Your Opportunity at ARC’TERYX
As the Application Engineer, Corporate Services, you own the Workday-centric integration fabric that ties together our global corporate technology ecosystem. Primarily focused on Workday integrations, connecting to key downstream systems including payroll, compliance, legal, facilities, asset protection, and analytics platforms – nothing works without rock-solid, data flows. You will partner directly with the Product Manager, P&C Technology Corporate Systems team, along with business teams, to turn their roadmaps into scalable, reliable integrations that drive efficiency and employee experience across the company.
This role is based out of our North Vancouver office and is open to hybrid remote work. Candidates must be eligible to work in Canada.
Meet Your Future Team
You’ll be part of a high-velocity Corporate Systems team led by the Senior Product Manager, Corporate Systems. The core squad is you, the Product Manager (P&C Technology), and the Business Analyst — working shoulder-to-shoulder with P&C business partners and AMER Group implementation teams to own Workday integrations end-to-end.
You will co-design and deliver against the HCM roadmap, provide day-to-day support, and act as a trusted technical advisor to leadership. You will ensure our Workday-centric integration landscape scales to meet the needs of a growing, global organization.
We run with shared ownership across the business with a relentless focus on delivering integrations that make back-office complexity disappear and deliver effortless, impactful experiences for employees and leaders.
If you were the Applications Engineer now, here are some of the core activities you would be doing:
Partnering closely with the Architecture & Technology team on enterprise standards and cross-domain patterns
Working side-by-side with the Senior Product Manager to design and deliver integrations that support the roadmap
Leading end-to-end design, build, development, and support of Workday integrations
Owning data connectivity of people data from P&C across internal systems and downstream vendors as approved and agreed upon
Defining and enforcing best-practice reusable patterns, canonical data models, error handling, monitoring, and resilience standards
Here are some of the things you could be working on in the future:
Leading the shift to event-driven and API-first architecture across the corporate stack
Building self-service integration capabilities for the broader tech organization
Partnering closely with AMER Sports to co-develop and align integration support processes, runbooks, and SLAs tailored to Arc'teryx’s growing needs
Participate in a shared on-call rotation across Arc'teryx and AMER Sports (shared support model; primary coverage during core business hours + escalation support outside core business hours).
Automating testing, deployment, and monitoring to reduce incident response time
Partnering on global and cross-functional projects that make our systems work seamlessly across regions and functions
Are you our next Application Engineer?
You have 5+ years delivering and supporting enterprise integrations in complex corporate environments
You are capable of performing root-cause analysis on "Break-Fix" tickets when data doesn't land correctly in a downstream system
You have excellent communication and the ability to translate complex technical topics into relatable, simple points for non-technical partners
You are building robust error handling and monitoring, including self-healing mechanisms or proactive notifications for failed file deliveries
You are capable of conducting semi-annual regression testing of all existing integrations during Workday major releases (R1 and R2) to prevent breakage from new features or API changes
Configuring Enterprise Interface Builder (EIB) for high-speed inbound/outbound bulk integrations (e.g., mass compensation changes, employee data loads).
You are capable of leveraging Core Connectors and pre-built templates for standard Workday-to-third-party connectivity
You are capable of creating calculated fields and business logic within Workday to support accurate data extraction for vendors.
You are capable of developing complex, custom integrations in Workday Studio (Eclipse-based) when EIB or Connectors are insufficient for high-volume, logic-heavy scenarios requiring advanced error handling, retries, or Java-like processing
You are capable of managing Workday security fundamentals: Integration System Users (ISUs), Integration System Security Groups (ISSGs), and domain permissions
You are capable of working with core formats and protocols: XML/XSLT/XPath transformations, SOAP/REST/WWS APIs, CSV/Fixed Width/JSON file handling
