You will:

• Design, build, and maintain scalable Workday integrations (EIB, Core Connectors, Studio, and REST/SOAP APIs) to support HR, Payroll, Finance, and downstream business systems, with an emphasis on reliability, observability, and security.
• Serve as the primary technical owner for key Workday integration domains (e.g., HCM, Absence, Banking, Time Tracking, Talent, and Security), ensuring integrations are versioned, documented, and aligned with LiveRamp’s enterprise architecture and data governance standards.
• Partner closely with HR, Payroll, Finance, IT, and external vendors to translate business requirements into technical specifications, sequence diagrams, and test plans, driving clarity on edge cases, SLAs, and operational runbooks.
• Lead the full integration lifecycle—requirements, design, configuration, development, unit testing, system/UAT support, cutover, and hypercare—for Workday feature releases, bi-annual updates, and project-based enhancements.
• Implement robust monitoring, alerting, and incident response processes for Workday integrations (including error handling, retries, and data reconciliation), and drive root cause analysis and permanent fixes for production issues.
• Maintain and optimize data flows between Workday and other enterprise applications (e.g., identity and access management, ATS, compensation, benefits, and data warehouse platforms), ensuring data quality, timeliness, and consistency.
• Establish and enforce Workday integration development best practices, including code review standards, naming conventions, configuration management, and re-usable integration patterns.
• Create and maintain high-quality technical documentation (design specs, interface contracts, configuration guides, dependency maps) and provide knowledge transfer to peers, admins, and support teams.
• Proactively identify opportunities to streamline business processes through Workday automation, calculated fields, condition rules, and integration-driven workflows, and build business cases for proposed improvements.
• Track and evaluate new Workday integration features and product roadmap changes, assess potential impact to LiveRamp’s ecosystem, and lead experiments or POCs to validate value and feasibility.
• Define and track key success metrics (e.g., integration uptime, incident volume/MTTR, data defect rate, batch processing times, and audit findings) and regularly report progress to stakeholders.
• Act as a trusted advisor to HR, FINs, and business stakeholders on Workday data structures, integration constraints, and downstream impacts to reporting, controls, and compliance.
• Apply AI-assisted development and troubleshooting tools (e.g., code copilots, log analyzers) to speed up integration design, debugging, and documentation while maintaining high quality.
• Analyze integration telemetry with AI/ML techniques to identify recurring failure patterns, performance bottlenecks, and opportunities for smarter alerting and auto-remediation. Your team will:
• Partner with People Operations, Payroll, Finance, Security, and other Business Applications teams to build and maintain the core HR technology foundation that powers the full LiveRamp employee lifecycle—from hire to retire. The team owns the Workday platform roadmap for integrations and is responsible for ensuring data flows are accurate, compliant, and resilient across our global systems landscape.
• You will join a small, highly-collaborative group of Workday and SaaS application experts who:
• Lead key cross-functional initiatives such as new country/entity rollouts, M&A onboarding, org restructuring, and global HR process standardization, ensuring Workday integrations are ready to support business change.
• Provide level 2/3 application and integration support, working closely with our internal help desk and operations teams to triage issues, resolve incidents, and continuously improve the stability and usability of our FIN & HR technology stack.
• Maintain strong partnerships with vendors and implementation partners, coordinating technical work, managing release impacts, and ensuring external integrations adhere to LiveRamp’s security and privacy requirements.
• Continuously refine our operating model, development standards, and delivery practices (Agile/iterative) so the team can ship high-quality changes quickly while protecting a mission-critical production environment.
• Introduce and standardize AI-enabled practices (log summarization, impact analysis, test generation) that make it easier for the broader team to operate and evolve complex integrations.
• Partner with security, data, and platform teams to safely adopt AI capabilities that improve observability, resilience, and developer productivity in the Workday integrations space. About you:
• 3+ years of hands-on experience designing, building, and supporting Workday integrations in a production environment, using tools such as EIB, Core Connectors, Workday Studio, and Workday Web Services/REST APIs.
• Demonstrated experience owning end-to-end integration flows across at least two domains (e.g., HCM, Payroll, Benefits, Security, or Financials), including requirements, design, build, testing, deployment, and ongoing support.
• You are deeply curious about how systems, data, and business processes fit together, and you naturally dig into payloads, mappings, and logs rather than treating integrations as black boxes.
• You are hungry to learn and a true lifelong learner—you actively seek out new Workday integration features, patterns, and best practices, and you enjoy sharing what you learn with others.
• You are a go-getter who takes ownership of integrations end-to-end, follows through on commitments, and is comfortable driving work forward without needing constant direction.
• You are an experimenter who prototypes, tests, and iterates; you’re comfortable trying new integration patterns or tooling, measuring outcomes, and quickly adjusting based on what you learn.
• You are
