We are seeking a Senior Data Integration Engineer to design, build, and operate scalable data ingestion pipelines that power Workforce Analytics.

This role is responsible for acquiring and standardizing data from enterprise systems—especially Workday—into the data platform, using tools such as Fivetran, APIs, and file-based integrations
. You will ensure that source data is ingested accurately, reliably, and efficiently to support downstream modeling, analytics, and secure consumption.

You will work closely with Data Platform, Data Engineering, and HR systems teams to ensure data is timely, complete, and production-ready.

• Design, build, and maintain scalable ingestion pipelines using:
  • Fivetran (primary tool)
  • REST/SOAP APIs
  • Flat files (SFTP, batch ingestion, vendor extracts)
• Integrate data from key enterprise systems, including:
  • Workday (core HCM, recruiting, etc.)
  • Other HR, payroll, and workforce-related systems
• Ensure ingestion pipelines are robust, efficient, and fault-tolerant

• Develop deep expertise in Workday data structures and integration patterns
• Design ingestion strategies for:
  • Worker data
  • Job/position structures
  • Organizational hierarchies
  • Recruiting and talent data
• Handle complexities such as:
  • Effective-dated data
  • Hierarchical relationships
  • Slowly changing attributes

• Implement monitoring, alerting, and observability for ingestion pipelines
• Ensure data completeness, timeliness, and accuracy
• Troubleshoot pipeline failures and data discrepancies at the source level
• Partner with upstream system owners to resolve data quality issues

• Configure and optimize Fivetran connectors
• Manage sync schedules, schema changes, and connector performance
• Ensure cost-efficient use of Fivetran
• Handle edge cases where custom ingestion is required beyond Fivetran

• Define best practices for:
  • API-based ingestion
  • File handling and validation
  • Incremental vs full-load strategies
• Establish standards for naming, metadata, and lineage at ingestion layer
• Ensure raw data is structured for downstream transformation (Coalesce)

• Implement version control and deployment practices using Azure Dev Ops / Git Hub
• Enable repeatable, testable deployment of ingestion pipelines
• Document integration logic and configurations

• Partner with:
  • Data Platform Engineering (Snowflake readiness, access patterns)
  • Data Engineers (downstream modeling in Coalesce)
  • HRIS / Workday teams (source system alignment)
• Ensure clean handoffs between ingestion to transformation to consumption

• 5+ years of experience in data engineering or data integration engineering
• Strong experience with Fivetran or similar ingestion tools
• Experience integrating data via APIs and flat files
• Hands‑on experience working with Workday integrations or HR data systems
• Strong SQL skills and understanding of data structures
• Experience building reliable, production‑grade data pipelines
• Familiarity with cloud data ecosystems (Snowflake preferred)

• Deep…
