests manually.
- Proven ability to troubleshoot failures at the request/response level and debug integrations without relying on Studio abstraction layers.
- Strong understanding of XML structure, namespaces, and schema validation.
- Comprehensive knowledge of integration security (ISU, ISSG), authentication, and API connectivity patterns.
- Demonstrated ability to design integrations that are deterministic, resilient, observable, and auditable.
- Strong understanding of core integration patterns, including API-driven architecture, request/response vs. event-driven models, and orchestration vs. system-of-record responsibility.
- Ability to define validation layers before system updates and design safe retry strategies that prevent data duplication or corruption.
- Proficiency in isolating failures across multi-system workflows and experience working across multiple platforms beyond Workday.
- Strong analytical mindset with the ability to demonstrate software engineering fundamentals and solve complex integration challenges.
