Senior Software Development Engineer; Full Stack

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 in 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.

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 back‑end 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.

Collaborate closely with machine‑learning engineers, product managers, and platform teams, owning features end to end and seeing your work run in production. Build real products, solve meaningful problems, and work with people who care about quality and craft.

• 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.

• 8+ years of experience in software engineering.
• 5+ years of experience with a web development framework (Python preferred: Flask, Django, or FastAPI).
• 5+ years with a relational database (PostgreSQL preferred).

• Experience building and operating SaaS products in cloud environments (AWS preferred).
• Familiarity with the trade‑offs and architecture of modern distributed systems.
• Knowledge of software development best practices (Dev Ops, 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 Type Script (frontend/full‑stack) 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.
