Job description
At Kognitiv Inc., we’re redefining what it means to be a Workday partner. As one of the fastest-growing companies in the ecosystem, we bring deep expertise, innovative thinking, and a people-first mindset to everything we do. We’re not just building better Workday solutions—we’re building a company where talented people thrive.
Ready to do your best work? Join us.
Build the "Un-buildable" on the Workday Platform.
Our Workday Extend team is small, agile, and growing at light speed. We don’t just "configure" Workday—we treat it as a development platform. We are looking for a Consultant who wants to move beyond standard modules and dive into the world of custom objects, event-driven orchestrations, and high-impact app development. This is a rare opportunity to be a founding member of a rapidly scaling Extend practice, where you will help define our development standards and build solutions that truly didn't exist before.
The Role: Architect, Developer, Trailblazer
As an Extend Consultant, you are the bridge between a client’s "I wish Workday could do this" and a fully functional, production-ready application. You will use the Workday App Builder and Orchestration Builder to create seamless experiences that live natively within the Workday UI.
Key Technical Focus Areas:
App Development: Build custom apps using the Workday Extend framework, managing the full lifecycle from App Hub configuration to production deployment.
Orchestration: Design and build complex, event-driven Workday Orchestrations to sync data across Workday and third-party systems (using the Orchestration Builder drag-and-drop tool).
Data Modeling: Create and manage Custom Business Objects (CBOs) and custom processes to extend the Workday data model.
UI/UX Design: Craft intuitive user experiences using Page Builder, ensuring a "Workday-native" look and feel for every custom task.
Advanced Logic: Utilize Workday Query Language (WQL) and REST/SOAP APIs to pull, push, and transform data with precision.
What You’ll Do Day-to-Day
Design & Prototype: Translate complex business requirements into technical blueprints including UI flows, security domains, and data models.
Full-Stack Extend Delivery: Independently build, test, and deploy applications, ensuring they are "update-safe" and maintainable.
Troubleshoot & Optimize: Debug complex logic within orchestrations and perform root-cause analysis on app performance or security issues.
Practice Building: Contribute to our internal Reusable Solution Library. Since our team is small, your templates and "best practices" will become the foundation for all future hires.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Functional and Integration teams to ensure Extend apps integrate perfectly with core HCM, Finance, or Student modules.
Qualifications
The Foundation: 3+ years of experience in Workday Extend.
The Toolkit: Proficient in REST APIs, JSON, and Workday Web Services. Familiarity with WQL is a major advantage.
The Architect Mindset: Ability to design Workday Orchestrations and custom security models independently.
The Builder Spirit: Experience with App Builder (Visual and Code modes) and a solid understanding of how to extend Workday's metadata-driven architecture.
Growth Ready: Comfortable in a "startup-style" environment within a larger company—you are proactive, love to learn, and aren't afraid to help build the roadmap as we go.
Communication: Ability to explain the "Art of the Possible" with Extend to non-technical stakeholders.

Prepare your application
Use the description above to assess your fit for Kognitiv Inc.. This checklist is guidance from Resumize, rather than additional requirements from the employer. Imported listings can be shortened or change after collection, so confirm the complete description and current availability before sending an application.
Match requirements to evidence
Identify the responsibilities and skills the employer explicitly names. For each important requirement, choose one example from your work, education, training, or projects. Explain what you did, how you did it, and what changed as a result. Include a measurable outcome when you can support it. If you lack a requirement, describe related experience accurately instead of adding an unfamiliar skill to your resume.
Put the most relevant examples near the top of your resume. Keep job titles, dates, qualifications, and contact details consistent across your application materials. Use the employer’s terminology when it describes your experience accurately; a copied list of keywords does not explain your contribution. A short, specific bullet is easier to review than a paragraph that mixes several unrelated duties.
Check the working arrangement
Confirm the location, schedule, employment type, and any eligibility requirements on the employer’s site. A remote label does not establish worldwide eligibility or flexible hours. If compensation, benefits, equipment, travel, or contract duration are missing from this listing, write down your questions for the recruiter. Do not assume details from another opening at the same company apply to this role.
Review before submitting
Follow the employer’s requested file format and application instructions. Open your exported resume and check that its text is selectable, its sections read in order, and its links work. Proofread names, dates, and contact information. Share confidential work samples only when you have permission, and use an anonymized example when necessary.
Submit through a trusted employer or recruiting destination. If the original listing has disappeared, search the employer’s careers page for the title rather than assuming the vacancy remains open. Save the application date, job reference, and the version of your resume you sent. Those details help you prepare for a later conversation and avoid submitting conflicting information through several job boards.
Review your resume for writing and readability feedback, or browse other openings if this opportunity is unavailable.
