Sr. Integration Engineer

Description

We are looking for a senior integration engineer to lead the design and support of complex connections between Workday and enterprise applications. This position is ideal for someone who brings deep Workday expertise along with strong software and integration engineering fundamentals across platforms. The role focuses on building reliable, secure, and observable integrations while partnering with technical teams to ensure orchestration tools support, rather than bypass, system-of-record rules.

Responsibilities:

Architect, develop, and maintain integrations between Workday and enterprise platforms using Workday APIs, web services, and related integration capabilities.

Investigate and resolve integration failures by reviewing request and response data, business process behavior, and cross-system sequencing issues.

Create integration flows that emphasize pre-write validation, consistent execution, recoverability, and traceable audit logging.

Analyze payload structures, security settings, authentication methods, and connectivity issues to ensure stable data exchange.

Collaborate with engineering teams to implement orchestration approaches through platforms such as Power Automate and other automation tools.

Ensure integration designs preserve Workday business rules, approval paths, and system-of-record responsibilities across connected applications.

Perform hands-on troubleshooting without relying solely on abstraction layers, including direct inspection of service calls and message structures.

Support implementation and configuration activities related to integration architecture, monitoring, and operational reliability.

Requirements

At least 4 years of hands-on experience building and supporting Workday integrations.
Strong expertise with Workday APIs, Workday web services, and the Workday data model, including object relationships and business process behavior.
Demonstrated ability to manually construct service requests, interpret responses, and diagnose issues at the protocol or payload level.
Solid understanding of XML technologies, schema validation, namespaces, and secure integration connectivity patterns.
Experience applying core integration engineering principles such as deterministic processing, fault tolerance, observability, and auditability.
Knowledge of orchestration models, request-response and event-driven patterns, and the distinction between workflow coordination and system-of-record ownership.
Proficiency in troubleshooting security, validation, and data integrity issues across interconnected enterprise systems.
Background in software engineering, automation, and REST API-based integrations within HRIS or enterprise application environments.
