- 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!

- As a Software Engineer in Agent Factory, you’ll help build the user-facing and platform experiences that bring Workday’s AI agents to life

- Working within a small, cross-functional pod, you’ll design and ship full stack solutions—from intuitive front-end experiences to resilient backend services that integrate AI-driven capabilities deeply into HR and Finance workflows

- This role is about turning powerful technology into products people actually use: scalable, reliable systems that simplify complex business processes for customers around the world

- You’ll collaborate closely with machine learning engineers, product managers, and platform teams, owning features end to end and seeing your work run in production

- If you enjoy building real products, solving meaningful problems, and working with people who care about quality and craft,



you’ll feel right at home here

- Build and deliver features that power AI agents embedded in HR and Financial workflows

- Own services and experiences from development through production—you build it, you run it

- Collaborate in an iterative, team-first environment that values strong engineering practices and continuous learning

- Share knowledge, mentor teammates, and help raise the technical bar across the pod- Bachelor’s (Master’s or PhD preferred) degree in engineering, computer science, physics, math or equivalent

- 3+ years of experience designing, building, and operating highly scalable, distributed systems in production

- 5+ years of experience in software engineering

- 3+ years of proven experience with cloud computing platforms (e.g. AWS, GCP, etc.)

- Familiarity with the tradeoffs and architecture of modern distributed systems

- Experience building and operating SaaS products in cloud environments (AWS preferred)

- Knowledge of software development best practices (DevOps, CI/CD, automated testing, observability)

- Familiarity with Elasticsearch
- Hands-on experience with containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes)

- Strong communication skills, with the ability to collaborate with both technical and non-technical partners

- Experience working within fast-paced, agile environments and multi-functional teams

- Committed to fostering an inclusive, team-oriented workplace and contributing to a culture of continuous improvement

- Comfortable working with ambiguity and translating complex problems into clear, thoughtful solutions
