Deep background in event-driven architectures, asynchronous data streaming, and low-latency messaging patterns required to support continuous, real-time agentic workflows at enterprise scale. * Headless & API-First Platform Design: Demonstrated expertise in building headless developer toolchains, SDK generation pipelines, CLI and MCP tools, and federated API architectures designed for developer adoption. * Large-Scale Architectural Evolution: Proven background in steering engineering teams through high-impact technical evolution and associated operational transformations. * Strategic Business Acumen & Decision-Making: Demonstrated ability to evaluate complex technical choices through a business lens, balancing long-term architectural purity with time-to-market, revenue generation, operational costs, and measurable customer business outcomes. * Platform Security & Protection Guardrails: Deep expertise in API security, multi-tenant isolation, fine-grained authorization (RBAC/ABAC), policy-as-code frameworks, and runtime guardrail designs required to safely expose enterprise data, business context, and AI primitives through open developer toolchains and third-party integrations while maintaining high system availability. * Advocacy & Industry Influence: Strong history of technical ambassadorship, including engaging with executive customer stakeholders, contributing to ecosystems, and speaking at major industry conferences. ## Description As a core member of the Developer Platform leadership team, the Distinguished Architect serves as the primary technical authority across the platform. Operating at the highest strategic level, you will guide the transition of Workday's developer platform into open infrastructure purpose-built for high-throughput autonomous AI system creation. Beyond driving the core technical roadmap, you will elevate internal software practices, nurture senior technical talent, and serve as an advisor to the Chief Architect, strategic clients, and industry partners. Collaborating directly across product and R&D organizations, you will translate broad platform goals into practical engineering plans and advise leadership on complex tradeoffs, while guaranteeing a frictionless experience for anyone who wants to build the future of work on Workday., Technical Strategy & Vision * Drive Platform Evolution: Spearhead the architectural transformation from a specialized low-code application framework into an open, headless AI developer toolchain, evolving our developer services to generate the API primitives, SDKs, and developer experiences required to build enterprise agentic applications. * Architect Enterprise AI Primitives: Define the target-state architecture for exposing Workday's unique business context, enterprise data models, securely to third-party developers and autonomous AI agents. * Define Open Platform Infrastructure Standards: Establish long-term technical roadmaps, eventing models, and multi-tenant integration patterns that ensure high availability, ultra-low latency, and robust enterprise guardrails for an open ecosystem. Technical Authority & Strategic Influence * Serve as Apex Technical Authority: Act as the primary technical expert for Workday's developer ecosystem, advising executive leadership and R&D on complex distributed systems challenges, high-impact technical tradeoffs, and platform scalability. * Champion Developer Community & Customers: Represent Workday's developer platform vision as a technical ambassador to executive customer leadership, strategic platform partners, and the broader developer community. * Cultivate Engineering Excellence: Mentor and grow architects and senior engineering talent across the organization, establishing rigorous architecture design reviews, development standards, and a culture of continuous, customer-first innovation. Cross-Functional Leadership * Unify Product & R&D Alignment: Partner closely with GM, Product, and Engineering to convert high-level platform vision into clear architectural blueprints, execution plans, and phased engineering roadmaps. * Drive Technical Partnerships: Spearhead joint architectural initiatives with strategic ecosystem partners, ensuring platform primitives integrate seamlessly into third-party enterprise stacks. * Steer Cross-Platform Integration: Lead architecture alignment across adjacent Workday platform teams to ensure seamless interoperability across the stack. Partner with and advise Chief Architect on concerns related to Developer Platform.
