About the Team

The Pipedream team is on a mission to arm AI Agents with connectors to third-party applications and APIs, unlocking tremendous value for Workday and its customers. We are the bridge between Workday's intelligent platform and the broader ecosystem of tools and services that businesses rely on every day.
Newly brought into the Workday platform, Pipedream offers something rare: the opportunity to work in a startup environment while delivering enterprise-scale impact. Our work powers integrations for both internal Workday services and external customers such as Perplexity and Meta. If you enjoy moving fast, wearing multiple hats, and seeing your work directly shape a product's direction, this is a team where you can do exactly that.

About the Role

As a Software Engineer on the Pipedream team, you will help expand the core capabilities of Pipedream Connect and its growing catalog of connectors to meet the ever-evolving needs of our customers. You will work across a diverse and modern technology stack - including Go, Node.js, Rust, Rails, Kotlin, SQL, Redis, and Kubernetes - and have the opportunity to continuously pick up and learn new technologies along the way.

Examples of the types of projects you will work on include:

• Progressive and dynamic auth scopes to provide least-privilege connections for Pipedream Connect use cases

• Service-level account connections for enterprise management use cases

• Document management, normalization, and authorization capabilities across multiple third-party platforms

Our Approach to Flexible Work

With Flex Work, we're combining the best of both worlds: in-person time and remote. Our approach enables our teams to deepen connections, maintain a strong community, and do their best work. We know that flexibility can take shape in many ways, so rather than a number of required days in-office each week, we simply spend at least half (50%) of our time each quarter in the office or in the field with our customers, prospects, and partners (depending on role). This means you'll have the freedom to create a flexible schedule that caters to your business, team, and personal needs, while being intentional to make the most of time spent together. Those in our remote "home office" roles also have the opportunity to come together in our offices for important moments that matter.
