About the Team
VNDLY, a Workday company, is a next-generation vendor management SaaS platform designed for procurement executives, talent acquisition teams, suppliers, and Managed Service Providers (MSPs) to streamline contingent workforce management. We develop cloud software that simplifies talent sourcing and acquisition across various channels, including staffing agencies, job boards, and freelance management systems. Our aim is to create intuitive software that empowers customers to efficiently acquire top talent (contractors or full-time employees) through data-driven insights and transparent dashboards.

As part of Workday, we are committed to becoming the most customer-centric enterprise software company in the world. We prioritize enabling our customers to connect with the talent they need to thrive, achieved by fostering an exceptional engineering team dedicated to code quality and innovative design.

About the Role

As a Senior Software Development Engineer, you will be a technical leader on the team responsible for maintaining and building our pay-related features. This is a hands-on-keyboard role where you will not only build features but also own the design, scalability, and resilience of critical services.

You will tackle complex challenges related to how contingent workers are onboarded, managed, and paid, working on key features like Jobs, Worker Provisioning, Contracts, and Integrations. You will be a key voice in our architectural decisions and will guide the team in building robust solutions using our stack: Python (backend), React (frontend), and AWS.

This role is for an experienced engineer who enjoys solving complex software problems. The ideal candidate is motivated by continuous learning and maintains a high standard for code quality, consistently writing well-designed, testable, and efficient code. As a senior member of the team, this person must be willing to mentor others and share knowledge to help the team grow.

Clear communication is essential, particularly the ability to articulate complex technical ideas to different audiences. This role requires the ability to work effectively with ambiguous requirements, breaking down large projects into smaller, deliverable parts.

Basic Qualifications
  • 7+ years of professional software development experience.
  • 3+ years of demonstrated ability designing, building, and maintaining RESTful web services.
  • 3+ years of proven experience with relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL).
  • Deep proficiency in Python and experience with at least one Python web framework (e.g., Django, Flask).
  • Strong experience with modern JavaScript frameworks, specifically React.js.

Other Qualifications
  • Proficient understanding of code versioning tools (e.g., Git).
  • Experience with Amazon Web Services (AWS) (e.g., EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda).
  • Knowledge of SaaS applications, multi-tenant architectures, and DevOps/CI/CD practices.
  • Experience working in an Agile/Scrum development 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.
