About the Team

At Workday, the Authentication Security team is the cornerstone of our user trust and safety. We build and maintain the critical services that act as the front door to our entire ecosystem. Our mission is to provide secure, scalable, and seamless access for millions of users, protecting their data while enabling a frictionless experience. We are a team of passionate engineers dedicated to solving complex challenges in the authentication and identity space!

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Software Developer to join our Authentication Security team. This is a critical role for a hands-on engineer who is passionate about building high-scale distributed systems and robust security infrastructure. You will work closely with the team to architect and implement critical authentication standards (OIDC, SSO, SAML, FIDO), while ensuring our services remain resilient under heavy load.  As a technical leader you will thrive in ambiguity, turning abstract security requirements into concrete, robust solutions. If you are a problem-solver who enjoys navigating complex security architecture, and mentoring others to do the same, this is your opportunity to shape the future of our platform.

What You’ll Do

Partner with leaders in engineering and products to define the vision, strategy, and roadmap for the security platform

Design and build high-performance services, libraries, and APIs that keep authentication reliable and secure.
