Senior Workday Integration Engineer; Hybrid

Position Summary

We are looking for a Senior Workday Integration Engineer based in Dallas, TX or Akron, OH (Hybrid) to maintain, support, and enhance Signet’s Workday cloud‑based HCM and Payroll platform. The role owns Workday integrations and Workday Extend solutions, acts as a senior technical contributor, and serves as a subject‑matter expert across Workday integrations, Extend‑driven business automation, and cross‑system workflows supporting internal and external applications.

• Workday Integrations & Extend Ownership

  Design, build, enhance, and support complex Workday integrations (Core Worker, Core Benefits, Core Payroll connectors, Studio integrations, APIs, file‑based integrations, and automation workflows). Design, build, and support Workday Extend applications (UI configuration, business logic, security models, and integration enablement). Leverage Workday Orchestration where appropriate to support integration‑driven workflows and multi‑system business processes. Collaborate with architects, developers, and business analysts to ensure solutions are secure, scalable, and aligned with Workday best practices.

• Workday Security, Compliance & Data Protection

  Configure, support, and troubleshoot Workday security (user‑based, role‑based, functional, integration‑related). Support security domains, business process security policies, security groups, role assignments, service accounts, authentication methods, and protected data access across HCM, Payroll, and Extend solutions. Partner with HRIS, Information Security, and Compliance teams to ensure configurations adhere to enterprise standards and least‑privilege principles. Support functional and operational security requests, audit activities, and remediation of identified issues.

• Production Support & Operational Leadership

  Provide advanced troubleshooting for production issues related to Workday integrations, Extend solutions, and security configurations. Monitor and respond to urgent production issues during business hours and participate in a rotating on‑call support schedule. Perform root cause analysis for recurring issues and drive corrective and preventative actions. Support day‑to‑day integration and security requests while following established access, change, and approval procedures.

• Maintenance, Releases & Continuous Improvement

  Perform and lead routine operational activities:
  Workday feature release testing, integration updates, certificate and key renewals, scheduled integrations, and job maintenance. Evaluate and adopt new Workday capabilities, including AI‑enabled features. Identify opportunities to improve integration reliability, operational resilience, security posture, and delivery efficiency.

• Leadership, Communication & Documentation

  Lead technical discussions, coordinate work across IT teams, business partners, vendors, and Security stakeholders. Create and maintain technical documentation, SOPs, and support playbooks. Support architects in developing technical and architectural diagrams. Provide clear written and verbal communication to technical and non‑technical audiences. Manage concurrent support and enhancement efforts while meeting assigned deadlines. Operate independently with minimal reliance on manager for day‑to‑day technical direction.

Act as a senior technical authority for Workday integrations and Extend solutions, providing guidance and informal mentorship to other engineers and analysts. Influence integration design patterns, Security standards, and operational best practices. Own outcomes for assigned solutions rather than individual tasks. Proactively identify security, compliance, and operational risks. Represent the integration function confidently in cross‑functional, vendor, and audit engagements. The role does not include formal people‑management responsibilities but leads through expertise, accountability, and influence.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, MIS, or related discipline, or equivalent relevant experience.
• Workday certifications preferred (Integrations, Extend, Studio, Payroll).
• 8+ years of experience in software integration,…
