About the Team

Are you passionate about keeping millions of customers' data safe? Workday's Platform Reliability Engineering team is dedicated to provide a resilient infrastructure for our Data Security & Privacy and Identity and Access Management (IAM) products for Workday. We are working on one of the top priorities for Workday with a strong customer demand.
In Security Products we're using the latest technologies to build platforms and services to support our growth while also ensuring the protection of Workday data and infrastructure is paramount. As a part of this team, you will help build and support enterprise grade security tools and services for the Security Products initiatives.

About the Role

Also this role will require the operation and maintenance of our critical production system as well as building massively scalable digital security systems as part of that is core to all Workday services.

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.

Pursuant to applicable Fair Chance law, Workday will consider for employment qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records.
