We’re in this together, tackling big challenges with bold ideas and genuine care. We look for curious minds and courageous collaborators who bring sun-drenched optimism and drive. Whether you're building smarter solutions, supporting customers, or creating a space where everyone belongs, you’ll do meaningful work with Workmates who’ve got your back. In return, we’ll give you the trust to take risks, the tools to grow, the skills to develop and the support of a company invested in you for the long haul. So, if you want to inspire a brighter work day for everyone, including yourself, you’ve found a match in Workday, and we hope to be a match for you too.

About The Team

At Workday Government, we focus on outcomes that serve a larger mission. Our work supports U.S. federal agencies as they modernize and transform the full employee lifecycle experience and finance operations—so they can operate with greater clarity, accountability, and trust. As a Fortune 500 company and a proven enterprise cloud platform, Workday brings modern technology, responsible AI, and secure infrastructure to some of the most complex environments in the world. The work isn’t theoretical. It’s operational. It’s high‑impact. And it demands rigor, integrity, and long‑term thinking.

About The Role

As a Software Engineer on the Integration Platform team, you will design and deliver scalable, secure, and developer‑friendly solutions that support everything from logs and metrics to system health and diagnostics. This is a hands‑on engineering position where code quality, thoughtful design, and tight‑knit collaboration are key to success. You will serve as a key technical liaison between the Integration Platform and the Workday Government organization, influencing our core observability strategy while ensuring our platform meets the rigorous demands of our Federal customers.

This role may support one or more direct or indirect contracts with the U.S. Federal Government. Because of federal government security requirements, all Workday personnel working on the contracts must be United States citizens (naturalized or native). The role may require a security clearance at the TS/SCI with CI Poly level. Applicants must have the ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government issued security clearance. An active TS/SCI with CI Poly is preferred.

Basic Qualifications

• 3+ years of strong professional background in Java and extensive experience with multi‑threading and concurrency.
• Ability to design and develop enterprise solutions with a focus on high quality, scalability, and availability.
• A minimalist approach to design, preferring to build small, reusable components that can be embedded in larger frameworks.
• A proven understanding and practical use of Design Patterns and Object Oriented Programming.
• A collaborative mindset and excellent communication skills. You thrive on working closely with team members to achieve shared delivery goals.
• Proven experience in software development using Java or Scala is preferred.

Other Qualifications

• Preferred DoD 8570/8140 compliance with at least IAT Level II certification, including a current Computing Environment (CE) credential and one approved specialty certification (e.g., CompTIA CySA+, GICSP, CASP+).
• Experience with distributed systems.
• Kafka, Kubernetes, networks and databases (MySQL).

May be required to be on site at client locations in the DC, MD, and VA (DMV) area.

Flexible Work

With Flex Work, we’re combining the best of both worlds: in‑person time and remote. Our approach enables our teams to deepen connections, maintain a strong community, and do their best work. We know that flexibility can take shape in many ways, so rather than a number of required days in‑office each week, we simply spend at least half (50%) of our time each quarter in the office or in the field with our customers, prospects, and partners (depending on role). This means you'll have the freedom to create a flexible schedule that caters to your business, team, and personal needs, while being intentional to make the most of time spent together. Those in our remote “home office” roles also have the opportunity to come together in our offices for important moments that matter.

Pursuant to applicable Fair Chance law, Workday will consider for employment qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records.
