You will have the opportunity to work with cutting-edge technologies, solve complicated problems, and contribute to the foundation of our infrastructure. This role requires a strong technical background, a passion for automation, and a collaborative mindset.
As a Security Engineer, you will be responsible for building, deploying/operating security tooling, developing security standards and implementing technical controls in support of the platforms and infrastructure used in Workday.
This role involves collaborating with teams across multiple locations and time zones. You will need to be adept at communicating optimally and building positive relationships with colleagues in diverse locations.
About the Role
May be required to be on site at client locations in the DC, MD, and VA (DMV) area.
You have a growth mindset and will be part of a team promoting a diverse and inclusive environment where you and your workmates are happy, energized and engaged, and who are excited to come to work every day.

Collaborate effectively with other engineers and development teams across multiple locations and time zones.
Stay up-to-date with the latest technologies and trends in the platform engineering space.

A minimum of 5 years of hands-on experience working with large scale cloud infrastructure, DevOps, Security, and software development engineering skills.
Bachelor's degree in a computer related field or equivalent work experience
Other Qualifications:

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.
Pursuant to applicable Fair Chance law, Workday will consider for employment qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records.
Workday is an Equal Opportunity Employer including individuals with disabilities and protected veterans.
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 [email protected] .
Are you being referred to one of our roles? If so, ask your connection at Workday about our Employee Referral process!
At Workday, we value our candidates’ privacy and data security. Workday will never ask candidates to apply to jobs through websites that are not Workday Careers.
Please be aware of sites that may ask for you to input your data in connection with a job posting that appears to be from Workday but is not.
In addition, Workday will never ask candidates to pay a recruiting fee, or pay for consulting or coaching services, in order to apply for a job at Workday.
