Workday Integration Lead Engineer - baie-comeau, Baie-Comeau

About the Role We are seeking a Workday Integration Engineer/Lead with strong hands-on experience designing and delivering integrations using Workday Orchestration, Workday Extend apps, and Workday APIs (SOAP & REST). The ideal candidate will build event-driven and scalable integrations, implement secure API patterns, and partner with HR/Finance/IT stakeholders to deliver reliable automation across enterprise systems. Key Responsibilities Integration Design & Delivery •Design, build, test, and deploy integrations using Workday Orchestration, including event-based triggers and downstream workflows. - Develop and maintain integrations leveraging Workday APIs (SOAP and REST) for real-time and near-real-time data exchange. - Build and support integrations using Workday integration frameworks such as: oEIB (Inbound/Outbound) oCore Connectors / Cloud Connect oWorkday Studio (as applicable) oRaaS (Reports-as-a-Service) and calculated fields where needed - Implement integration patterns including: oEvent-driven orchestration (business process events, change events, and system events) oAPI-first integrations oAsynchronous and re-triable processing patterns oIdempotency, correlation IDs, and transaction traceability Workday Extend Apps & Automation •Design and develop Workday Extend applications to enable custom user experiences and orchestrated business outcomes. - Integrate Extend apps with Workday and external systems using Orchestration and Workday APIs. - Build reusable services/components for validations, approvals, and process automation. Event-Based Triggering & Orchestration •Configure and implement event-based triggers using Workday Orchestration to automate end-to-end processes (e.g., hire-to-provision, job change updates, term-to-deprovision, vendor onboarding). - Define trigger conditions, event routing, error handling, and observability mechanisms. - Ensure orchestration flows align with business processes and support audit and compliance requirements. Security, Controls & Reliability •Implement security best practices for integrations including: oAuthentication/authorization patterns (e.g., OAuth2 where applicable, API client controls) - Least privilege access via Workday security domains and integration system users - Secrets management and secure certificate handling - Build operationally resilient integrations with: oMonitoring, alerting, logging, and runbooks - Automated retries, dead-letter handling (when applicable), and reconciliation steps - Support compliance requirements (SOX/ITGC/data privacy) through strong traceability and documented controls. Testing, Deployment & Support •Create and execute integration test strategies including unit tests, end-to-end tests, and regression plans. - Manage releases across tenants (Sandbox → Implementation → Production) using Workday deployment best practices. - Provide production support, troubleshoot failures, and perform root cause analysis (RCA) with preventive actions. Stakeholder Collaboration •Work closely with HR/Finance, Security, IAM, and downstream application teams to define interface requirements. - Translate business needs into solution architecture and integration specifications. - Provide technical guidance and mentor junior integration developers. Required Qualifications •3–8+ years of Workday integration experience (level adjusted for Engineer vs Lead). - Strong hands-on experience with: oWorkday Orchestration (including event-driven patterns) oWorkday APIs: SOAP and REST - Workday integration tools such as EIB, RaaS, and/or Studio - Solid understanding of: oIntegration patterns (sync/async, pub-sub concepts, event-driven architectures) - Data transformation formats: JSON, XML, XSLT - API testing and debugging tools (e.g., Postman or equivalent) - Experience building reliable error-handling, monitoring, and reconciliation mechanisms. - Robust documentation skills (interface specs, data mappings, runbooks, troubleshooting guides). Preferred Qualifications •Experience with Workday Extend app development and deployment lifecycle. - Experience integrating Workday with IAM/Provisioning solutions (e.g., Azure AD, SailPoint, Okta) using event triggers. - Familiarity with middleware/iPaaS tools (e.g., MuleSoft, Boomi) and hybrid patterns with Workday Orchestration. - Knowledge of Workday security concepts: integration system users, domains, business process security policies. - Exposure to audit/compliance-driven environments (SOX, GDPR, SOC reporting). Key Skills (Technical & Functional) •Workday Orchestration: event triggers, flow design, exception handling, observability •APIs: Workday SOAP services, REST endpoints, authentication patterns, pagination, throttling •Extend: app UX + service integration, orchestration handoffs •Data: JSON/XML, transformations, data mapping, reconciliation •Operations: monitoring, logging, alerting, incident response, RCA •Soft skills: stakeholder management, clear communication, ownership, documentation Typical Deliverables •Integration architecture and interface design documents - API and event trigger specifications - End-to-end orchestration flows and monitoring dashboards - Runbooks, operational procedures, and support playbooks - Test scripts, test results, and deployment plans Apply on Kit Job: kitjob.ca/job/2o7cwz
