Senior Workday Integration Engineer
Location: Dallas, TX or Akron, OH (Hybrid)
POSITION SUMMARY
The Senior Workday Integration Engineer is responsible for maintaining, supporting, and enhancing Signet’s Workday cloud‑based HCM and Payroll platform, with primary ownership of Workday integrations and Workday Extend–based solutions. This role serves as a senior technical contributor and subject matter expert across Workday integrations—including Core Worker, Core Benefits, and Core Payroll connectors—Extend‑driven business automation, and cross‑system workflows supporting internal and external applications.

Additional responsibilities include leading technical discussions, providing clear written communication and status reporting, and creating and maintaining technical documentation and operational standards.

Human Resource, Payroll, Benefits‑related integration updates
