Software Development Engineer, Workday

• 4+ years of software engineering experience, including ownership of features or components in production web applications
• 4+ years of experience building front-end applications with modern web technologies (for example, TypeScript/JavaScript, React) in a production environment
• 4+ years of experience working with REST or GraphQL APIs from the client side, including handling authentication, error states, and data fetching patterns
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
• Familiarity with cloud-native environments (for example GCP, AWS, or Azure) and basic operational practices such as logging and monitoring
• Growing understanding of developer experience (DX) as a quality bar, with an interest in applying that lens to UI and tooling decisions
• Exposure to micro-frontend architecture, shared component libraries, or design systems, and an interest in deepening that expertise
• Familiarity with build tooling and CI/CD concepts (for example, Webpack, Vite, GitHub Actions, or similar), with willingness to grow into deeper build infrastructure work
• Solid API design fundamentals, including familiarity with REST, GraphQL, and OAuth 2.0/OIDC concepts
• Demonstrated ability to execute well-scoped technical work independently, with sound judgment on when to ask for guidance versus proceed
• Effective communication skills, both verbal and written, with the ability to collaborate across product, engineering, and design teams
• Eagerness to learn from senior engineers and grow into greater ownership of architecture and technical direction over time

Desirable

• As a Software Engineer on the Developer Platform team, you will build and improve the front-end surfaces and developer tooling that make up the Workday Developer Portal
• You will execute against well-scoped technical work defined in partnership with senior engineers, contribute to shared UI components and build infrastructure, and collaborate across product and engineering teams to ship reliable, easy-to-use experiences for internal and external developers
• Build and maintain front-end surfaces within the Workday Developer Portal, working within established micro-frontend (MFE) boundaries and shared component patterns
• Contribute to developer tooling and build infrastructure—including local dev environments, CI/CD pipelines, linting, and testing setups—that improve velocity and reliability for the broader engineering team
• Implement features and fixes against designs and technical direction set by senior and principal engineers, with growing autonomy over implementation details
• Collaborate closely with senior engineers, product managers, and cross-functional teams to understand requirements and deliver well-scoped engineering work on schedule
• Follow established API governance and engineering best practices, including versioning, backward compatibility, and security standards for public-facing surfaces
• Participate in code review, design discussions, and pairing sessions, both giving and receiving feedback to raise the technical bar on the team
• Contribute to developer-facing documentation, onboarding flows, and tooling improvements that make the platform easier to adopt and extend
