About the Team

Agent Factory is where Workday’s next chapter gets built. We’re forming small, senior, cross‐functional AI teams that bring together product leaders, machine learning engineers, and full‐stack builders to create intelligent agents used by millions of people every day. This is production‐grade AI‒deeply embedded into Workday’s platform, not research experiments or maintenance work. Teams own problems end to end, collaborate tightly across disciplines, and use the right tools to solve real customer challenges at global scale. You’ll work at the intersection of AI, platform architecture, and human workflows, with the autonomy to shape how agents reason, act, and scale responsibly. High trust, high expectations, and real impact. Engineering, but brighter.

About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Software Engineer to contribute to a cross‐functional team building transformative AI agents for HR & Finance. This role is crucial in implementing tooling strategies, staying informed about industry trends, and ensuring our AI‐driven solutions integrate effectively within the Workday stack. Your technical contributions and team‐first attitude will play a key role in delivering high‐impact products that scale our AI capabilities and help global organizations simplify complex business processes.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with a team of engineers to deliver AI‐powered agents that integrate deeply into HR and Financial workflows, accelerating intelligent decision making.
• Participate in a supportive, iterative team culture that values curiosity, learning, and strong engineering practices.
• Contribute to the growth and success of your teammates through knowledge sharing and mentorship.
• Take ownership of multiple functional areas in our platform — from development to production ("you build it, you run it").

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.
