About the role
- Agent Factory is where Workday's next chapter gets built.
- This is production-grade AI-deeply embedded into Workday's platform-not research experiments or maintenance work.
- 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.
Responsibilities
- Build, lead, and mentor a team of exceptional engineers.
- Collaborate with architects and principal engineers to ensure seamless integration with the Workday platform

Requirements

- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.

- 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).
- Workday is committed to providing reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals during our application process, in order to perform one or more essential functions of their job, as well as regarding the use of AI tools for employment decision-making to any degree.
