What You Bring?
You provide deep expertise and sustained engagement within the ecosystem you’re already part of. This is not a typical product engineering role where open source is a side benefit; the primary job is ecosystem contribution:

• Thinking deeply about the end user as much as you consider what makes a great developer experience
• Contributions to the MCP specification and reference implementations
• Building and maintaining open-source MCP servers and tooling
• Participating actively in community discussions, helping others solve problems, and sharing what you learn
• An Ability and Eagerness to represent Workato as a constructive, technically credible voice in the MCP community
  
  

What Workato Offers?
Workato has made MCP central to our platform strategy. Workato provides the sponsorship, resources, and enterprise context. 

• 100 pre-built MCP servers for enterprise systems including Salesforce, Workday, NetSuite, Zendesk, Okta, Stripe, and others
• MCP Cloud allows any Workato API collection to become a remote MCP server with authentication, rate limiting, and governance built in
• Genies as MCP clients—our AI agents can invoke any third-party MCP server, connecting to the broader ecosystem
• 12,000 connectors available to be exposed as MCP-compatible tools

Workato benefits because we become a meaningful participant in the ecosystem rather than just a consumer of it. You benefit because you get paid to do work you're already doing, with enterprise backing and infrastructure behind you.

We’re not evaluating MCP; we’ve committed to it as the protocol layer for agentic automation in the enterprise.

The problems we're solving include identity, governance, multi-tenancy, observability. These are problems the community needs solved, and we're in a position to contribute those solutions upstream.

Required Skills: 

• 5–7 years of professional software development experience with a proven track record of shipping high-quality products
• Active, visible contributor to the MCP ecosystem
• Strong software engineering skills in Python or TypeScript, with comfort across multiple languages
• Existing relationships within the MCP community
• Proven track record of publicly writing, discussing, reviewing, and helping
• Experience shipping products, creating kits, understanding developer tools, and/or managing teams
  
  

Preferred Strengths:

• Contributions to the MCP spec or official repositories
• Experience with enterprise integration challenges
• Track record of sustained open source contribution
• Adaptable, proactive, and creative—comfortable working in a dynamic, startup-like environment.
• Strong problem-solving skills and a continuous improvement mindset.

What Does Ownership Look Like?
Your primary focus is ecosystem work, but your efforts will inevitably guide how Workato evolves its own MCP capabilities:

• Advise on architecture for exposing Workato connectors as MCP servers
• Help shape our developer experience for MCP
• Identify where Workato can contribute infrastructure or tooling that the domain needs
• Serve as an active, visible contributor to the MCP ecosystem, maintaining strong relationships in the MCP community, while building new bridges.
