About the Team

About the Team
The Database Engineering team at Workday is responsible for ensuring the entire Workday's Data related needs are met with high performance and scale, while providing utmost high availability that our customers expect from Workday. This team takes pride in ensuring seamless operation of 1000s of production and non-production databases across multiple data centers, public clouds and geographies. Are you passionate about database technologies?!

About the Role

Workday is seeking a visionary Engineering Manager to lead our Database Reliability Engineering team. In this role, you won't just be managing databases; you will be architecting the future of our data infrastructure. We are looking for a leader who treats infrastructure as software and is passionate about leveraging Open-Source and Cloud Native solutions to power global-scale applications.

You will lead a team of high-performing engineers dedicated to the resiliency, security, and scalability of our data layer. Your mission is to move beyond traditional DBA paradigms, replacing manual intervention with automated, self-healing platforms. If you are a hybrid Software/Database Engineer who thrives on solving complex distributed systems problems and fostering a culture of technical excellence, we want to talk to you.

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.

At Workday, we are committed to providing an accessible and inclusive hiring experience where all candidates can fully demonstrate their skills. If you require assistance or an accommodation at any point, please email accommodations@workday.com .
