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.

• Full observability including logging and audit trails

• Raw API request and response data
• Workday Business Process state and configuration
• Data integrity and sequencing issues across systems

• Power Automate
• API layers
• Workflow and automation platforms

• Workday enforces business rules and approval flows

• 4+ years hands-on Workday integration experience
• Strong expertise in:
  • Workday SOAP APIs (Web Services)
  • Workday REST APIs

  • Authentication and API connectivity patterns
• Must demonstrate strong fundamentals in integration and software engineering, including:
  • Designing integrations that are:
    • Deterministic and predictable
    • Resilient to failure
    • Observable and auditable
• Understanding of core integration patterns:
  • API-driven architecture
  • Request/response vs event-driven models
