About the Team

The DevOps Engineering team keeps our cloud environments reliable, available, and high-performing — enabling smooth releases and infrastructure that scales with a large scale SaaS platform.
We focus on helping product teams ship quickly and safely, aligning infrastructure with Workday's standards, and automating as much of the software delivery lifecycle as possible. Going forward, we'll keep deepening automation, expanding observability, and driving consistency across environments.
