At Workday, we love to have fun! From quirky sprint names, to adventurous team outings, our team knows the importance of having fun as a team together. Inclusivity and diversity is important for the team, everyone on the team takes training on Workday’s VIBE (Value, Inclusion, Belonging, Equity) program. What is the Developer Platform App life cycle at Workday?
Developer Platform App life cycle is the core of Workday’s Developer Platform, providing the infrastructure to manage the full lifecycle of applications. This platform governs the promotion, deployment, installation, version management, and compiler orchestration of Extend apps. Built on AWS, our services are designed with core components focused on scalability, resilience, and robustness.
As a Senior Software Engineer, you will play a key role in designing and scaling Workday’s Developer core services platform. We are looking for a product-minded engineer with a strong sense of end to end ownership —someone who can wear multiple hats, thrive in ambiguous environments, and act as an owner to drive core platform initiatives from conception to completion.
You will lead the architecture of critical distributed subsystems, drive technical execution within the team, and collaborate closely with cross-functional partners to deliver robust solutions. This role requires deep hands-on expertise in distributed systems and microservices, along with a proven track record of translating complex product requirements into scalable code.
You are not just building software to a specification; you possess a deep curiosity about how your components integrate into the broader business ecosystem, a relentless focus on customer adoption, and mastery of AI-driven engineering tools to drastically reduce delivery cycles.
You will tackle sophisticated technical challenges, champion engineering best practices, and help mentor team members to ensure high-velocity, reliable delivery. What You’ll Do Design, build, and evolve secure, scalable microservices and intuitive frontend experiences that power mission-critical product features with strong performance and reliability.
Own major platform initiatives end-to-end translating ambiguous technical and product concepts into clean, functional software with clear accountability. Champion best practices in domain-driven design, API contract management, testing, observability, and architectural modernization to reduce technical debt and elevate code quality.
Leverage AI-assisted engineering tools and autonomous coding agents (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code) as an expert power-user to accelerate delivery and raise baseline quality. Lead and unblock a small, high-velocity team (1–3 developers), providing technical guidance, mentorship, and constructive code reviews to foster a culture of continuous learning.
