      Your work days are brighter here.

      At Workday, it all began with a conversation over breakfast. When our founders met at a sunny California diner, they came up with an idea to revolutionize the enterprise software market. And when we began to rise, one thing that really set us apart was our culture. A culture which was driven by our value of putting our people first. And ever since, the happiness, development, and contribution of every Workmate is central to who we are. Our Workmates believe a healthy employee-centric, collaborative culture is the essential mix of ingredients for success in business. That’s why we look after our people, communities and the planet while still being profitable. Feel encouraged to shine, however that manifests: you don’t need to hide who you are. You can feel the energy and the passion, it's what makes us unique. Inspired to make a brighter work day for all and transform with us to the next stage of our growth journey? Bring your brightest version of you and have a brighter work day here.

      About the Team

      The Tenant Lifecycle Engineering Public Cloud team focuses on supporting Workday development teams to effectively deploy and run across our global public cloud fleet. We partner with service teams from architecture design through to deployment, and we help ensure their services remain healthy and robust in production. As Workday’s development and production environments continue to modernise, we play a key part in that evolution. This opportunity is also our biggest challenge as we scale our team to serve ever growing demand. It is also why we are once again hiring.

      We are a group of technology professionals who are proud of the role we play in preserving the integrity of the Workday stack! We lean on the collaboration, agile & SRE best practices. and place great value in our internal partnerships. That being said, we are also not afraid to challenge if ever we ever perceive a risk to production stability.

      Team health and achieving a productive and sustainable culture is just as important to us, and so we aim to strike the right balance of continuous improvement without changing just for the sake of change. Our team is a diverse group of people passionate about scalably supporting both the technology and teams that deliver systems used by millions of people.

      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.

      Workday is an Equal Opportunity Employer including individuals with disabilities and protected veterans.
