About the Role

We are seeking a self-directed, visionary technical leader to serve as a Lead Software Engineer within the DET IT Finance Engineering team. This role sits at the intersection of enterprise finance systems, integration engineering, AI-powered tooling, and cloud platforms. You will set the technical direction for Workday Finance and MuleSoft integration solutions, champion AI adoption across the engineering lifecycle, and bring cloud-native thinking (AWS/GCP) to how we design, operate, and evolve our platforms.

What You'll Be Doing

• Define and govern end-to-end architecture for Workday Financials, Accounting Center, and enterprise integration platforms, setting engineering standards for quality, security, and scalability
• Architect and deliver secure, scalable Workday-MuleSoft integrations across Salesforce, RevRec, Vertex, and banking platforms, driving API-led connectivity best practices and integration reliability
• Lead adoption of AI developer tools (Cursor, Copilot, CodeWhisperer) and automation platforms, embedding AI-assisted practices into the engineering workflow and prototyping agentic AI use cases for finance
• Design and operate cloud-native integration infrastructure on AWS and/or GCP, modernizing legacy patterns with event-driven, serverless, and microservices approaches aligned to cloud governance standards
• Mentor engineers through architecture and code reviews, foster a culture of continuous learning and experimentation, and collaborate cross-functionally to deliver end-to-end solutions at scale

What We're Looking For

Required Qualifications

• 10+ years of enterprise software engineering experience, including experience with Workday Financials / Accounting Center or comparable Oracle/SAP ERP platforms
• Experience working in complex, integration-heavy environments
• Demonstrated technical leadership in architecture and solution design for large-scale enterprise systems
• Expert-level knowledge of Workday technical frameworks: Business Processes, Security, Accounting Center, Prism Analytics, Core Connectors, EIB, Studio, Workday Extend, Orchestrate, BIRT, and Document Transformation
• Hands-on mastery of the MuleSoft Anypoint Platform — Studio, ESB, API Management, CloudHub — and building scalable, secure API-led integrations
• Solid understanding of integration architecture: SOA, event-driven design, API design principles, REST/SOAP web services, and async messaging patterns
• Practical experience with AI developer productivity tools (Cursor, GitHub Copilot, CodeWhisperer) and enthusiasm for embedding AI into the engineering workflow
• Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills, including log analysis (Splunk or similar)
• Excellent written and verbal communication, with the ability to explain complex designs to both technical and business audiences

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, Git, and DevOps practices in large-scale engineering environments
• Experience with Agentforce or LLM/agentic AI tooling in an enterprise context
• Knowledge of SOX compliance, enterprise security, and finance/ERP governance frameworks
• Experience with event-driven architectures using Kafka, Pub/Sub, SQS, or equivalent
• A related technical degree
