You will: Design, build, and maintain scalable Workday integrations (EIB, Core Connectors, Studio, and REST/SOAP APIs) to support HR, Payroll, Finance, and downstream business systems, with an emphasis on reliability, observability, and security. Serve as the primary technical owner for key Workday integration domains (e.g., HCM, Absence, Banking, Time Tracking, Talent, and Security), ensuring integrations are versioned, documented, and aligned with LiveRamp’s enterprise architecture and data governance standards. Partner closely with HR, Payroll, Finance, IT, and external vendors to translate business requirements into technical specifications, sequence diagrams, and test plans, driving clarity on edge cases, SLAs, and operational runbooks. Lead the full integration lifecycle—requirements, design, configuration, development, unit testing, system/UAT support, cutover, and hypercare—for Workday feature releases, bi-annual updates, and project-based enhancements. Implement robust monitoring, alerting, and incident response processes for Workday integrations (including error handling, retries, and data reconciliation), and drive root cause analysis and permanent fixes for production issues. Maintain and optimize data flows between Workday and other enterprise applications (e.g., identity and access management, ATS, compensation, benefits, and data warehouse platforms), ensuring data quality, timeliness, and consistency.

Act as a trusted advisor to HR, FINs, and business stakeholders on Workday data structures, integration constraints, and downstream impacts to reporting, controls, and compliance. Apply AI-assisted development and troubleshooting tools (e.g., code copilots, log analyzers) to speed up integration design, debugging, and documentation while maintaining high quality. Analyze integration telemetry with AI/ML techniques to identify recurring failure patterns, performance bottlenecks, and opportunities for smarter alerting and auto-remediation.
