As a Fortune 500 company and a leading AI platform for managing people, money, and agents, we’re shaping the future of work so teams can reach their potential and focus on what matters most. The minute you join, you’ll feel it. Not just in the products we build, but in how we show up for each other. Our culture is rooted in integrity, empathy, and shared enthusiasm. We’re in this together, tackling big challenges with bold ideas and genuine care. We look for curious minds and courageous collaborators who bring sun-drenched optimism and drive. Whether you're building smarter solutions, supporting customers, or creating a space where everyone belongs, you’ll do meaningful work with Workmates who’ve got your back. In return, we’ll give you the trust to take risks, the tools to grow, the skills to develop and the support of a company invested in you for the long haul. So, if you want to inspire a brighter work day for everyone, including yourself, you’ve found a match in Workday, and we hope to be a match for you too.\nAbout the Team\nThe Enterprise Identity team serves as Workday's first and most critical line of defense. We own, build, and evolve the Identity and Access Management (IAM) systems that govern exactly who gets access to internal resources, what they can do with that access, and why.\nOperating across one of the most complex enterprise cloud environments in the software industry, our technical scope spans human, non-human, and multi-cloud identity systems. From implementing practical Zero Trust controls and conditional access policies, to engineering automated workflows for seamless onboarding, role transitions, and offboarding across the company, this team is at the forefront of how Workday secures its digital ecosystem.\nWe are also tackling challenges on the AI and agentic frontier, securing autonomous AI agents, non-human identities (NHIs), and service-to-service trust models in production. Our work in privileged access governance focuses on hardening system access, reducing long-lived elevated privileges, and driving the transition toward right-sized entitlements and least-privilege models.\nAt Workday, identity is not a back-office IT support function-it is a core security boundary and engineering enabler. The Enterprise Identity team directly influences how safely Workday builds and ships products, acting as a crucial pillar in protecting the vital data and infrastructure of over 60 million users. If you are energized by meaningful security challenges with real organizational impact, this is the team for you!\nAbout the Role\nWe are looking for a skilled Mid-Level IAM Engineer to join our Enterprise Identity team. You will be responsible for the day-to-day configuration, maintenance, and optimization of our identity tools. This role is perfect for a core builder who loves solving technical integration challenges, automating repetitive tasks, and ensuring our employees and systems have the right access at the right time.\nResponsibilities:\nSystem Integration: Configure, integrate, and maintain connections between our core identity provider (IdP) and various SaaS applications, internal systems, and APIs.\n\nLifecycle Management: Implement and troubleshoot automated user lifecycle workflows (joiner, mover, leaver) to ensure seamless and secure access transitions.\n\nOperational Support: Act as the initial contact point for identity and access issues in EU Sovereign Cloud, resolving tier-one directory synchronization or authentication failures. Perform regular vulnerability management updates across cloud environments.\n\nDirectory Management: Administer and maintain LDAP, Ory Hydra, and HR-driven identity data feeds.\n\nProcess Automation: Write and maintain scripts to automate routine identity tasks, such as generating access reports or cleaning up orphaned accounts.\n\nDocumentation: Create and maintain clear technical documentation, architectural diagrams, and standard operating procedures (SOPs) for the IAM ecosystem.\n\nAbout You\nBasic Qualifications\nExperience: 3-5 years of experience in IT or Security, with 2+ years of direct experience administering and configuring IAM solutions.\n\nIdentity Platforms: Solid experience working with tools like Okta or Microsoft Entra ID, LDAP, Active Directory, Ory Hydra.\n\nProtocols: Practical understanding of authentication and authorization standards (SAML, OAuth, OIDC, and REST APIs).\n\nScripting: Competency in at least one scripting language (GoLang or Python preferred) for API integration and data manipulation.\n\nSoft Skills: Strong analytical problem-solving skills and the ability to explain complex technical access issues to non-technical stakeholders.\n\nCertifications: Security+, Okta Certified Administrator, or Microsoft Certified: Identity and Access Administrator Associate are a plus, along with AWS Cloud Practitioner.\n\nEducation: Bachelor’s degree in a relevant discipline such as Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Information Security, or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.\n\nOther Qualifications\nGood understanding of Information Security principles and best practices, including zero standing privileges.\n\nProficiency in one or more Programming Languages such as Python used for security automation, analysis, or tool development.\n\nWorking knowledge of Public Clouds like AWS/GCP and implementing security measures within those environments.\n\nUnderstanding of Security by Design principles and the ability to contribute to secure design and conduct security reviews.\n\nWorkday Pay Transparency Statement (For EU Locations Only)\nListed below is the base salary range applicable to this position. Workday pay ranges (and the precise pay offered to the successful candidate) are based on a number of objective criteria such as relevant experience and skills, and educational qualifications, level of responsibility, demands of the role, work location and business need. As a part of the total compensation package, this role may be eligible for the Workday Bonus Plan or a role-specific commission/bonus, as well as annual refresh stock grants awarded by Workday Inc.

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.\nPursuant to applicable Fair Chance law, Workday will consider for employment qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records.\nWorkday is an Equal Opportunity Employer including individuals with disabilities and protected veterans.\nWorkday is committed to providing reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals during our application process, in order to perform one or more essential functions of their job, as well as regarding the use of AI tools for employment decision-making to any degree.
