- 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).
