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 Agent Measurement & Forecasting (AMF) team builds Workday's single source of truth for how the company measures and forecasts AI agent performance. We own the data pipeline, metric governance, and semantic layer that turn raw agent telemetry into consistent, auditable metrics used across Agents. Our stack runs on dbt, Apache Iceberg, and MetricsFlow, backed by CI/CD schema enforcement, so every metric we publish carries the same rigor as production code. As Workday scales via a broader agentic transformation, the metrics AMF governs are what let the company trust, and act on, how its agents are performing.\nAbout the Role\nAs a Software Engineer, you will work towards technical design and execution for core components of AMF's metrics platform. You'll build and operate the pipeline that lands agent telemetry into Iceberg via dbt, enforce schema contracts through CI/CD gates, and extend the MetricsFlow semantic layer that serves governed metrics to the Product Data Store and downstream consumers. This is a hands-on role: you'll work on multi-tenant data isolation, low-latency query performance for metric serving, and the migration path from today's per-tier governance model. You will drive engineering excellence within the team and act as a domain expert for pipeline design, schema governance, and semantic-layer serving.\nAbout You\nBasic Qualifications\n5+ years experience in software development engineering including designing, developing, and deploying software solutions\n3+ years experience in software development engineering, with production-level experience in: Python and SQL\nBachelor’s degree in a relevant field such as Computer Science, Engineering, or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience\nOther Qualifications\nSolid experience with dbt, Apache Iceberg, and semantic-layer tooling (e.g., MetricsFlow, dbt Semantic Layer, Cube) for governed metric definition and serving\nStrong understanding of data governance and schema contract enforcement, including CI/CD schema gates and automated data quality checks\nExperience with large-scale data processing frameworks such as Spark, Flink, or Kafka within complex distributed architectures\nPractical experience with API development (gRPC, REST) for serving metrics and data products to downstream consumers\nUnderstanding of multi-tenant data isolation and security principles, including data encryption and tenant-scoped authorization, relevant to governing tenanted (Tier 0) vs. non-tenanted (Tier 1) data\nStrong grasp of distributed systems principles: data partitioning, eventual consistency, and fault tolerance\nSolid understanding of Object-Oriented Design (OOD) principles and architectural patterns for scalable, maintainable data systems\nExperience with source control management (Git, GitHub/Bitbucket) and collaborative distributed development workflows\nProven ability to collaborate across distributed teams and contribute constructively to architectural discussions and system design\nStrong technical writing skills for design specs, data contracts, and API documentation\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.
