Job description

Contract-to-hire - Initial 6-month contract with potential permanent conversion

No bench agencies or third-party submissions. No visa sponsorship available.

Location: Remote

Compensation: Competitive, dependent on experience

We are looking for a Workday integrations rockstar who can bring strong Studio expertise and proven, hands-on Workday Orchestrate delivery experience to an established enterprise environment.

This is an opportunity to take ownership of complex integration work, influence technical decisions and help shape how an organisation adopts Workday Orchestrate. You will support a substantial existing integration landscape while identifying where modernisation can deliver real improvements.

Our client operates within healthcare and research, giving your work a direct connection to an organisation with a meaningful purpose.

What you will be doing

• Design, develop, test, deploy and support production integrations using Workday Orchestrate.
• Build, maintain and troubleshoot complex Workday Studio integrations.
• Evaluate existing Studio integrations and migrate or rebuild suitable solutions using Orchestrate.
• Recommend the right approach across Orchestrate, Studio, Core Connectors and other applicable Workday integration technologies.
• Work with REST and SOAP APIs, external systems, integration workflows and complex data transformations.
• Resolve integration failures, data-processing issues and performance bottlenecks, including across high-volume integrations.
• Contribute to architecture decisions covering scalability, security, reliability and maintainability.
• Partner with technical teams and business stakeholders to understand requirements and deliver against agreed priorities.
• Produce clear technical documentation, share knowledge and support the development of other integration engineers.
• Contribute to the team's use of AI-assisted development and emerging integration capabilities.

What you need to bring

• Substantial hands-on Workday Orchestrate experience, including integrations you have personally developed and delivered into production.
• Strong Workday Studio experience across complex enterprise integration development and support.
• Experience migrating or rebuilding Workday Studio integrations using Workday Orchestrate.
• Practical experience with Core Connectors, REST and SOAP APIs, integration workflows, external systems and complex data transformations.
• Sound architectural judgement, including knowing when to use Orchestrate, Studio or standard Workday connectors.
• Experience handling high-volume integrations and optimising integration performance.
• Integration experience across Workday HCM, Financials or another enterprise Workday functional area.
• Experience working within a complex, established Workday environment.
• A strong understanding of integration security, reliability, scalability and maintainability.
• Exposure to AI-assisted development and emerging integration or orchestration technologies.
• Experience documenting solutions, sharing technical knowledge and supporting other engineers.
• The ability to deliver independently, troubleshoot confidently and collaborate effectively with technical and business stakeholders.

You should be ready to discuss specific Orchestrate integrations you have delivered, your personal contribution, the technical challenges involved and the production outcomes. Training or initial experimentation alone will not meet the requirements.

• Help shape the adoption and expansion of Workday Orchestrate.
• Take ownership of challenging integration work within a substantial enterprise environment.
• Influence modernisation decisions alongside experienced Workday technical professionals.
• Apply your expertise within an organisation supporting healthcare and research.
• Start remotely on an initial 6-month contract, with the potential to move into permanent employment, subject to agreed conversion arrangements.
