Full Job Description
About the Team
Once a Workday application is built by our developers it is handed over to the Tenant Lifecycle Engineering (TLE) team. This is the team that supports the operations of our applications and services. They run all environments from production, sandbox, sales and implementation. This team pushes new code to our existing customers, handles the health, performance and reliability of the Workday stack, and in general, "keep the lights on" with 24/7 coverage.

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).

You will be a key contributor on the TLE Public Cloud Team. You will help the team in building a user friendly, scalable, and reliable tool framework. You will work closely with others from TLE to help automate tenant management and other operational tasks while being part of on-call and patch rotations.

About You

This role may require a security clearance at the TS/SCI w/CI Poly level. Applicants must have the ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government issued security clearance. An active TS/SCI w/CI Poly is preferred.

You are a highly organized, technically fluent program leader who thrives in complex, fast-paced environments, managing ambiguity, aligning stakeholders, and driving execution. You balance technical understanding with program management expertise to anticipate risks and maintain momentum. You break down complex problems into actionable plans and possess a proactive, ownership-driven, and results-focused mindset.

May be required to be on site at client locations in the DC, MD, and VA (DMV) area

You have excellent analytical skills for solving and problem determination. You love solving the complexities of running a deployment. You dislike doing things twice, so you automate each step along the way. You strive to make things self-healing, elastic, automatic, repeatable, and well tested. Have a high degree of comfort in Object Oriented, and Functional Programming. You are passionate about automation and motivated by writing fast, scalable code with test-ability in mind and exhilarated by working in a fast-paced environment!

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.
