The Data Platform and Observability (DPOE) team enables insight into the operation and performance of Workday's increasingly sophisticated computing infrastructure and application environment. Our large-scale distributed data platform digests hundreds of terabytes of structured and unstructured data in the form of billions of messages produced daily by Workday applications and infrastructure services. We develop software and fully coordinate solutions for the entire data pipeline from data collection to visualization and reporting. If you enjoy writing efficient software, crafting innovative capabilities by integrating the latest cloud-native technologies, and tuning and scaling large distributed systems, you will enjoy working with us!

Observability Platform Engineering (PPE) team deploys and operates Observability cloud infrastructure (Kubernetes, CI/CD tooling, networking, security) for the DPOE observability teams.
