What you'll do
Are you ready to join Kyndryl’s CIO Hire‑to‑Retire organization as a Senior Lead, Software Engineering Specialist - Workday Benefits? We are seeking an experienced, independently driven Workday practitioner to design, configure, and support Benefits solutions with Workday as the system of record.
In this role, you will serve as a subject matter expert for Workday Benefits, owning solution design, configuration, testing, and deployment across global business requirements. You will partner closely with HR, Payroll, and downstream teams to deliver accurate, compliant, and scalable solutions that support both day‑to‑day operations and evolving business needs.
You will be responsible for translating business requirements into Workday configuration solutions, advising on best practices, identifying impacts across related domains, and ensuring solutions are sustainable and supportable. This role requires the ability to work independently, manage competing priorities, and drive work to completion with limited oversight.
You will collaborate with integration partners and technical teams where needed, but your primary focus will be on functional configuration, solution quality, and business outcomes, rather than custom development. This role offers the opportunity to be a key contributor to a business‑critical HR platform supporting Kyndryl’s global workforce, supporting cross‑functional solution and assessing end‑to‑end impacts across the Hire‑to‑Retire lifecycle.
Your Future at Kyndryl
Every position at Kyndryl offers a way forward to grow your career. We have opportunities that you won’t find anywhere else, including hands‑on experience, learning opportunities, and the chance to certify in all four major platforms. Whether you want to broaden your knowledge base or narrow your scope and specialize in a specific sector, you can find your opportunity here.
Requirements
You’re good at what you do and possess the required experience to prove it. However, equally as important – you have a growth mindset; keen to drive your own personal and professional development. You are customer-focused – someone who prioritizes customer success in their work. And finally, you’re open and borderless – naturally inclusive in how you work with others.
7+ years of hands‑on Workday configuration experience, with deep expertise in Benefits
Proven ability to independently design and deliver Workday configuration solutions, from requirements through deployment
Strong understanding of benefits, and payroll‑related business processes, including downstream impacts
Experience supporting production Workday environments, including troubleshooting and configuration changes in live systems
Experience supporting global or multi‑country Workday deployments
Familiarity with Workday business process frameworks, security considerations, and reporting impacts related to Time and Absence
Ability to translate business requirements into scalable, supportable Workday solutions using best‑practice configuration approaches
Strong analytical, problem‑solving, and communication skills in an enterprise, cross‑functional environment
Nice to have
Experience configuring one or more additional Workday functional areas, such as Compensation, Absence, Time Tracking, or Projects
Experience working in a matrixed or global team
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Information Systems, HRIS, or a related field
Workplace: Brazil (remote)
Working hours: From 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM - Monday to Friday.
