• Leverage AI-powered development tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor) and research new AI-assisted workflows for the team.

• Automate routine engineering tasks by using AI tools and platforms, enabling more efficient research, coding, and problem-solving across daily work.

• Propose technical solutions and contribute to engineering best practices.

• Other duties which are assigned by the Employer or authorized person of the Employer.

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.

At Workday, we are committed to providing an accessible and inclusive hiring experience where all candidates can fully demonstrate their skills. If you require assistance or an accommodation at any point, please email accommodations@workday.com.
