About the Team

Are you a DevOps or Site Reliability Engineer who loves the challenge of automating, operating and improving pioneering cloud native service platforms? Do you love digging into a production problem and seeing it through to resolution and follow through?

We're the team that deploys, operates and supports our cloud native technology

platform that was designed from scratch for the cloud. We lead the reliability for the complete stack and tools that delivers and supports Workday products across public clouds (e.g. AWS and GCP).

The platform is built using Cloud Native technologies (CNCF), on a foundation of

Kubernetes in Public Cloud environments. This provides a secure platform on which Workday service teams, and Platform development teams can build and test their pre-release code, through deployment to production on a continuous basis.

About the Role

The primary function of the DevOps/SRE team is to ensure the reliability and

availability of the platform to meet the desired SLAs, reduce operational load and to scale sustainably in alignment with business growth.

• Be a key member of team of dedicated DevOps/SREs responsible for software engineering and operations, with an emphasis on reducing operational toil.
• Automation and improvements are planned by following scrum practices with

two week sprints.

• The scrum team is autonomous - on-call function is follow-the-sun
• Tech stack is Cloud Native (Kubernetes, Istio, OPA, GoLang, Ruby/Groovy, ArgoCD, Jenkins, Prometheus, Grafana etc)

• Responsible for the safe change and reliability of customer environments, with SLO gated multi-stage deployment automation. Mission is to improve platform reliability, observability and overall customer satisfaction.

• Develop and launch effective SLIs to ensure that SLOs are achieved through

building an extendable Observability architecture, runbook automation, and

establishing new processes.

• Partner with platform service teams to craft and implement a range of SRE

standards for their respective services to meet. Define benchmarks and automation to qualify services to move to production environments

About You

Your passion for identifying and solving problems on distributed environments

scaling across configuration, Linux Operating System and network. You have hands- on experience handling distributed environments (Kubernetes experience or Certified Kubernetes administrator certification is a big plus). You have a keen interest in improving operational efficiency, and believe that automation is the key to operating large-scale systems. You are driven to ensure customer success.

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.
