This role emphasizes practical implementation – someone who can design smart solutions across Workday, Cornerstone, and LMS platforms or build custom solutions, then immediately build, test, and deploy them. You’ll spend most of your time turning wrenches, with enough architectural thinking to ensure your solutions scale.

The ideal candidate builds custom solutions that meet our customers where they’re at and is passionate about improving the day‑to‑day lives of employees at Blue Origin.

• Leverage AI technologies and tools (e.g., LLMs, recommendation engines, intelligent automation) to enhance HR software capabilities, improve employee self‑service, and drive innovation in people technology.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams including HR business partners, data analysts, and ET stakeholders to translate people‑operations requirements into actionable software solutions.
• Identify feature gaps between enterprise HR systems and develop remediation plans, building custom solutions that meet end users where they are.
• Contribute to the design, implementation, and deployment of enterprise‑scale HR systems and services that are highly available, scalable, and maintainable.
• Produce quality technical documentation for defining integrations between enterprise‑level HR applications.
• Adopt software Dev Ops technologies and CI/CD best practices to solve software automation and deployment challenges.
• Design and implement automations that reduce manual HR operational toil, streamline workflows, and improve system reliability across the HR technology stack.
• Apply SRE principles – including SLOs, error budgets, and incident management – and collaborate with SRE teams to ensure HR systems meet reliability and availability standards.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to engineers and cross‑functional team members who are passionate about improving the employee experience at Blue Origin, fostering growth across both technical and non‑technical disciplines.
