About the role
As part of Enterprise Engineering, the Workday Recruiting/Talent Acquisition Engineer sets the bar for technical excellence and innovation across our Talent Acquisition platform—driving configuration strategy, automation, integration optimization, and continuous validation at scale. You'll bring deep Workday Recruiting and ATS functional knowledge, combined with strong engineering capabilities, applying technical rigor to enterprise-grade recruiting system configuration, data management, and testing in a fast-paced, high-volume hiring environment.
Scope includes Workday Recruiting, Advanced Recruiting, Candidate Experience (Career Site), ATS Tech Stack (HiredScore, Paradox, iCIMS integration), Talent Acquisition processes, Onboarding, and recruiting analytics/reporting. You'll build robust, scalable automated solutions and manage the quality lifecycle in our Workday Recruiting ecosystem, ensuring compliance, data integrity, candidate experience excellence, and recruitment efficiency requirements for a rapidly growing company.

- Create reusable configuration frameworks and templates (job req templates, screening questions, candidate evaluation forms, offer letter templates, recruiting business process steps) that standardize processes, reduce configuration time, and improve system reliability.
- Drive API-level and end-to-end integration testing across the Talent Acquisition ecosystem (e.g., requisition creation to hire, candidate sourcing, screening workflows, offer approval, background checks, I-9 verification, onboarding handoff to HCM), including third-party vendor integrations and Workday web services.
- Validate Workday Recruiting Extend apps, custom objects, and advanced configurations to ensure functional correctness, security, accessibility, compliance (OFCCP, EEOC), and performance under high-volume recruiting loads.
- Establish recruiting-specific quality metrics, dashboards, and reporting (including time-to-fill, candidate conversion rates, system uptime, integration success rates, configuration coverage, defect density) that enable data-driven decision-making and continuous improvement.
- Champion candidate experience excellence: partner with Recruiting, Employer Branding, and TA Operations teams to optimize career site performance, mobile responsiveness, application completion rates, and candidate communication workflows.
- Lead technical design reviews and configuration governance for recruiting process changes, partner with Workday Recruiting Consultants, Integration Engineers, and HRIS teams on design patterns and apply configuration best practices to recruiting assets.
- Drive root cause analysis and systemic improvements across recruiting data quality, process bottlenecks, integration failures, and user experience issues; continuously optimize configuration efficiency and recruiting operations effectiveness.
- Collaborate closely with Talent Acquisition, Recruiting Operations, HR Technology, Compliance, DEI, People Analytics, and vendor partners (HiredScore, Paradox, background check providers) to align technical solutions with business priorities, hiring goals, and regulatory requirements.
- Manage Workday Recruiting roadmap alignment with bi-annual releases and feature updates; evaluate new Recruiting functionality, lead pilot programs, and drive adoption of innovations that enhance recruiter productivity and candidate experience.

The Roku Culture
Roku is a great place for people who want to work in a fast-paced environment where everyone is focused on the company's success rather than their own. We try to surround ourselves with people who are great at their jobs, who are easy to work with, and who keep their egos in check. We appreciate a sense of humor. We believe a fewer number of very talented folks can do more for less cost than a larger number of less talented teams. We're independent thinkers with big ideas who act boldly, move fast and accomplish extraordinary things through collaboration and trust. In short, at Roku you'll be part of a company that's changing how the world watches TV.
We have a unique culture that we are proud of. We think of ourselves primarily as problem-solvers, which itself is a two-part idea. We come up with the solution, but the solution isn't real until it is built and delivered to the customer. That penchant for action gives us a pragmatic approach to innovation, one that has served us well since 2002.
