About the Team
Are you passionate about keeping millions of customers' data safe? Workday's Platform Reliability Engineering team is dedicated to provide a resilient infrastructure for our Data Security & Privacy and Identity and Access Management (IAM) products for Workday. We are working on one of the top priorities for Workday with a strong customer demand.

In Security Products we're using the latest technologies to build platforms and services to support our growth while also ensuring the protection of Workday data and infrastructure is paramount. As a part of this team, you will help build and support enterprise grade security tools and services for the Security Products initiatives.

About the Role

This role will support one or more direct or indirect contracts with the U.S. Federal Government which, due to federal government security requirements, mandates that all Workday personnel working on the contracts be United States citizens (naturalized or native).

This role's charter is to develop, build, deploy, and support the security specific solutions and infrastructure to help protect Workday customers data. We have a hybrid schedule where you will have the opportunity to collaborate with Workmates at the office but still have the flexibility to work up to 50% remote.

The successful candidate will have a proven potential to work in a production focused diverse organization. You will be working in a rapidly moving microservices environment where resilience and scalability are key non-functional requirements. This will require you to work efficiently within your own team but also to coordinate with others in teams both locally and in other timezones. Also this role will require the operation and maintenance of our critical production system as well as building massively scalable digital security systems as part of that is core to all Workday services.

This position will require regular after-hours production support, in the event of critical service outages.

Our Approach to 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.
