About Salesforce
Salesforce is the #1 AI CRM, where humans with agents drive customer success together. Here, ambition meets action. Tech meets trust. And innovation isn't a buzzword - it's a way of life. The world of work as we know it is changing and we're looking for Trailblazers who are passionate about bettering business and the world through AI, driving innovation, and keeping Salesforce's core values at the heart of it all.
Ready to level-up your career at the company leading workforce transformation in the agentic era? You're in the right place! Agentforce is the future of AI, and you are the future of Salesforce.
About the Role
As a Member of Technical Staff (MTS) on the Information Technology Employee Success team, you will design, develop, and architect next-generation Workday integrations that power payroll, HR, and financial operations for a global workforce of 80,000+ employees.
We are looking for a forward-thinking engineer who doesn't just build traditional pipelines, but leverages AI-assisted development to accelerate delivery and uses modern Workday Extend and Orchestration frameworks to bridge our HR ecosystem with complex, global 3rd-party payroll providers.
What You'll Do
- Next-Gen Engineering: Design and build high-scale integrations and custom apps using Workday Studio, Workday Extend, Orchestrations, Global Payroll Cloud (GPC), and Digital Document Delivery (DDOD) to support global HCM operations.
- AI-Accelerated Development: Integrate AI fundamentals into your daily workflow-utilizing tools like Claude Code, Cursor, or OpenAI Codex to write cleaner integration logic, automate unit testing, and dramatically speed up code reviews.
- 3rd-Party Payroll Ecosystems: Drive engineering efforts for global 3rd-party payroll connectors, ensuring seamless, bi-directional data flow with external vendors like ADP GlobalView, CloudPay, and regional providers.
- Lifecycle Ownership: Lead end-to-end delivery of complex projects-from scoping and development through automated QA, UAT, global cutover, and hypercare support.
- Intelligent Automation: Eliminate manual overhead by automating compliance data streams (e.g., India Form 11) and equity integrations (ETRADE RSU records, Dividend automation).
- System Reliability: Own production stability-monitor integration health, perform root-cause analysis, and resolve high-priority incidents with modern observability practices.
- Continuous Evolution: Execute payroll release readiness using automated tools like Kainos for regression testing across Workday's continuous release cycles.
What We're Looking For
- Experience: 3-5 years of professional software engineering or advanced Workday integration experience.
- Modern Workday Stack: Hands-on experience with Workday Extend, Orchestrations, GPC, and DDOD.
- 3rd-Party Payroll Mastery: Deep understanding of integrating Workday with external, 3rd-party payroll systems and a solid grasp of functional payroll concepts across global regions (US, UK, India, EMEA, APAC).
- AI Aptitude: Familiarity with AI-assisted coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot) to optimize development velocity and troubleshoot complex XML/XSLT transformations.
- Agile Mindset: Comfortable in fast-paced Agile/Scrum environments; Scrum Lead experience is a definite plus.
- Communication: Stellar cross-functional skills-equally comfortable talking architecture with engineers or strategy with global Payroll business partners.
- Certifications: Workday Pro Integrations, Workday Extend, or Payroll certifications are highly desirable.
Nice to Have
- Experience building full-stack custom apps natively within the Workday Extend framework.
- Familiarity with enterprise middleware like MuleSoft or Boomi.
- Knowledge of global compliance frameworks, ESPP, RSUs, and equity platforms (ETRADE, Equity Edge).

Recruiting, hiring, and promotion decisions at Salesforce are fair and based on merit. The same goes for compensation, benefits, promotions, transfers, reduction in workforce, recall, training, and education.
In the United States, compensation offered will be determined by factors such as location, job level, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
