Job Summary
We are seeking an experienced Workday Extend Developer to design, build, and deploy custom web applications and business extensions directly within the native Workday cloud platform. The ideal candidate will leverage Workday Extend capabilities to create unique user interfaces, build custom database objects, orchestrate data pipelines, and address unique business scenarios without relying on siloed third-party software applications.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop high-performance custom applications using the Workday Extend framework, Page Builder, and the App Components library.

• Orchestrate advanced orchestration lines, defining system workflows, task triggers, error-handling exception loops, and automated background data processing tasks.
  
• Expose and consume programmatic endpoints, constructing custom data serialization loops using Workday REST APIs, external APIs, and the WQL (Workday Query Language) framework.
  
• Configure custom security permissions, establishing secure application execution rules, identity authorization loops, and structural access controls in alignment with domain security governance.
  
• Perform database optimization code remediation, auditing application telemetry, tracking system processing latencies, and fixing interface components to ensure optimal page rendering.
  
• Lead update regression validations for semi-annual platform releases, checking custom application code paths across developer sandboxes to prevent operational disruption.
  

Requirements

• 4 to 8 years of core enterprise application engineering or full-stack web development experience, with 2+ dedicated years actively designing, building, and maintaining custom apps explicitly on the Workday Extend framework.
  
• Strong technical mastery of JavaScript (ES6+), JSON schemas, RESTful API structures, and structural data query tools (WQL).
  
• Deep structural understanding of the Workday presentation layer architecture, object relationship conventions, security model boundaries, and development lifecycles.
  
• Mandatory certification: Workday Certified Extend Developer.
  

Preferred Qualifications

• Workday Certified Integration Studio or Workday Certified Core HCM certification.
  
• Prior experience implementing Model Context Protocol (MCP) or connecting custom Extend app layouts with real-time enterprise generative AI services.
