• Data Pipelines & Transmissions: Implement secure file transmissions (SFTP/HTTPS/AS2), data validations, and reconciliation; manage schemas, mappings, and transformations.
• Monitoring & Reliability: Use tools like Dynatrace and BigPanda to detect anomalies, reduce MTTR, and drive incident prevention through observability and automation.
• Access & Security: Partner with PNC Enterprise security and access management teams to ensure data security and privacy controls for all assigned applications.
• SDLC & Agile Delivery: Work in Agile (Scrum/Kanban), manage work in Jira, and coordinate incident/change management in ServiceNow.
• Technical Leadership: Troubleshoot complex production issues, conduct root-cause analysis, mentor peers, and contribute to engineering standards.
• Cross-Team Collaboration: Work closely with technology teams, vendors, and business partners to prioritize, plan, and deliver integrations and enhancements.
Qualifications (Must-Haves)
• Experience: 3+ years in software engineering or integration engineering, with hands-on ownership of production integrations and ETL processes.
• Workday: Strong experience with Workday integrations (EIB, Studio, Core Connectors), troubleshooting, and coding within the Workday ecosystem.
• ETL & Data: Proficient in ETL design and implementation; data modeling, mapping, validation, and reconciliation.
• Monitoring & Operations: Experience with Dynatrace and/or BigPanda, alerting, dashboards, SLIs/SLOs, and incident response.
• Security & Access: Working knowledge of access management, data security, encryption, and secure file transfers.
• Process & Tools: Jira, ServiceNow, Agile methodologies; strong documentation and communication skills.
Nice-to-Haves
• Workday Certifications (e.g., Workday Studio, Integration Specialist).
• Knowledge of Oracle (SQL, performance tuning) for downstream HR/Payroll data stores.
