Job description

Who We Are At Kyndryl, we run and reimagine the mission-critical technology systems that drive advantage for the world’s leading businesses. We are at the heart of progress; with proven expertise and a continuous flow of AI-powered insight, enabling smarter decisions, faster innovation, and a lasting competitive edge. For our people—Kyndryls—that means doing purposeful work that powers human progress. Join us and experience a flexible, supportive environment where your well-being is prioritized and your potential can thrive. The Role Are you ready to join the team of software engineering experts at Kyndryl? We are seeking a technically strong Software Engineering Technical Specialist - Workday Integrations to design, deliver, and support integrations across Kyndryl’s enterprise HR ecosystem, with Workday as the system of record. As a Software Engineering Technical Specialist, you will develop and support integration solutions within enterprise HR domains such as Workday HCM, payroll, benefits, identity and access management, and third‑party HR platforms. You will be a technical leader—contributing deep domain expertise, guidance, and technical ownership across the integration lifecycle. At Kyndryl, effective communication and collaboration are critical. In this role, you will work closely with HR, Payroll, Benefits, Security, and external vendors to translate business and regulatory requirements into secure, reliable Workday integration solutions. You will be a trusted problem‑solver for complex data, process, and integration issues that span the employee lifecycle. You will drive the design, development, testing, deployment, and operational support of Workday integrations, leveraging platform‑native frameworks and enterprise integration patterns. Your focus will be on data accuracy, reliability, security, and compliance across global hire‑to‑retire processes, rather than custom product development. You will partner with fellow engineers, integration architects, and platform owners to deliver high‑quality integration solutions aligned with release schedules, business cycles (such as payroll and benefits events), and operational readiness standards. As a senior technical specialist, you will also mentor engineers, help establish integration standards and best practices, and contribute to continuous improvement of the Workday integration landscape. This role offers the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on a business‑critical platform supporting Kyndryl’s global workforce.
