Do what you love. Love what you do.

At Workday, we help the world’s largest organizations adapt to what’s next by bringing finance, HR, and planning into a single enterprise cloud. We work hard, and we’re serious about what we do. But we like to have fun, too. We put people first, celebrate diversity, drive innovation, and do good in the communities where we live and work.
About the Team
Workday is building a new Site Reliability Engineering team (SRE) responsible for deploying, operating and supporting a state-of-the-art cloud native service platform in production. 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.

The primary function of the SRE team is to ensure the reliability of the platform, to reduce operational load, and to scale sustainably in line with business growth. All SRE responsibilities and team growth will be supported by Service Level Objectives (SLOs).

Engineers from this team have shared their experiences at Cloud Native conferences, including KubeCon.
