Workday Extend Developer

Workday Extend Developer1 **Key Responsibilities** **Application Development & Architecture**  * ****Custom App Design:** Design and build end-to-end custom applications using **Workday App Builder**. Define app components including Pages, Business Objects, and Security domains.** * ****Logic & Orchestration:** Develop complex **Orchestrations** (server-side logic) to handle business rules, ensuring data integrity and proper workflow execution (e.g., "If user clicks X, call external API Y, then update Workday Record Z").** * ****API Integration:** Create robust integrations within Extend apps that consume **REST/SOAP APIs** from third-party vendors (e.g., integrating a badge scanning system, vaccination database, or external rewards platform directly into Workday).** * ****Data Modeling:** Architect custom **Business Objects** inside Workday to store unique data fields that do not exist in the standard Workday data model.** * ****UX/UI Design:** Design intuitive user interfaces using Workday’s **Canvas Design System** to ensure custom apps look and feel exactly like native Workday functionality.** **L2 Support & Operational Management** * ****App Maintenance & Monitoring:** Monitor the health of deployed Extend apps using the Developer Site console. Troubleshoot runtime errors in Orchestrations or API failures (e.g., resolving "400 Bad Request" errors from external endpoints).** * ****Version Management:** Perform impact analysis and code updates when Workday deprecates underlying APIs. Ensure custom apps are updated to the latest API versions (e.g., v39 to v40) to prevent breakage during bi-annual releases.** * ****Security Governance:** Manage **Security Groups** and **Domains** specific to Extend Apps. Investigate "Access Denied" tickets where users cannot see specific custom pages or data elements.** * ****Performance Tuning:** Optimize slow-loading apps by refining **WQL (Workday Query Language)** queries and reducing excessive API calls.** * ****CI/CD & Promotion:** Manage the lifecycle of moving apps from Sandbox to Production, ensuring proper version control and testing evidence is documented.** **Qualifications** **Mandatory Education & Certifications** * ****Workday Certification:** Active **Workday Extend** certification is strictly required.** * ****Additional Certifications:** Workday Integrations Core or Workday Studio certifications are highly preferred.** * ****Education:** Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related technical field.** **Required Experience** * ****Workday Experience:** 3+ years of technical Workday experience (Integrations or Extend).** * ****Programming Proficiency:** Proven experience with standard web development concepts: **JSON**, **REST APIs**, **JavaScript**, or **Python**. (Note: This role requires actual coding logic, not just configuration).** * ****Data Skills:** Proficiency in **WQL (Workday Query Language)** and relational database concepts.** * ****Security Standards:** Understanding of OAuth 2.0, ISUs (Integration System Users), and ISSGs (Integration System Security Groups).** **Preferred Skills** * **Experience with serverless computing (e.g., **AWS Lambda**, **Azure Functions**) used in conjunction with Workday Extend.** * **Knowledge of **Workday Prism Analytics** (using Prism datasets as a high-volume backend for Extend apps).** **This Job Description is tailored for a **UiPath RPA Developer**.** **This role requires a blend of **technical coding skills** (.NET/C#), **process logic** (flowcharting/diagramming), and **operational management** (Orchestrator). I have structured this to include both the "Build" (Development) and "Run" (Support) aspects.**
