At Kyndryl, we run and reimagine the mission-critical technology systems that drive advantage for the world's leading businesses. We are at the heart of progress; with proven expertise and a continuous flow of AI-powered insight, enabling smarter decisions, faster innovation, and a lasting competitive edge.

Join us and experience a flexible, supportive environment where your well-being is prioritized and your potential can thrive.

The Role

Are you ready to join Kyndryl's CIO Hire-to-Retire organization as a Senior Lead, Software Engineering Specialist - Workday Time Tracking & Absence? We are seeking an experienced, independently driven Workday practitioner to design, configure, and support Time Tracking and Absence solutions with Workday as the system of record.

In this role, you will serve as a subject matter expert for Workday Time Tracking and Absence, owning solution design, configuration, testing, and deployment across global business requirements. You will partner closely with HR, Payroll, and downstream teams to deliver accurate, compliant, and scalable solutions that support both day-to-day operations and evolving business needs.

You will be responsible for translating business requirements into Workday configuration solutions, advising on best practices, identifying impacts across related domains, and ensuring solutions are sustainable and supportable. This role requires the ability to work independently, manage competing priorities, and drive work to completion with limited oversight.

You will collaborate with integration partners and technical teams where needed, but your primary focus will be on functional configuration, solution quality, and business outcomes, rather than custom development. This role offers the opportunity to be a key contributor to a business-critical HR platform supporting Kyndryl's global workforce, supporting cross-functional solution and assessing end-to-end impacts across the Hire-to-Retire lifecycle.
