Description

Position Overview We are seeking an experienced Workday Orchestrate Architect to lead the design, development, and enterprise governance of our next-generation automated workflows and integration ecosystem. In this role, you will act as the primary technical authority for leveraging Workday Orchestrate alongside Workday Extend and the Workday Integration Cloud . You will bridge the gap between complex enterprise business processes and technical execution-architecting real-time, event-driven orchestrations that connect Workday natively with third-party systems like ServiceNow, Okta, Jira, Salesforce, and external payroll platforms.

Key Responsibilities

• Solution Architecture & Technical Design Design and govern scalable, real-time, event-driven enterprise workflows using Workday Orchestrate and Workday Extend . Define technical patterns and criteria for when to deploy Orchestrate versus Workday Studio, EIBs, Core Connectors, or Enterprise Middleware (MuleSoft/Boomi). Create end-to-end technical architectural blueprints, sequence diagrams, and API specifications (OpenAPI/Swagger) for cross-system integrations.
• Development & Engineering Leadership Build complex logic paths, conditional branching, and custom payload mappings using the web-based visual Orchestration Builder. Implement real-time triggers using Workday Business Events and webhooks to drive immediate multi-system actions. Design resilient exception-handling mechanisms, including automated retry logic, alerting frameworks, and circuit breakers.
• Security, Governance & Performance Ensure all orchestrations comply with Workday security standards, dynamic data encryption protocols, and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). Optimize payload sizes, execution speeds, and tenant performance for both batch and high-frequency real-time transactions. Oversee environment migration strategies (Implementation Sandbox Production) and maintain CI/CD pipelines.

Required Qualifications & Experience

• Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Software Engineering, or related field (or equivalent practical experience).
• Workday Technical Experience: 8+ years in Workday integrations/architecture, with at least 2 3 years dedicated to Workday Orchestrate and Workday Extend .
• Integration Expertise: Proven track record building enterprise integrations using Workday Studio, REST/SOAP APIs, JSON, XML/XSLT, and OpenAPI/Swagger.
• Security & Auth Standards: Deep understanding of modern authentication protocols (OAuth 2.0, SAML, Mutual TLS, PGP encryption).
• Middleware Knowledge: Experience connecting Workday to enterprise iPaaS tools (e.g., MuleSoft, Dell Boomi, Workato).

Preferred Qualifications / Key Certifications

• Workday Integrations Certification (Required or strongly preferred).
• Workday Extend & Orchestrate Certifications (Highly desirable).
• Hands-on programming/scripting experience (Python, JavaScript, or Java) for custom data handling.
• Familiarity with Agile/Scrum delivery frameworks
