Job description

About the Role

At Kognitiv Inc., we’re redefining what it means to be a Workday partner. We are a fast‑growing company that builds solutions on the Workday Platform. Our Workday Extend team is small, agile, and growing at light speed. We seek a Consultant who moves beyond standard modules and dives into custom objects, event‑driven orchestrations, and high‑impact app development. This rare opportunity positions you as a founding member of our rapidly scaling Extend practice, helping define development standards and deliver solutions that truly didn’t exist before.

Key Technical Focus Areas

• App Development – Build custom apps using the Workday Extend framework and manage the full lifecycle from App Hub configuration to production deployment.
• Orchestration – Design and build complex, event‑driven Workday Orchestrations to sync data across Workday and third‑party systems.
• Data Modeling – Create and manage Custom Business Objects (CBOs) and custom processes to extend the Workday data model.
• UI/UX Design – Craft intuitive user experiences with Page Builder, ensuring a "Workday‑native" look and feel for every custom task.
• Advanced Logic – Utilize Workday Query Language (WQL) and REST/SOAP APIs to pull, push, and transform data with precision.

What You’ll Do Day‑to‑Day

• Design & prototype: Translate complex business requirements into technical blueprints, including UI flows, security domains, and data models.
• Full‑stack Extend delivery: Independently build, test, and deploy applications, ensuring they are "update‑safe" and maintainable.
• Troubleshoot & optimize: Debug complex logic within orchestrations and perform root‑cause analysis on app performance or security issues.
• Practice building: Contribute to our internal Reusable Solution Library so that templates and best practices become the foundation for future hires.
• Cross‑functional collaboration: Partner with Functional and Integration teams to ensure Extend apps integrate perfectly with core HCM, Finance, or Student modules.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in Workday Extend.
• Proficient in REST APIs, JSON, and Workday Web Services; familiarity with WQL is a major advantage.
• Ability to design Workday Orchestrations and custom security models independently.
• Experience with App Builder (Visual and Code modes) and a solid understanding of extending Workday’s metadata‑driven architecture.
• Comfortable in a "startup‑style" environment within a larger company, proactive, eager to learn, and willing to help build the roadmap.
• Strong communication skills to explain the "Art of the Possible" with Extend to non‑technical stakeholders.
