The Staff HR Technology Architect is the senior technical authority for OpenGov’s HR technology ecosystem, responsible for the architecture, integration design, and long-term technical direction of the systems that manage employee data across the entire employee lifecycle. Based in Pune and reporting to the Director of Enterprise Applications and Engineering, this individual-contributor role sets the technical vision for the Workday platform and the broader HR application portfolio, ensuring the ecosystem is scalable, secure, compliant, and aligned to the needs of a global workforce across the US and India.
We are looking for a seasoned architect with deep domain and technical expertise across the Workday platform and the adjacent, integrated systems that make up the HR technology ecosystem — spanning payroll, benefits, talent management, talent acquisition, onboarding and offboarding, employee engagement, compliance, and HR operations. This is a hands-on, staff-level individual contributor with a dotted-line leadership mandate: no direct reports, but expected to guide and mentor HR application administrators, lead virtual teams on major initiatives, and influence the direction both technical and business teams take with HR technology. While the role is primarily architecture and design, it also carries hands-on technical delivery — the architect personally builds and delivers the most complex or high-risk integrations, configurations, and reports. The architect owns integration architecture and the HR data model end to end across best-of-breed systems, partners with the Manager, HR Technology on delivery, and serves as the design authority on data governance, security, and emerging AI and automation across the stack.
