Workday Integrations Engineer

Job Summary

The Workday Integration Consultant designs, builds, and supports integration between Workday and enterprise platforms, with a strong emphasis on Finance Data Hub enablement and Workday Financials/Accounting Center integration patterns. This role partners business stakeholders, Workday functional teams, and technical teams to deliver secure, scalable, and reliable inbound and outbound integrations across the ERP ecosystem—including Workday Prism data ingestion, Accounting Center batch orchestration, API-first integration standards, and robust monitoring, reconciliation, and operational support.

Key Responsibilities

Integration Design & Development

• Design, build, test, and deploy integration using Workday and enterprise integration capabilities aligned to ERP modernization standards, including:
  • Workday Prism Analytics ingestion patterns (including Prism API / Data Change Tasks where applicable)
  • Workday Accounting Center (ACC) integration and batch orchestration concepts(Prefered)
  • Workday Studio (complex integrations, orchestration, logging/notifications)
  • EIB / Core Connectors (where fit-for-purpose and maintainable)
  • REST APIs (API-first) and reporting extraction approaches (WQL / RaaS)
• Lead inbound and outbound integrations supporting Workday Financials (including Accounting Center and Prism) and upstream/downstream enterprise platforms, with specific experience integrating Finance data hub(FDH)-style data hubs to Workday.
• Translate business requirements into technical integration designs, specifications, data contracts, and runbooks, including clear ownership boundaries (e.g., file-level validations vs. Workday event-level rejections).
• Design and implement robust data movement to/from Workday, including Prism ingestion considerations (format/compression, chunking, submission as a single load event), traceability, and reconciliation controls (record counts, control totals, and “unit-of-work/body-of-work” handling).

Requirements & Stakeholder Collaboration

• Work closely with business and external vendors to gather and document integration requirements.
• Provide guidance on Workday integration best practices and architecture.
• Participate in design reviews, configuration workshops, and solution walkthroughs.

Testing & Deployment

• Perform unit, system, and end-to-end integration testing; support UAT; and validate non-functional requirements (throughput, concurrency, and failure recovery) for Data Hub ↔ Workday integrations.
• Troubleshoot integration issues including authentication, connectivity, payload/schema mismatches, transformations, and partial-load scenarios; implement and tune retry logic and clear failure notifications/triage procedures.
• Support controlled migration and promotion across Workday tenants (Sandbox, Implementation, Production), including release planning, regression testing, and cutover support.

Security & Compliance

• Configure and manage Workday security policies, authentication frameworks, and encryption standards.
• Ensure integrations comply with data privacy, SOX, GDPR, and company security policies.

Monitoring & Support

• Monitor integration health and performance; proactively address failures using established observability practices (logging, metrics, alerts) and defined support processes.
• Provide post-production support including operational runbooks, reconciliation checks, defect triage, and stakeholder communications.
• Support Workday releases (including impact assessments and regression testing) and coordinate integration updates with FDH and downstream systems to maintain continuity of service.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience.
• 3 years of experience delivering Workday integrations, including Workday Financials integration patterns and enterprise-scale data movement.
• Hands-on experience with:
  • Workday Studio, EIBs/Core Connectors, and Workday Financials integration concepts (Accounting Center, Prism)
  • REST APIs and data extraction approaches (WQL and/or RaaS), plus XML, XSLT, and JSON as needed
  • Enterprise integration security and transport patterns (OAuth/token-based auth where applicable, SFTP/MFT, PGP encryption, scheduling, and API gateways such as APIM)
• Strong understanding of Workday Financial Data Model (FDM) concepts and the downstream impacts to inbound/outbound integrations, including controls, traceability, and reconciliation expectations.
• Experience working in Agile or hybrid project environments.
