About the Role

As a Senior Manager of Software Development Engineering, you will establish and lead a new, cross-functional team in Chennai, composed of Data Engineers, FinOps Data Analysts, DevOps Engineers, and QA professionals. Collaborating closely with our US-based Internal Business Planning and Data Platform teams, you'll drive critical financial accountability and cost governance efforts as Workday expands into the Public Cloud. Through our FinOps initiative, Project OPUS (Optimize Platform Usage and Spend), you'll enable data-driven decision-making that balances agility, cost, and value for our cloud operations. You will also serve as Chennai's local FinOps manager, ensuring alignment with Workday's broader objectives and fostering a culture of continuous improvement in the Cost Governance space.

In this role, you will:

- Build and mentor a diverse, high-performing engineering team.

- Partner with global teams to deliver impactful data solutions and cost optimization strategies.

- Advance DevOps, CI/CD, and data engineering methodologies within the team.

About You

We're looking for a leader who combines a passion for innovative technology with a drive to grow and empower others.

Basic Qualifications:

- 5+ years of experience managing engineering teams, with a proven ability to recruit and retain top talent.

- 5+ years as a Software Engineer or hands-on technical contributor.

- 2+ years of experience working with AWS/GCP public cloud services.

- 2+ years of experience contributing to or managing open-source projects.

- Ability to overlap at least two working hours with California teams each day.

- Direct experience managing Software Developers, DevOps, and QA professionals.

- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.

- Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).

Preferred Qualifications:

- Familiarity with GitOps, containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and CI/CD.

- Experience with modern data frameworks such as dbt, Airflow, Spark, and data modeling or warehouse platforms.

- Exposure to observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog) and SQL query engines (Trino/Presto, Delta Lake, or Hive).

- Practical knowledge of FinOps principles or previous experience optimizing cloud usage and spend.

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.
