The work isn’t theoretical. It’s operational. It’s high‑impact. And it demands rigor, integrity, and long‑term thinking.

As a Software Engineer on the Integration Platform team, you will design and deliver scalable, secure, and developer‑friendly solutions that support everything from logs and metrics to system health and diagnostics. This is a hands‑on engineering position where code quality, thoughtful design, and tight‑knit collaboration are key to success. You will serve as a key technical liaison between the Integration Platform and the Workday Government organization, influencing our core observability strategy while ensuring our platform meets the rigorous demands of our Federal customers.
