About the Team

We are a platform engineering team responsible for integrating and extending College Board9s ERP (Workday) and LMS ecosystems through AWS-based cloud solutions. Our work focuses on building reusable, scalable integration patterns and services that connect enterprise SaaS platforms with internal systems.We work at the intersection of enterprise SaaS platforms and modern cloud architecture1esigning, building, and supporting APIs, event-driven integrations, and platform capabilities that enable critical business operations. Our engineers collaborate closely with product, security, and business partners to deliver reliable solutions that scale with organizational needs.

Operating in a DevOps and Agile environment, we design and manage event-driven architectures, APIs, and data flows that support Finance, HR, and learning systems. We prioritize reliability, security, and observability, ensuring our platforms are resilient andproduction-ready.

Our team brings together diverse engineeringskillsets across cloud infrastructure, integrations, and application development. We partner closely with product and business teams to translate complex requirements into well-architected solutions that deliver measurable impact.

AboutOpportunity

Asa Senior Workday Engineer on our ERP & LMS platform engineering team,you will design, build, andoperateintegrations and cloud-based solutions that power critical Finance, HR, and learning systems. You will work across Workday and other SaaS platforms,leveragingAWS services to deliver scalable, secure, and resilient solutions.

You will own the full lifecycle of integrations and platform capabilitiesfrom architecture and development to deployment, monitoring, and ongoing support. A key focus of this role is ensuring solutions are built with strong observability, enabling proactive detection, rapid troubleshooting, and continuous improvement of system performance and reliability.

You will partner closely with product, engineering, and business teams to define clear integration patterns, APIs, and system boundaries. You will help ensure that all solutions meet enterprise standards for security, compliance, and data integrity, while also improving operational readiness through automation, monitoring, and well-defined recovery processes.

As a senior engineer, you will contribute to a culture of engineering excellence by mentoring others, providing thoughtful code and design feedback, and promoting best practices in cloud architecture, DevOps, and integration design. You will play a key role in strengthening the resilience of ourplatformsbydesigningsystems that gracefully handle failures, scale effectively, andmaintainhigh availability.
