Overview
Software Development Engineer – Developer Platforms. Your work days are brighter here.
About the Team
Our mission is to help scale the Workday application platform and power the next wave of application growth and opportunity at Workday. We aim to deliver performance and scaling possibilities by delivering a compilation/transpilation tool and corresponding runtime that is fast through optimisation and transformation techniques. Our CXO team is based in Dublin Ireland and Munich Germany and currently serves a 2000+ Workday development community. We have a work environment that is not driven by external product launches but is driven by the performance and scalability needs of our development community which allows us to focus on producing well thought out solutions that enhance our application development runtime platform.
About the Role
As a Software Development Engineer for the Compiled XO team in our Developer Platforms organization you will be at the foundation of Workday’s application development runtime and toolset. It''s a wide ranging and exciting role where you with expert support and training from the team will help build and evolve our application runtime and associated tooling. This ranges from working on source code transpilation, compiler optimization, transformation and code generation and everything that''s required to be production ready in terms of unit, system and integration testing, performance testing, production analysis, diagnosis and monitoring. Our engineers are innovative software developers who are deep on development and informed about the latest technologies and trends. If you are fired up about working with developers who are creative and highly technical and you enjoy collaboration with knowledgeable Product Managers we’d love to speak to you.
About You

Basic Qualifications
* A solid understanding of Java and its core libraries.

Other Qualifications
* Knowledge and experience in compiler and modern language design is an useful but not necessary
* 1+ years’ experience with Workday's XpressO Language and Tools and/or Automation frameworks and infrastructure would be an advantage (but not a hard requirement)

Our Approach to Flexible Work
With Flex Work we’re combining the best of both worlds: in-person time and remote. Our approach enables our teams to deepen connections, maintain a strong community and do their best work. We know that flexibility can take shape in many ways, so rather than a number of required days in-office each week we simply spend at least half (50%) of our time each quarter in the office or in the field with our customers, prospects and partners (depending on role). This means you''ll have the freedom to create a flexible schedule that caters to your business team and personal needs while being intentional to make the most of time spent together. Those in our remote 'home office' roles also have the opportunity to come together in our offices for important moments that matter.
