About the Team
The Cloud Account Governance team is the foundation of our secure, scalable, and efficient cloud architecture. We sit at the intersection of enterprise architecture, cloud security, and financial operations (FinOps)—ensuring that our multi-cloud environment remains compliant, cost-optimized, and frictionless for developers.
Rather than acting as a traditional gatekeeper, our mission is to build automated guardrails, streamline account provisioning, and deliver clear policy frameworks that empower engineering teams to move fast without compromising security or budget.
About the Role
We are looking for a Cloud Engineer to join our CloudOps team in Dublin, Ireland, to help optimize our multi-cloud infrastructure across our cloud service providers.
Sitting directly at the intersection of developer velocity, data visibility, and cloud security, your focus will be ensuring our engineering teams gain safe, seamless, and automated access to cloud environments. You will also leverage modern AI-assisted engineering tools (such as Claude, Cursor, and Gemini) to automate cloud lifecycle workflows, eliminate routine operational friction, and scale our platform infrastructure.

Our Approach to Flexible Work
With Flex Work, we’re combining the best of both worlds: in-person time and remote. Our approach enables our teams to deepen connections, maintain a strong community, and do their best work. We know that flexibility can take shape in many ways, so rather than a number of required days in-office each week, we simply spend at least half (50%) of our time each quarter in the office or in the field with our customers, prospects, and partners (depending on role). This means you'll have the freedom to create a flexible schedule that caters to your business, team, and personal needs, while being intentional to make the most of time spent together. Those in our remote "home office" roles also have the opportunity to come together in our offices for important moments that matter.
Pursuant to applicable Fair Chance law, Workday will consider for employment qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records.
Workday is an Equal Opportunity Employer including individuals with disabilities and protected veterans.

Any employee who retaliates against a candidate or employee for doing so may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment, to the fullest extent allowable under applicable law.
If you require a reasonable accommodation, you may email accommodations@workday.com, as far in advance as possible.
