Workday is hiring a Senior Engineer (Tech Lead) - Application Development

About the Role

Shape the future of enterprise software as a Senior Engineer (Tech Lead) on a team building high-impact, cloud-based applications used by over 60 million people globally. You'll take ownership of architectural decisions, lead development efforts, and ensure systems are performant, reliable, and scalable from concept through production.

What You'll Do

  • Lead the design and implementation of enterprise-grade solutions using object-oriented programming languages such as Java, C#, or Python.
  • Ensure code integrity by developing comprehensive test strategies across unit, integration, and system levels, integrated into continuous delivery workflows.
  • Translate complex business requirements into technical direction, collaborating closely with product teams and leadership to align engineering outcomes with strategic goals.
  • Mentor developers through code reviews, pair programming, and knowledge-sharing sessions to elevate team-wide technical standards.
  • Communicate technical trade-offs clearly to non-technical stakeholders, enabling informed decision-making at all levels.
  • Work across distributed teams to deliver cohesive, well-engineered features that meet performance, scalability, and configurability needs.

What We’re Looking For

  • At least 8 years of experience in SaaS or web application development with deep expertise in object-oriented design and software engineering fundamentals.
  • Proven ability to lead technical delivery for complex systems, demonstrating mastery of algorithms, data structures, and design patterns.
  • Strong commitment to code quality, test automation, and performance engineering principles.
  • Experience guiding teams through full development cycles, with a focus on maintainability and long-term system health.
  • Familiarity with RESTful APIs, message queues, and metadata-driven platforms is highly valued.
  • Exposure to modern front-end frameworks like React is a plus, as is experience in agile or team leadership roles.

Work Environment & Culture

This role operates in a hybrid model, requiring time in office or field settings each quarter while allowing flexibility in scheduling. The culture emphasizes empathy, curiosity, and courageous collaboration—where diverse perspectives are welcomed and innovation is rooted in doing meaningful work. As part of the team, you'll contribute to an inclusive environment that supports career growth, community care, and technical excellence.

Compensation & Benefits

Pay varies by location, with eligibility for annual stock refresh grants and participation in the Workday Bonus Plan or role-specific incentive programs. A comprehensive benefits package includes health coverage, career development resources, and programs supporting accessibility and inclusion. The company is committed to equal opportunity employment, welcoming individuals of all backgrounds, including veterans and persons with disabilities.
