Were hiring a Staff Software Engineer to represent Workato in the Model Context Protocol (MCP) ecosystem. The core of this role is contributionto the spec to open source tooling and to the community.

What You Bring
You provide deep expertise and sustained engagement within the ecosystem youre already part of. This is not a typical product engineering role where open source is a side benefit; the primary job is ecosystem contribution:

• Thinking deeply about the end user as much as you consider what makes a great developer experience
• Contributions to the MCP specification and reference implementations
• Building and maintaining open-source MCP servers and tooling
• Participating actively in community discussions helping others solve problems and sharing what you learn
• An Ability and Eagerness to represent Workato as a constructive technically credible voice in the MCP community
  
  

What Workato Offers
Workato has made MCP central to our platform strategy. Workato provides the sponsorship resources and enterprise context.

• 100 pre-built MCP servers for enterprise systems including Salesforce Workday NetSuite Zendesk Okta Stripe and others
• MCP Cloud allows any Workato API collection to become a remote MCP server with authentication rate limiting and governance built in
• Genies as MCP clientsour AI agents can invoke any third-party MCP server connecting to the broader ecosystem
• 12000 connectors available to be exposed as MCP-compatible tools

Workato benefits because we become a meaningful participant in the ecosystem rather than just a consumer of it. You benefit because you get paid to do work youre already doing with enterprise backing and infrastructure behind you.

Were not evaluating MCP; weve committed to it as the protocol layer for agentic automation in the enterprise.

The problems were solving include identity governance multi-tenancy observability. These are problems the community needs solved and were in a position to contribute those solutions upstream.

• 57 years of professional software development experience with a proven track record of shipping high-quality products
• Active visible contributor to the MCP ecosystem
• Strong software engineering skills in Python or TypeScript with comfort across multiple languages

• Contributions to the MCP spec or official repositories
• Experience with enterprise integration challenges
• Track record of sustained open source contribution
• Adaptable proactive and creativecomfortable working in a dynamic startup-like environment.
• Strong problem-solving skills and a continuous improvement mindset.

What Does Ownership Look Like
Your primary focus is ecosystem work but your efforts will inevitably guide how Workato evolves its own MCP capabilities:

• Advise on architecture for exposing Workato connectors as MCP servers
• Help shape our developer experience for MCP
• Identify where Workato can contribute infrastructure or tooling that the domain needs
