About the Role:We're reinventing how People Operations runs at Vercel - and this role sits right at the center of it. You'll help us build and integrate Vercel-powered tools that replace legacy busywork with something genuinely fast and modern. If you get excited about composable HR tech and shipping tools people actually want to use, this is that role.
You'll also own and evolve our core Workday integrations, partnering closely with People, Finance, IT, and Engineering stakeholders to keep our HR systems reliable, secure, and scalable.. This role blends hands-on integration work with real functional fluency in People Operations - you'll need to understand not just how data moves between systems, but why our stakeholders need it to move that way. You will report to the Director of People Operations, Infrastructure & Services and will be located in one of our hub locations (San Francisco, New York, or Austin).
What You Will Do:- Help us build the future -- build and integrate Vercel-powered internal People tools that will define how this team works, and support our push towards a headless HR tech stack
- Build, maintain, and troubleshoot Workday integrations (EIB, Core Connectors/Cloud Connect, Workday Studio, APIs) that support key People Operations and Finance workflows.
- Partner directly with People Operations, Finance, IT, and Engineering stakeholders to understand process requirements and translate them into reliable, well-documented integration solutions.
- Develop working knowledge of core People Operations processes - like hire-to-retire, compensation, benefits, and org management - to inform sound integration and system design decisions.
- Monitor integration health, troubleshoot failures, and drive fixes in partnership with both technical and functional stakeholders.
- Maintain clear documentation of integration logic, field mappings, and processes for cross-team visibility.
- Contribute to testing, security, and change-management practices that keep our HR system integrations resilient as we scale.
About You:- Experience with generative AI and agentic coding platforms
- Excited by headless/composable HR tech - you want to build and integrate tools and APIs that go beyond a core HRIS, not just maintain the status quo.
- 4+ years of hands-on experience building and maintaining Workday integrations using EIB, Core Connectors/Cloud Connect, Workday Studio, and/or APIs.
- Working knowledge of XML/XSLT, calculated fields, and the Workday Business Process Framework; exposure to Workday security configuration is a plus.
- Genuine interest in People Operations - you're comfortable learning the functional "why" behind a process, not just the technical "how," and enjoy building relationships with People and Finance stakeholders.
- Strong communicator who can translate between technical integration details and non-technical stakeholder needs.
- Comfortable owning discrete integration projects independently, with guidance from senior team members on complex or ambiguous problems.
- A plus if you have experience using Workday Extend to build applications
Benefits:- Competitive compensation package, including equity.
- Inclusive Healthcare Package.
- Learn and Grow - we provide mentorship and send you to events that help you build your network and skills.
- Flexible Time Off.
- We will provide you the gear you need to do your role, and a WFH budget for you to outfit your space as needed.
