Compensation: $80.00 - $100.00 per hour, W2.

Description:
We are seeking an experienced Workday Integration & Development Subject Matter Expert (SME) to lead and execute complex Workday solutions across integrations, custom development, reporting, and processes. This role requires a strong, hands-on technologist who can independently design, build, troubleshoot, and optimize enterprise-scale Workday solutions - not just oversee them.
You will work closely with cross-functional teams, including HR/Payroll, IT, project leadership, and external vendors, to drive technical excellence and ensure robust, scalable, and secure Workday integrations and applications.
Job Duties:

• Lead end-to-end design, build, test, deploy, and support of Workday integrations using Studio, Orchestrate, EIB, Core Connectors, and Web Services (SOAP/REST).
• Develop and maintain complex integrations with external systems and third-party APIs, support error handling, monitoring, and performance optimization.
• Build custom Workday solutions using Workday Extend, including orchestrations and application components.
• Create and enhance data transformation logic with XML, JSON, XSLT, and calculated fields.
• Develop advanced reporting and document outputs using BIRT and other Workday reporting tools (Report Designer / RaaS) with strong layout and design skills.
• Partner with business teams to translate reporting requirements into technical solutions.
• HCM and Functional Expertise
• Provide deep functional insight into Workday Human Capital Management processes (Core HCM, Absence/Time, Payroll, Benefits, etc.).
• Understand Workday business process configuration, security, and data models to support integrations and applications.
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues in production and testing environments.
• Document integration and development artifacts, including technical specifications, data mappings, workflows, and test plans.
• Mentor and guide less experienced developers or technical resources.
• Stay current with Workday releases, new features, and best practices.

Requirements:

• 5 years of hands-on Workday integration development experience (Studio, Orchestrate, EIB, Core Connectors).
• Demonstrated experience with Workday Extend development and orchestration flows.
• Strong proficiency in BIRT design and advanced reporting.
• Deep experience with web services (SOAP, REST) and data transformation (XML, JSON, XSLT).
• Comprehensive understanding of Workday HCM processes and data structures.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to work independently.
• Prior involvement in full software lifecycle: requirements, design, build, testing, deployment, support.
• Strong communicator capable of explaining technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Proactive and self-directed, with a passion for quality and technical excellence.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in dynamic project environments.

Preferred Qualifications

• Workday certifications in Integrations, Workday Extend, or related tracks.
• Experience supporting integrations across multiple Workday functional domains (HCM, Payroll, Finance).
• Prior experience in high-complexity enterprise environments or large data-integration landscapes.
