Description

Core Responsibilities

- Design and implement Workday integrations using:

- Workday REST APIs

- Workday SOAP APIs (Web Services)

- Workday data model and business process logic

- Construct and troubleshoot:

- XML payloads and API requests

- API responses and error handling

- Authentication, security, and integration context

- Build integrations that follow sound engineering principles:

- Explicit validation prior to write-back

- Deterministic execution and predictable outcomes

- Robust error handling and retry strategies

- Full observability including logging and audit trails

- Diagnose integration issues by analyzing:

- Raw API request and response data

- Workday Business Process state and configuration

- Data integrity and sequencing issues across systems

- Partner with engineering teams to support orchestration patterns using tools such as:

- Power Automate

- API layers

- Workflow and automation platforms

- Ensure integrations respect system boundaries:

- Workday enforces business rules and approval flows

- External systems orchestrate, not override system-of-record logic

- Workday data model and object relationships

- Workday Business Process-controlled API behavior

- Proven ability to:

- Construct API requests manually when needed
