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 Principal/ Sr 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. We are open to hiring a Principal/ Sr SDE

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.
