What they need
- The Enterprise Identity team serves as Workday’s first and most critical line of defense
- We own, build, and evolve the Identity and Access Management (IAM) systems that govern exactly who gets access to internal resources, what they can do with that access, and why
- Operating across one of the most complex enterprise cloud environments in the software industry, our technical scope spans human, non-human, and multi-cloud identity systems
- From implementing practical Zero Trust controls and conditional access policies, to engineering automated workflows for seamless onboarding, role transitions, and offboarding across the company, this team is at the forefront of how Workday secures its digital ecosystem
- We are also tackling challenges on the AI and agentic frontier, securing autonomous AI agents, non-human identities (NHIs), and service-to-service trust models in production
- Our work in privileged access governance focuses on hardening system access, reducing long-lived elevated privileges, and driving the transition toward right-sized entitlements and least-privilege models
- At Workday, identity is not a back-office IT support function—it is a core security boundary and engineering enabler
- The Enterprise Identity team directly influences how safely Workday builds and ships products, acting as a crucial pillar in protecting the vital data and infrastructure of over 60 million users
- We are looking for a skilled Mid-Level IAM Engineer to join our Enterprise Identity team
- You will be responsible for the day-to-day configuration, maintenance, and optimization of our identity tools

- System Integration: Configure, integrate, and maintain connections between our core identity provider (IdP) and various SaaS applications, internal systems, and APIs
- Lifecycle Management: Implement and troubleshoot automated user lifecycle workflows (joiner, mover, leaver) to ensure seamless and secure access transitions
- Operational Support: Act as the initial contact point for identity and access issues in EU Sovereign Cloud, resolving tier-one directory synchronization or authentication failures. Perform regular vulnerability management updates across cloud environments
- Directory Management: Administer and maintain LDAP, Ory Hydra, and HR-driven identity data feeds
- Process Automation: Write and maintain scripts to automate routine identity tasks, such as generating access reports or cleaning up orphaned accounts
- Documentation: Create and maintain clear technical documentation, architectural diagrams, and standard operating procedures (SOPs) for the IAM ecosystem- Education: Bachelor’s degree in a relevant discipline such as Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Information Security, or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience
- Experience: 3–5 years of experience in IT or Security, with 2+ years of direct experience administering and configuring IAM solutions
- Soft Skills: Strong analytical problem-solving skills and the ability to explain complex technical access issues to non-technical stakeholders
- Identity Platforms: Solid experience working with tools like Okta or Microsoft Entra ID, LDAP, Active Directory, Ory Hydra
- Certifications: Security+, Okta Certified Administrator, or Microsoft Certified: Identity and Access Administrator Associate are a plus, along with AWS Cloud Practitioner
- Scripting: Competency in at least one scripting language (GoLang or Python preferred) for API integration and data manipulation
- Protocols: Practical understanding of authentication and authorization standards (SAML, OAuth, OIDC, and REST APIs)
- Good understanding of Information Security principles and best practices, including zero standing privileges
- Understanding of Security by Design principles and the ability to contribute to secure design and conduct security reviews
- Proficiency in one or more Programming Languages such as Python used for security automation, analysis, or tool development
- Working knowledge of Public Clouds like AWS/GCP and implementing security measures within those environments
