About the Team

The Object Management Service (OMS) has immediate openings for an experienced and strong Java engineer on the Metrics team to work at the very heart of Workday’s cloud-based software platform.
The OMS Metrics team develops software to monitor, tune, and diagnose the very heart of Workday’s cloud-based software platform: The Object Management Server (OMS), which at Workday plays the equivalent role of jet engines to airplanes. You will have the chance to create and develop the cockpit instruments which monitor the health of the system so that the planes fly efficiently and safely through the cloud! It’s also your responsibility to develop tools to help tune the engines, sometimes while airborne. Admittedly, on rare occasions our jet engine does lose power, upon which your tools (better to have a few ready) will be called upon to help diagnose the cause, rev up the engine, or, heaven forbid, do post-mortem analysis if a crash occurred. Sophisticated? Yes. Challenging? Yes. You’ll find your knowledge, experience and talents fully taxed and then some. Must be truly agile, work hard and inquisitive, but also have fun. Just imagine your code zipping into cloud through continuous deployments, help the pilots see, with engines performance tuned, with confidence of fully prepared!
