About the role

Your work days are brighter here. We’re obsessed with making hard work pay off, for our people, our customers, and the world around us. 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. About the Team Security Automation & Integration Engineering (SecAIE) transforms cybersecurity operations by architecting intelligent automation that turns manual processes into scalable, decision-accelerating systems. We're the engineering excellence partner within Cybersecurity and Trust - building the unified data foundation, intelligent automation, and decision support tools that enable security teams to make precise, data-driven decisions at machine speed. We partner closely with Security Leadership, Operational Teams, Engineering Teams, and Governance/Risk Teams to deliver platforms that multiply their effectiveness. Our current charter contributes directly to Workday's Active Defense pivot - building the reliable data and platform substrate that lets security teams execute at machine speed and out-adapt AI-driven threats. We're a small, high-impact team that values curiosity, pragmatism, and collaboration. We believe working solutions beat perfect designs, unified context beats massive datasets, and partner success is our success. Leveraging AI to augment how we do security engineering is an active opportunity for the team, and one we expect this role to help lean into. About the Role We're looking for a Cybersecurity Engineer to join SecAIE and take primary ownership of the agent, eval, and application work that Workday's Active Defense charter runs on. You'll spend most of your time engineering the layer partners actually use - eval harnesses, agent scaffolds, schemas, and application UIs on top of security data - so detection, response, and threat-intel teams can move from a vague ask to a working system. This role is ideal for someone who loves turning messy operational problems into clean, reusable software, who can walk into an ambiguous ask and come back with a proposal, and who treats AI tooling as a force multiplier rather than a novelty. You will bring working knowledge of cybersecurity concepts and best practices from day one - enough to reason about identity and access, secrets handling, and the shape of common security data (vulnerabilities, incidents, identity, threat intel, detections). You will not be expected to be the deepest security specialist in the room; you will partner with domain experts across our security organization and build the agents, eval, and applications that make their work faster, more reliable, and more measurable. Responsibilities: - Own agent-adjacent application work: eval harnesses, agent scaffolds, and the UIs that security partners use to inspect and act on results - Design, build, and evolve schemas and data contracts so agents
