Job Description
At Kainos, we provide a proven track record of launching innovative and creative SaaS products designed to help Workday customers maximize their Workday investment. Our existing solutions include Workday testing, compliance, data masking, employee document management and pay transparency analyzer.
We are looking for Workday Extend Developers to help shape our future product offerings on the Workday platform.
The role holder will join a Product team to focus entirely on innovating new products on the Workday platform. The team will identify, build, sell and operate these new products until they become mature products.
This role has been opened as a result of new Workday partnerships which includes the Marketplace, the AI Gateway, AWS integration and the ‘Built on Workday’ programme. These initiatives provide the technical and commercial framework for creating a thriving product ecosystem on the Workday platform. With this new team we want Kainos to become the leading Partner in the Marketplace.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
