We are seeking a hands-on technical leader for the DET IT Finance Engineering team with experience building solutions for cloud ERP platforms such as Workday, Oracle Cloud ERP, SAP S/4HANA Cloud, or comparable systems.

This role combines strong software engineering fundamentals with deep expertise in ERP technical development, enterprise integrations, or data engineering. Our environment includes Workday Financials, MuleSoft, cloud platforms, and financial data solutions. You will help shape their architecture, build reliable solutions, and apply AI and automation to improve engineering productivity and finance operations.

Candidates may bring their strongest expertise in Workday technical engineering, MuleSoft or comparable integration platforms, or data platforms supporting cloud ERP. The ability to design, code, troubleshoot, and lead complex technical delivery is central to this role.

As a Lead Software Engineer, you will drive the design and delivery of enterprise finance solutions that power Salesforce globally. You will work across ERP applications, APIs, integrations, and data platforms to solve complex business and engineering problems. You will remain actively involved in implementation while guiding architecture, reviewing code, mentoring engineers, and improving platform reliability.

• Design, build, and operate integrations connecting Workday and other finance applications with Salesforce, revenue recognition, tax, banking, and enterprise data platforms.
• Develop solutions using your primary technical strengths—ERP development, MuleSoft/API engineering, or data engineering—and collaborate across the other disciplines.
• Build reliable APIs, event-driven integrations, data pipelines, and transformations with appropriate validation, reconciliation, error handling, and monitoring.
• Lead complex troubleshooting across application, integration, and data layers, addressing root causes and improving operational resilience.
• Modernize existing solutions using appropriate cloud services, automation, and reusable engineering components.
• Apply AI-assisted development and agentic tools to coding, testing, documentation, and support, with attention to accuracy, security, and measurable value.
• Own technical delivery from design through implementation, testing, deployment, and production support.
• Mentor engineers through design and code reviews and partner with product, finance, architecture, security, and platform teams.

Minimum Requirements

• 10+ years of enterprise software engineering experience, including substantial hands-on technical delivery involving a cloud ERP platform such as Workday, Oracle Cloud ERP, SAP S/4HANA Cloud, NetSuite, or a comparable platform.
• Demonstrated technical depth in at least one of the following areas:
  • ERP technical engineering: Extensions, integrations, business-process automation, security, reporting, or accounting/data-processing frameworks.
  • Integration engineering: MuleSoft Anypoint Platform or comparable technologies, including API development, orchestration, messaging, and enterprise system connectivity.
  • Data engineering: Advanced SQL, data modeling, ETL/ELT pipelines, transformation frameworks, and cloud data platforms supporting ERP or financial processes.
• Strong hands-on programming skills in languages relevant to your specialization, such as Java, Python, SQL, or equivalent, with the ability to write, review, debug, and optimize production code.
• Proven experience leading architecture and solution design for complex enterprise systems.
• Strong understanding of APIs, REST/SOAP services, authentication, asynchronous processing, and integration design patterns.
• Experience designing for data integrity, reconciliation, auditability, security, and reliable recovery from failures.
• Practical experience with source control, automated testing, CI/CD, and production monitoring.
• Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills across applications, integrations, and databases.
• A related technical degree required.
• Ability to translate finance requirements into technical solutions and explain design decisions to technical and business stakeholders.
• Willingness to develop expertise in Workday and the broader finance technology stack.

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on Workday technical experience in one or more areas such as Financials, Accounting Center, Prism Analytics, Studio, EIB, Core Connectors, Extend, Orchestrate, reporting, or security.
• Experience with MuleSoft Anypoint Platform, including API development, DataWeave, API Management, and CloudHub.
• Experience building and operating solutions on AWS, GCP, or another major cloud platform.
• Familiarity with finance processes such as general ledger, accounts receivable/payable, revenue recognition, tax, payments, or financial close.
• Experience with event-driven architectures using Kafka, Pub/Sub, SQS, or equivalent technologies.
• Experience applying AI developer tools, LLMs, or agentic automation to enterprise engineering workflows.
