The Company You’ll Join

Carta is the connected platform and AI-native ecosystem for private capital. Built to replace fragmented tools with a single system of record, Carta brings together the software, services, and legal infrastructure that founders use to manage equity, fund managers use to run administration and reporting, and legal teams use to close transactions. Trusted by 55,000 companies and 1.8M+ equity holders in 160+ countries, and 10,000 funds and SPVs representing $250B+ in assets under management, Carta is transforming how private capital operates. Recognized by Fortune, Forbes, Fast Company, Inc. and Great Places to Work.

At Carta, our employees set out on a mission to unlock the power of equity ownership for more people in more places. We believe that the problems we solve today unlock the opportunities of tomorrow. As a Workday Integrations Architect, you’ll work to:

• Own the end-to-end integration pipeline — from design and configuration to deployment and production support — ensuring Workday connects seamlessly with internal and external platforms via Studio, Orchestrations, Core Connectors, EIB, RaaS, and REST/SOAP APIs
• Ensure data integrity across all inbound and outbound integrations by building rigorous mapping, transformation, and validation processes that keep Carta's people data accurate and compliant at scale
• Govern the integration lifecycle — managing code migrations, production hyper care, and Workday release cycles including impact analysis, regression testing, and adoption of new features
• Serve as the subject matter expert for Workday integrations, advising HR, IT, and business stakeholders on design patterns and best practices that drive scalable, maintainable solutions
• Extend Workday's capabilities through Extend applications, calculated fields, and business process automation that reduce manual work and unlock operational efficiency
• Maintain key external platform connections — including Greenhouse, HireVue, and others — keeping Carta's HR tech ecosystem reliable and well-integrated

About You

• Deep Workday integration expertise. You have 8 years of general Workday Experience and 4+ years of hands‑on experience with Workday integrations — Studio, Orchestrations, Core Connectors, EIB, RaaS, REST, and SOAP — and you've built and maintained complex integrations in production environments.
• Workday platform fluency. You understand the Workday data model and business processes across multiple modules, including Core HCM, Payroll, Compensation, Absence, Time Tracking, Benefits, and Security — and you know how changes in one area ripple through others.

• Global mindset. You've worked in global environments and can navigate the complexity that comes with multi‑region, multi‑system data flows and compliance requirements.
• Builder mentality. You don't just maintain systems — you make them smarter. Experience with Workday Extend and a working familiarity with agentic AI or LLMs (such as Claude) is a plus.
