• Troubleshoot integration failures, identify root causes, and proactively implement corrective actions.

• Partner with security teams to ensure proper data governance, access controls, and encryption.

Collaboration & Stakeholder Partnership

• Work with Workday developers within the People Tech team as well as cross functional partners to gather integration requirements and translate them into technical designs.

• Document integration specifications, data mappings, workflows, and system configurations.

• Participate in Workday release planning and regression testing to ensure integrations remain stable.

Continuous Improvement

• Monitor integration performance, optimize workflows, and identify opportunities to increase automation.

• Recommend and implement best practices for integration lifecycle management, versioning, and CI/CD within MuleSoft.

• Stay current with Workday and MuleSoft roadmap updates, new features, and industry trends.

Here’s what we're looking for:

Required

• 5+ years of experience developing integrations for Workday HCM.

• Strong hands-on experience with MuleSoft Anypoint Platform, including API design, flows, connectors, and error handling.

• Deep understanding of HRIS data structures, HR processes, and secure data integrations.

• Proficiency with XML, XSLT, JSON, REST, SOAP, and related integration technologies.

• Experience with Workday integration tools: EIBs, Studio, Core Connectors, PECI, and Report-as-a-Service (RaaS). Orchestrate experience preferred

• Strong analytical, debugging, and problem-solving abilities.

Preferred

• MuleSoft Developer certification(s) (MCD-Level 1/2).

• Workday Pro certification(s) in Integrations or relevant HCM domains. Greenhouse experience preferred
