Workday Integration & Automation Sr. Engineer

The Role:

We are seeking an enthusiastic and highly autonomous Senior Automation & Integration Engineer to serve as a versatile technical architect across the organization. In this hands-on role, you will act as the “Automation Engine,” directly impacting company efficiency and scalability by orchestrating end-to-end technical solutions. You will be responsible for connecting, transforming, and managing data flows across our entire systems stack through AI-driven automation.

We are looking for an individual who embodies extreme ownership: someone capable of proactively engaging stakeholders, unblocking challenges, and getting things done.

The Work You'll Do:

• Design and Build: Develop and implement robust, scalable AI automation workflows using Make as the primary integration platform to connect core business systems, with particular focus on Workday as our primary ERP.
• Orchestrate and Integrate: Take full ownership of technical solutions, managing data flows, transformations, and database manipulation to ensure seamless integration between tools — including Workday Finance and Workday HCM 
• Innovate with AI: Proactively explore, evaluate, and implement AI applications (both within and outside of Make) to boost our solutions and drive operational efficiency.
• Collaborate and Engage: Partner with stakeholders across Legal, Finance, HR/P&C,IT and other departments to identify opportunities for automation and process improvement, acting as the technical bridge between business needs and systems capability.
• Experiment and Secure: Champion experimentation by testing new technologies while balancing innovation with a mindful approach to security, data integrity, and scalability — especially when handling sensitive financial and people data in Workday.
• Govern and Document: Contribute to the development and maintenance of documentation for automation workflows and integrations. Support the implementation of governance frameworks, including Workday integration standards and change management practices.
• Proactive Problem-Solving: Independently diagnose complex, cross-system issues. Identify architectural gaps and risks across end-to-end process flows. Propose creative solutions with trade-off analysis, and align recommendations to the team mission of enabling scalable, reliable, and compliant operations.
• Mentor and Enable: Mentor junior colleagues. Share domain knowledge through training, documentation, and team rituals. Contribute to a culture of technical excellence and continuous learning.

The Qualifications You'll Need:

• Deep Automation Expertise: 4+ years building production-grade automation workflows with Make (preferred), n8n, Zapier, or Power Automate. You design multi-step integrations with proper error handling, retries, and auditability — and you write scripts (Python and/or JavaScript) when no-code isn't enough. You understand API-based integrations, data modelling, and how to build systems that hold up at scale.
• Workday Integration Experience: Solid hands-on experience across Workday Finance and/or HCM — not just configuration, but a real understanding of the underlying data models and how Finance and P&C teams rely on Workday as their system of record. Practical experience building or maintaining integrations using EIBs, Workday Studio, Core Connectors, PECI/PICOF, or the Workday REST/SOAP APIs.
• Practical AI Application: Demonstrable experience designing and deploying AI-powered workflows, including LLM-based agents, to solve real business problems. You can evaluate AI tools critically, build structured POCs, and write clear assessment summaries — you bring pragmatism, not hype.
• “Get it Done” Mindset: A proactive, self-motivated approach with a bias for action. You thrive in fast-paced environments where requirements might change.
• Stakeholder Management: Proven communication skills and the confidence to engage with Finance and P&C stakeholders as well as technical teams, challenge assumptions, and communicate with radical candor.
• Curiosity: Eagerness to learn and quickly acquire new technical skills in a rapidly evolving tech landscape.
