Sr Site Reliability Engineer (US Federal)

About the role

Your work matters here. At Workday Government, we focus on outcomes that serve a larger mission. Our work supports U.S. federal agencies as they modernize and transform the full employee lifecycle experience and finance operations-so they can operate with greater clarity, accountability, and trust. As a Fortune 500 company and a proven enterprise cloud platform, Workday brings modern technology, responsible AI, and secure infrastructure to some of the most complex environments in the world. The work isn't theoretical. It's operational. It's high-impact. And it demands rigor, integrity, and long-term thinking. From day one, you'll be part of a team that values collaboration, follow-through, and doing the right thing-especially when the stakes are high. Our culture is grounded in integrity, respect, and shared responsibility. We challenge each other to think clearly, act thoughtfully, and build solutions that stand up to real-world demands. Here, curiosity is matched with accountability. Ambition is paired with trust. You'll have the space to do your best work, the support to keep growing, and the backing of a company committed to long-term investment in both its people and the federal mission. If you're looking to apply your experience to meaningful, mission-driven work-alongside colleagues who take pride in building things that last-you'll find that opportunity at Workday Government. This role will support one or more direct or indirect contracts with the U.S. Federal Government which, due to federal government security requirements, mandates that all Workday personnel working on the contracts be United States citizens (naturalized or native). May be required to be on site at client locations in the DC, MD, and VA (DMV) area. We are looking for a highly motivated Site Reliability Engineer to join our growing Infrastructure and Federal Platform Engineering team. You will play a critical role in operating, monitoring, automating, maintaining, and providing metrics and observability for our Kubernetes-based platform and enabling our engineering organization to deliver capabilities and incremental products quickly and reliably. You and the team will have the opportunity to work with cutting-edge technologies, solve complicated problems, and contribute to the foundation of our infrastructure. This role requires a strong technical background, a passion for automation, and a collaborative mindset. You have a growth mindset and will be part of a team promoting a diverse and inclusive environment where you and your workmates are happy, energized and engaged, and who are excited to come to work every day.
