About The Team

The Demand Capacity org is responsible for some of Workday's core service orchestration technologies, which are deployed in Workday's data center and public cloud environments. We provide orchestration solutions for other Workday development and operations teams, allowing us to reach the next level of scale.

Within this team, we are responsible for Workday's optimized job processing platform, which performs some of the largest customer jobs in Workday. We are a core part of the Workday stack, working with concurrent and distributed systems to provide this background job processing platform for our internal and external customers.

Our platform performs critical processing and has a key role in the scalability of Workday's platform. Our team is constantly innovating and evolving to build the next generation of critical Workday services.

About The Role

You will be responsible for designing, developing, troubleshooting and debugging scalable components, microservices and libraries using our technology stack, in a highly distributed environment. Among other technologies, we frequently use Scala, Akka, Gradle, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins, Kafka, and ZooKeeper.

The role will involve designing, developing and deploying critical production services, including working on highly concurrent transaction processing, distributed memory management, communication protocols, and algorithms for distributed processing.

About You
Basic Qualifications
  • 9+ years of software engineering experience
  • 7+ years of distributed systems engineering experience in production, using Scala, or advanced Java/functional programming
  • Experience as a technical leader in a team responsible for customer-facing / production services
  • Experience with distributed, concurrent, high-performance systems
Other Qualifications
  • Test focused with good TDD / Unit & System Testing, debugging and profiling skills
  • Excellent code review skills and capacity to both provide and act on constructive feedback
  • Strong collaboration, communication and leadership skills
  • A passion for developing distributed systems and delivering them at scale, while planning for future growth
  • Ability to craft and develop enterprise solutions to a very high standard
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.
