About the Team

As Workday accelerates its strategic evolution toward a consumption-based pricing model, the Platform Consumption Console (PCC) team is building the critical infrastructure to make it happen. We are the central nervous system for usage data across the enterprise. By engineering seamless data ingestion pipelines, pinpoint-accurate billing calculations, and transparent customer-facing controls, PCC empowers Workday to confidently launch flexible, usage-based products-like Workday Agents-that will drive the next generation of our global business growth.

About the Role

As a Data Scientist, you'll lead cross-functional data science efforts to understand business requirements and design, build, and implement innovative solutions that enhance statistical modeling, measure value delivery and inform product decisions.

The bulk of the work will be in machine learning (ML) modeling, management and problem analysis, data exploration and preparation, data collection and integration and operationalization.

Ground-Floor Enterprise Impact: You are joining at a pivotal inflection point. PCC is rapidly transitioning from a localized billing tool into a core piece of Workday's enterprise infrastructure. The work you do here will directly shape how Workday monetizes its products for years to come.

Massive Technical Scale: This is not a maintenance role. You will tackle complex, high-stakes engineering and product challenges-from orchestrating the ingestion of massive daily usage metrics and ensuring zero-defect financial ledgers, to building intuitive, high-visibility dashboards for our enterprise customers.

A "Startup Within a Giant" Culture: We are transitioning to a highly focused, domain-driven platform model. For builders who want to define strategy, establish new technical standards, and see the immediate impact of their work, this is the place to be.

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.
