About the Opportunity
We are partnering with an established organization in Houston that is seeking an experienced Workday Integrations Developer to join their internal Workday team. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who thrives in a hands-on environment, enjoys solving complex integration challenges, and wants to make an immediate impact within a business that relies heavily on its Workday ecosystem.

You will work closely with HR stakeholders and business leaders to ensure integrations continue to operate effectively while identifying opportunities to improve efficiency and scalability across the platform.
This role would suit someone who combines strong technical Workday expertise with a solid understanding of HR processes and business needs.

What We're Looking For

You will be joining at a pivotal time, making this an opportunity to have immediate influence, take ownership of a critical function, and help shape the next phase of the organization's Workday journey.
