Solution Architect - Workday Talent Technology

At Netflix, our mission is to entertain the world. Together, we are writing the next episode - pushing the boundaries of storytelling, global fandom and making the unimaginable a reality. We are a dream team obsessed with the uncomfortable excitement of discovering what happens when you merge creativity, intuition and cutting-edge technology. Come be a part of what’s next.

About the Role

You will own the design and delivery of Workday solutions that directly enable critical people and talent decisions. You are responsible for configurations, strong in solution design, opinionated about tradeoffs, and accountable for end-to-end outcomes from design through deployment and stabilization. You’ll partner with business stakeholders, challenge their assumptions, and rapidly translate messy business needs into pragmatic, scalable Workday solutions.

What You’ll Do

• Own end-to-end solutions

  • Partner directly with Talent, Product, and cross-functional stakeholders to understand business objectives and translate them into system designs

  • Independently lead medium-to-large features and workstreams, from discovery through deployment, and make sure they land with measurable business impact
     

• Design, configure, and deploy

  • Configure and enhance Workday HCM functionality, making clear, opinionated tradeoffs between speed, simplicity, and flexibility and pushing back when complexity doesn’t pay off.

  • Conduct fit-gap analysis to identify where we adapt the business to Workday vs. where we extend Workday to meet critical needs; make those calls explicitly and defend them with data and logic.

  • Create and maintain clear solution designs, configuration logs, and documentation that make it easy for others to support and extend your work

  • Collaborate with other team members to define mapping, scenarios, and testing for integrations between Workday and other systems, ensuring the end-to-end flow is successful.

  • Troubleshoot and resolve issues during implementation and post-go-live, focusing on root cause and preventing repeat problems

• Drive standards and continuous improvement

• Act as a Workday subject-matter expert by setting and evolving design patterns, configuration standards, and “do/don’t” guidelines for the team

• Stay current on Workday releases, features, and industry practices; proactively propose improvements and be willing to deprecate legacy solutions that no longer make sense.

• Contribute to continuous improvement of internal processes, tools, and methodologies to increase speed, quality, and learning for the broader team.

• Avoid recreating legacy processes in Workday without questioning whether they still make sense.

What You Bring

Scope & Impact

• Experience independently owning medium-to-large Workday features or workstreams from design through post-go-live support.

• Demonstrated ability to align solutions to clear business metrics and measure the impact of your work.

• Track record of solving simple to moderately complex operational and technical problems in Workday without constant escalation.

Technical Depth & Execution

• Experience defining or improving team-wide configuration or design standards

• Strong hands-on experience configuring Workday

• Solid understanding of Workday data structures, reporting, security and basic integrations; comfortable partnering with integration engineers on more complex patterns.

• Habit of leaving systems, documentation, and processes better than you found them.

Decision Making & Communication

• Clear, structured thinking: can map ambiguous business requirements to specific Workday solutions and explain tradeoffs to both technical and non-technical audiences.

• Able to prioritize, communicate status and risks crisply

Influence & Collaboration

• Effective collaborator with HR, Talent, Engineering, and Operations teams; known for making others more effective

• Willing to provide feedback to peers, help unblock others, and contribute actively in team design and architecture discussions.

Culture & Values

• Holds yourself and others to a high-performance bar

• Speaks up when you disagree — with data, logic, and respect — even when it’s uncomfortable or unpopular.

• Oriented toward velocity and practical business impact

• Invested in understanding the HR and Talent domain deeply enough to challenge stakeholders
