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

As a Senior Full Stack 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.

Your responsibilities:

  • Build and deliver full stack 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

About You

Basic Qualifications:

  • 8+ years of experience in software engineering

  • 5+ years experience with a web development framework (Python preferred: Flask, Django, or FastAPI)

  • 5+ years with a Relational DB (PostgreSQL preferred)

Other Qualifications:

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

  • Familiarity with the tradeoffs and architecture of modern distributed systems

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

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

  • Familiarity with Elasticsearch

  • Exposure to additional programming languages like Java (backend) and TypeScript (frontend/fullstack) is a plus

  • Proven success working within fast-paced, agile environments and cross-functional teams

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

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

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

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.
