About the Team
The Data Platform and Observability Engineering (DPOE) team is building Workday’s next-generation data-product platform the compute, storage, catalog, orchestration, governance, and developer workflows that engineering and analytics teams use to create and operate production data products and marts.
We own the services and infrastructure behind a modern lakehouse stack: dbt Core, Airflow, Trino, Apache Iceberg, Amazon S3 Tables, AWS Glue Catalog, access control, and a visualization layer such as Apache Superset or Metabase. We treat the platform as a product. Our roadmap is how Workday teams model, test, query, and govern high-volume data without each standing up a stack of their own.
About the Role
Own the technical vision and architecture for Workday’s data-product platform — a highly scalable lakehouse that lets teams build, govern, and operate data products and marts. This is a hands-on, high-autonomy role for an engineer who can design the platform end-to-end (modeling and dbt, orchestration, distributed query, table format, catalog, security, and infrastructure as code) and who still writes and reviews highly performant analytical SQL.
