Your work days are brighter here.

At Workday, it all began with a conversation over breakfast. When our founders met at a sunny California diner, they came up with an idea to revolutionize the enterprise software market. A culture driven by our value of putting our people first is central to who we are. Our Workmates believe a healthy employee-centric, collaborative culture is the essential mix of ingredients for success in business. We look after our people, communities, and the planet while still being profitable. Feel encouraged to shine, however that manifests: you don’t need to hide who you are. You can feel the energy and the passion; it's what makes us unique. Inspired to make a brighter work day for all and transform with us to the next stage of our growth journey? Bring your brightest version of you and have a brighter work day here.

About The Team

The Intelligent Orchestration team is responsible for some of Workday’s core service orchestration technologies, which are deployed in Workday’s data center and public cloud environments. We provide orchestration solutions for other Workday development and operations teams, allowing us to reach the next level of scale.

Within this team, we are responsible for Workday’s optimized job processing platform, which executes some of the largest customer jobs in Workday. We are a core part of the Workday stack, working with concurrent and distributed systems to provide this background job processing platform for our internal and external customers.

Our platform performs mission-critical processing for our customers and has a key role in the scalability of Workday’s platform. The team is constantly innovating and evolving to build the next generation of critical Workday services.

About The Role

As a Senior Engineer in our team, you will be responsible for designing and developing scalable components, microservices, and libraries using our technology stack in a highly distributed environment. Among other technologies, we frequently use Scala, Akka, Gradle, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins, Kafka, ZooKeeper, and Linux.

The role will involve designing, developing, and deploying a critical production service, including working on highly concurrent transaction processing, distributed memory management, communication protocols, and algorithms for distributed processing.

About You

Basic Qualifications:

  • 5+ years experience with Scala, or advanced Java with an interest in Scala / functional programming.
  • Experience with distributed, concurrent, high-performance systems.
  • Interest or experience in one or more of the following is helpful: Akka, Kafka, or Zookeeper.
  • UNIX or Linux experience.
  • BS in Computer Science or related fields.

Other Qualifications:

  • Love to solve problems with code – and prove code works via automation!
  • Have a passion for developing distributed systems and delivering them at scale while planning for future growth.
  • Design and develop enterprise solutions with high-quality standards and advocate continuous delivery.
  • Have a strong sense of ownership, having worked on and monitored a service in a production environment.
  • Are excited by shipping new features and know that delivering to production takes more than just coding.
  • Strive to understand the big picture. Given the choice, you would prefer to collaborate than to go at it alone.
  • Continuously endeavor to grow your skills.
  • Love to work in an environment where teams are given autonomy and are empowered to succeed.
  • You will join a world-class team, so you must be a team player with great communication skills.

At Workday, we believe every potential recruit brings a unique experience to the table. We do not believe in the ‘perfect’ candidate and we are happy to train and teach the skills needed for you to be successful in your career.

Our Approach to Flexible Work

With Flex Work, we’re combining the best of both worlds: in-person time and remote. Our approach enables our teams to deepen connections, maintain a strong community, and do their best work. We know that flexibility can take shape in many ways, so rather than a number of required days in-office each week, we simply spend at least half (50%) of our time each quarter in the office or in the field with our customers, prospects, and partners (depending on role). This means you'll have the freedom to create a flexible schedule that caters to your business, team, and personal needs, while being intentional to make the most of time spent together. Those in our remote "home office" roles also have the opportunity to come together in our offices for important moments that matter.

Pursuant to applicable Fair Chance law, Workday will consider for employment qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records.

Workday is an Equal Opportunity Employer including individuals with disabilities and protected veterans.
