- This role demands a high degree of automation, a commitment to security and operational excellence, and the ability to work effectively in a global, 24x7 environment
- Architecture & Design: Act as the lead technical authority for our AWS infrastructure. Architect and design secure, scalable, highly available, and cost-effective cloud solutions that align with business requirements and industry best practices

- Cost Optimization: Proactively monitor and optimize cloud spend. Identify opportunities to improve resource utilization and leverage AWS cost management tools to drive efficiency without compromising performance or reliability
Our take
Workday is a cloud-based software vendor that provides management of workforces and finances. The company uses a single database for workforce management and financial management to offer integration and optimize business intelligence across companies. It has added to the packages and tools it offers over the years, providing analytic options that allow companies to combine third-party data with information collected by Workday.
Workday has acquired and paired up with many other companies to keep expanding its offering. In 2021, it purchased the employee feedback platform Peakon in response to the growing need for managers to be able to survey workers and collect satisfaction data without face-to-face meetings. The company has also bought and developed many financial tools and HR management tools.
The company’s goal is to provide end-to-end back office services and while there are other providers, such as UKG Pro and Ceridian HCM, Workday’s broad offering helps them to stand out. Though it faced a tough global market in 2023 and has shed some of its headcount, Workday has seen a 6.5% gain in value in the first quarter of 2024. It is now focusing on growth and developing the AI capabilities of its platform. .
