About the Team
The Core Platform Integration Team is a new centralized team within Workday’s Core Services organization that sits at the intersection of Workday's IPE (Infrastructure Platform Engineering) organization and our acquired companies. Workday has acquired several companies in the last couple of years that run multiple services across cloud service providers AWS and GCP with their own infrastructure patterns, CI/CD pipelines, and operational practices.
Our charter is to bring these companies onto CP2, Workday's cloud-agnostic "paved road" platform, so that 100% of services can run on any CSP. That means migrating workloads off CSP lock-in services (managed databases, proprietary queues, vendor-specific identity, etc.) and onto standardized CP2 building blocks for compute, networking, observability, CI/CD, and security.
This is a small, high-leverage team working directly with acquisition engineering leads, IPE platform owners, and Workday SREs. We operate in the open, driving architecture review boards, building migration scorecards, sizing onboarding effort, and producing the roadmap that shapes both what the IPE platform must build and what acquired teams must refactor. The work is technical, cross-organizational, and high-impact.
About the Role
As a Senior Software Engineer on this team, you'll be one of the hands-on technical engineers working closely with acquired company engineering teams to plan, implement, and execute their migration to CP2. You'll own the technical delta analysis for assigned acquisitions, design the migration approach, and write the code, IaC, and automation that gets services moved.
About You
You're a senior engineer who has done cloud migration work before, not just designed it on a whiteboard. You've moved real services between clouds or onto an internal platform, hit the messy parts (stateful data, IAM rewiring, DNS, secrets, certificate pinning, undocumented dependencies), and shipped the migration to completion.

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.
