About the Team

The Data Warehouse Core team is part of Workday's Data Platform Engineering organization, where our mission is to bring together Workday's data products and technologies to build the next-generation secure and at-scale data platform — enabling customers to build AI-native applications and agents.

Our team's focus is on enabling and supporting bi-directional zero copy of data, efficient storage, processing, and querying over tens of billions of rows within a tenant. We bring deep expertise in distributed systems, data processing frameworks, and database internals — the foundational building blocks that power Workday's data cloud. More specifically, the areas we work on include:
• Storage and management of structured Tables
• Table DML (e.g. batch updates) and DDL operations
• Data types, query languages and operators for data transformation
• Materialization of complex query plans (Views/Materialized Views) over large base data
• Scheduling and orchestration of long running batch jobs

What makes this team exciting is the scale and impact of the problems we solve. In the year ahead, we will be focused on Workday's data cloud projects, building the infrastructure that underpins how customers access, move, and analyze their data. If you are energized by designing systems that operate at massive scale and shaping the future of enterprise data, this is the team for you.
