We are HCLTech, one of the fastest-growing large tech companies in the world and home to 223,000 people across 60 countries, supercharging progress through industry-leading capabilities centered around Digital, Engineering and Cloud. (www.hcltech.com )

We are looking for a highly talented and self-motivated Lead Workday Integration Engineer to join us on our journey in advancing the technological world through innovation and creativity. This individual will have strong hands-on experience designing and delivering integrations using Workday Orchestration, Workday Extend apps, and Workday APIs (SOAP & REST). The ideal candidate will build event-driven and scalable integrations, implement secure API patterns, and partner with HR/Finance/IT stakeholders to deliver reliable automation across enterprise systems.

Role/Responsibilities
Integration Design & Delivery
Design, build, test, and deploy integrations using Workday Orchestration, including event-based triggers and downstream workflows.
Develop and maintain integrations leveraging Workday APIs (SOAP and REST) for real-time and near-real-time data exchange.
Build and support integrations using Workday integration frameworks such as:
o EIB (Inbound/Outbound)
o Core Connectors / Cloud Connect
o Workday Studio (as applicable)
o RaaS (Reports-as-a-Service) and calculated fields where needed
Implement integration patterns including:
o Event-driven orchestration (business process events, change events, and system events)
o API-first integrations
o Asynchronous and re-triable processing patterns
o Idempotency, correlation IDs, and transaction traceability
Workday Extend Apps & Automation
Design and develop Workday Extend applications to enable custom user experiences and orchestrated business outcomes.
Integrate Extend apps with Workday and external systems using Orchestration and Workday APIs.
Build reusable services/components for validations, approvals, and process automation.
Event-Based Triggering & Orchestration
Configure and implement event-based triggers using Workday Orchestration to automate end-to-end processes (e.g., hire-to-provision, job change updates, term-to-deprovision, vendor onboarding).
Define trigger conditions, event routing, error handling, and observability mechanisms.
Ensure orchestration flows align with business processes and support audit and compliance requirements.
Security, Controls & Reliability
Implement security best practices for integrations including:
Least privilege access via Workday security domains and integration system users
Secrets management and secure certificate handling
Authentication/authorization patterns (e.g. 0Auth2 where applicable, APT client controls)
Build operationally resilient integrations with:
Automated retries, dead-letter handling (when applicable), and reconciliation steps
Monitoring, alerting, logging, and runbooks
Support compliance requirements (SOX/ITGC/data privacy) through strong traceability and documented controls.
Testing, Deployment & Support
Create and execute integration test strategies including unit tests, end-to-end tests, and regression plans.
Manage releases across tenants (Sandbox → Implementation → Production) using Workday deployment best practices.
Provide production support, troubleshoot failures, and perform root cause analysis (RCA) with preventive actions.
Stakeholder Collaboration
Work closely with HR/Finance, Security, IAM, and downstream application teams to define interface requirements.
Translate business needs into solution architecture and integration specifications.
Provide technical guidance and mentor junior integration developers.


Qualifications & Experience

Minimum Requirements
3–8+ years of Workday integration experience (level adjusted for Engineer vs Lead)
Strong hands-on experience with:
Workday integration tools such as EIB, RaaS, and/or Studio
Workday Orchestration (including event-driven patterns)
Workday APIs: SOAP and REST
Solid understanding of:
Data transformation formats: JSON, XML, XSLT
API testing and debugging tools (e.g., Postman or equivalent)
Integration patterns (sync/async, pub-sub concepts, event-driven architectures)
Experience building reliable error-handling, monitoring, and reconciliation mechanisms.
Strong documentation skills (interface specs, data mappings, runbooks, troubleshooting guides).


Desired Qualifications
Experience integrating Workday with IAM/Provisioning solutions (e.g., Azure AD, SailPoint, Okta) using event triggers.
Familiarity with middleware/iPaaS tools (e.g., MuleSoft, Boomi) and hybrid patterns with Workday Orchestration.
Knowledge of Workday security concepts: integration system users, domains, business process security policies.
Exposure to audit/compliance-driven environments (SOX, GDPR, SOC reporting).
