Job Description
About the Role:
Senior Engineer serves as the technical lead for Workforce Management (WFM) and Payroll integrations, defining solution architecture and guiding configuration and integration strategy. The role ensures secure, scalable, and compliant capabilities across global regions while partnering closely with HR, Finance, Payroll, and Technology teams to deliver sustainable, cost effective solutions. This position also collaborates with the HR/Payroll product team to design effective and scalable system enhancements.
About the Team:
You’ll be part of a highly collaborative, globally focused HR Technology team that owns Workforce Management (WFM) and Payroll solutions at scale. This team serves as the backbone for Time Tracking, Absence Management, and Payroll integrations, partnering closely with HR, Finance, Payroll, and Technology to deliver secure, compliant, and efficient solutions across multiple regions.
The group operates with a strong architecture-first mindset—designing scalable integrations, driving data quality, and ensuring systems align with complex regulatory and business requirements. Team members play a key role in shaping the future state of Workday capabilities, leading initiatives across integrations, releases, and system enhancements.
Responsibilities of the Role:
Serve as the domain lead for Workday Time Tracking, Absence Management, and Payroll integrations.
Act as the primary technical lead for HR/Payroll, third‑party vendors, and implementation partners.
Define target‑state architecture, integration patterns (Core Connectors, EIB, Studio, Extend), and security models aligned to least‑privilege principles.
Govern PECI and all outbound payroll integrations (e.g., ADP, CloudPay, Alight, NGA, local in‑country vendors).
Design & Delivery
Translate complex pay rules and region‑specific labor requirements into Workday configuration (time codes, accruals, eligibility rules, time calculations).
Perform gap analyses and author functional/technical specifications for new or enhanced business processes.
Maintain documentation for system functionality and cross‑functional processes while defining configuration standards, development conventions, and operational playbooks for releases and incident management.
Lead biannual Workday release impact assessments, regression strategies, and feature adoption planning for Workday Time Tracking, Absence Management, and Payroll integrations.
Integrations & Data Quality
Design robust PECI frameworks including effective‑dated logic, retroactivity, error handling, and reconciliation processes.
Establish data quality rules and exception handling across HR, WFM, and Payroll ecosystems.
Partner with Data & Analytics to deliver audit‑ready reporting using Workday Report Writer, Calculated Fields, Integrations, and Prism.
Compliance & Controls
Ensure solution designs comply with FLSA, local labor laws, union CBAs, and global privacy/security standards (GDPR, SOC, SOX as applicable).
Implement controls for segregation of duties, approvals, retro events, and adjustments.
Maintain audit documentation, test evidence, and control artifacts.
Requirements of the Role:
5–7+ years of Workday experience with strong expertise in Time Tracking, Absence Management, and multi‑country Payroll PECI design.
Hands‑on experience with EIB, Core Connectors, Studio, Calculated Fields, and Workday Security.
Experience with Workday Reporting for the time-tracking, absence and payroll functional areas, and Report‑as‑a‑Service patterns.
Deep knowledge of effective‑dated HR data, retro pay impacts, time valuation, accruals, and eligibility logic.
Experience with release management, tenant lifecycle governance, and regression testing.
Strong documentation skills, including solution designs, data mappings, and workflow diagrams.
Preferred Qualifications:
Workday Pro or Partner certifications in Time, Absence, or Integrations (nice to have).
Payroll expertise across US FLSA, Canadian provincial rules, and EU working time directives.
Background in SOX/internal controls and audit readiness.
Core Competencies:
Architectural Thinking: Designs sustainable, scalable, efficient, and cost‑effective solutions.
Systems Integration: Builds resilient, observable integrations with clear error handling.
Product Mindset: Delivers solutions focused on value, usability, and maintainability.
Governance & Risk: Embeds compliance and controls into solution designs.
