Staff Workday Integration Engineer

The Community You Will Join

The Talent Systems team within BizTech is the trusted technology partner to Employee Experience, Recruiting, Payroll, Procurement, Legal, and Privacy teams across Airbnb's global operations. Driven by the philosophy of 'High Tech, Human Touch,' we design and implement technology that meets both business objectives and employee needs, building robust frameworks that support the full employee journey, delivering AI-enabled self-service tools, and playing a key role in payroll management and benefits enrollment.

We own and operate a portfolio of 300+ production integrations spanning payroll processors, benefits carriers, identity providers, compliance vendors, and internal platforms, with Workday at the center. You'll partner closely with HR Centers of Excellence, IT Security, Finance, and external vendors to deliver enterprise-grade integration solutions that power Airbnb's global HR technology ecosystem.

The Difference You Will Make

As a Staff Workday Integration Engineer, you are the technical authority for the integration initiatives that BizTech and Airbnb depend on. You will help define our integration strategy and technical roadmap, setting architectural standards that enable seamless HR data flows across our global employee population.

This is a hands-on builder role. You will personally write integration logic, own production reliability, and make the architectural decisions other engineers build against. You will drive touchless automation, reduce manual intervention, and ensure compliance across multiple jurisdictions. Your work directly impacts how thousands of Airbnb employees experience their payroll, benefits, time tracking, and HR processes.

As a Staff-level engineer, you will think 12+ months ahead, proactively surface systemic gaps, and establish patterns adopted across the Talent Systems team. The team is also actively investing in agentic systems and AI-enabled internal tooling that reshape how employees interact with HR processes, and you will gain hands-on exposure to that work.
