About the Role
We're seeking a strategic L5 Software Engineer for our Talent Tech Engineering team, primarily focused on Data Architecture & Integrations. You'll drive the design, development, and governance of data integrations across our HR systems ecosystem, with emphasis on scalable, secure, and future-proof solutions. You'll set integration standards, collaborate with engineering partners, and shape our API marketplace using Netflix's paved road technologies.
Your core work involves architecting and implementing integrations between Workday, data warehouses, data lakes, and enterprise systems, leveraging workflow orchestration tools. You'll build robust, reusable, well-governed data pipelines and APIs ensuring HR data is accessible, reliable, and secure.
