Application Engineer, Corporate Services Technology

Team: ERP & Corporate Systems

Location: North Vancouver, BC (Corporate)

Commitment: Full-time

Workplace Type: hybrid

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
