About the Team

The vision of our Business Technology Organization is to be the trusted partner that fuels Workday\'s business technology innovations and products to enable company growth at scale. Our team cultivates relationships built on collaboration and trust to support a rapidly growing business. We strive to improve efficiency and operational effectiveness through technology, innovation and inspiration.

About the Role

Are you fascinated by the potential of AI agents to change how we work? Do you love bridging the gap between brilliant ideas and functional applications? We are seeking a creative and technically skilled Associate AI Engineer to join Workday\'s Enterprise AI Strategy and Product Management organization.

In this role, you won\'t just write code; you\'ll be an architect of intelligent solutions, using a modern toolkit of low-code platforms, APIs, and your own programming skills to build the next generation of AI-powered agents and workflows.

This is a hands-on-keyboard role for a builder at heart who is eager to grow in the fast-paced world of applied AI. You will work side-by-side with Product Managers and business leaders to rapidly prototype, build, and deploy AI agents that solve real-world problems.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and Build AI Agents: Utilize leading low-code and no-code platforms (e.g., Sana, Flowise, Langraph, ADK etc.) to design, construct, and deploy conversational AI agents and automated workflows.
• Develop Custom Data Connectors: Write, test, and maintain robust data connectors and integrations using JavaScript, TypeScript and Node.js. You\'ll be responsible for connecting our agents to various internal and external APIs (REST, GraphQL) to fetch and manipulate data.
• Implement Agent Logic and Tooling: Go beyond simple Q&A by implementing complex logic, state management, and tool-use capabilities within the agents you build.
• Collaborate on Prototypes: Partner closely with the AI Product Manager to rapidly translate user stories and requirements into functional proofs-of-concept, providing quick feedback on technical feasibility.
• Test and Iterate: Rigorously test agent performance, accuracy, and reliability. Debug integration issues and continuously iterate on agent capabilities based on user feedback and performance metrics.
• Maintain and Document: Create clear documentation for the connectors you build and the agents you deploy, ensuring our solutions are maintainable and scalable.

About You

Basic Qualifications:

• Experience: 3-5 years of experience in AI software development building complex, multi-agent systems
• Education: Bachelor’s or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field
• Foundation in Code: Solid programming skills with proficiency in JavaScript, Typescript, SQL, Python. Experience with Node.js is highly desirable.
• API & Data Fluency: A strong understanding of how to work with REST APIs and handle common data formats, especially JSON. You know how to make a request, parse a response, and handle errors.
• Applications and Integrations: Familiarity with no-code, low-code, high-code, and vibe coding platforms to build AI agents. Deep technical knowledge of enterprise software application development and enterprise application integrations (Salesforce, Apttus, MuleSoft/SnapLogic, Databricks, Snowflake etc.).
• A "Builder" Mindset: A demonstrable passion for building things. A portfolio of projects (on GitHub, personal website, etc.), is a huge plus.

• Other Qualifications:

• Problem-Solving Skills: You are a scrappy and resourceful problem-solver, able to learn new technologies quickly and figure out solutions to ambiguous challenges.
• Excellent Communicator: Ability to clearly articulate technical concepts and collaborate effectively in a team environment.

Our Approach to Flexible Work

With Flex Work, we’re combining the best of both worlds: in-person time and remote. Our approach enables our teams to deepen connections, maintain a strong community, and do their best work. We know that flexibility can take shape in many ways, so rather than a number of required days in-office each week, we simply spend at least half (50%) of our time each quarter in the office or in the field with our customers, prospects, and partners (depending on role). This means you\'ll have the freedom to create a flexible schedule that caters to your business, team, and personal needs, while being intentional to make the most of time spent together. Those in our remote "home office" roles also have the opportunity to come together in our offices for important moments that matter.

Pursuant to applicable Fair Chance law, Workday will consider for employment qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records.

Workday is an Equal Opportunity Employer including individuals with disabilities and protected veterans.
