About the Team

Workday’s Professional Services organization partners with global enterprises to plan, build, and deploy cloud-based solutions across Human Capital Management (HCM) and Financials.

You will also use AI tools to support technical delivery. 

Key Responsibilities

• Integration Development: Build, configure, and maintain data integrations connecting Workday with third-party systems using modern APIs, data transformation tools, and database queries.

• Technical Delivery & Execution: Partner with senior team members to deliver technical work packages on schedule, adhering to project timelines established by the Project Manager.

• Testing & Quality Assurance: Design and execute unit test cases, debug integration errors, and resolve technical defects encountered during User Acceptance Testing (UAT).

• Client Engagement & Status Tracking: Participate in client-facing discussions to understand technical requirements, provide regular status updates, and support client enablement sessions.

• Continuous Learning & Certification: Earn required Workday technical certifications, expanding your knowledge of the software development lifecycle, enterprise cloud architecture, and data structures.

• AI-Enabled Implementation: Leverage AI agents provided by Workday to accelerate implementation and improve deliverable quality

How Success is Measured

• Utilization: Achieving standard associate billable targets (typically 70%–80% ) across active client engagements.

• Quality & On-Time Delivery: Delivering assigned configurations accurately within scope and budgeted hours.

• Core Competency Growth: Attaining required Workday product certifications and steadily building functional domain expertise.

• Strong analytical, algorithmic, and problem-solving skills, with hands-on coursework or project experience writing SQL queries and working with relational databases.

• Foundational understanding of the software development lifecycle (SDLC), object-oriented programming concepts, and web services/APIs (REST, SOAP, XML, or JSON).

• Excellent written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills in English.
