This team focuses on evolving the API surface and supporting mission-critical product flows used by Product Engineering for agentic AI use cases. We partner closely with internal Workday teams to design APIs and patterns that are consistent, reliable, scalable, and easy to consume. You will help shape the API foundation, architecture, and operating model that makes it easy for Product Engineering to build agent-ready, high-quality APIs.

You will shape API design, drive performance and observability improvements, and coach and grow future senior engineers across the team. You will: • Lead design and implementation of APIs, backend services, and platform features used by Product Engineering teams. • Champion consistent API standards, object modeling practices, design patterns, and tooling that align with cross-org guidance while solving concrete product needs. • Help Product Engineering teams expose product capabilities via REST, GraphQL, SOAP, and emerging integration patterns in a way that is friendly to agents, internal teams, and external consumers. • Translate end-to-end product functionality into clear service boundaries, domain models, and well-designed API endpoints. • Contribute to large-scale systems that require high availability, performance, extensibility, observability, and operational excellence.
