Senior Software Development Engineer (Full Stack)

We are a Fortune 500 company and a leading AI platform for managing people, money, and agents. At Workday, we shape the future of work so teams can reach their potential.

About The Team

Agent Factory is where Workday’s next chapter gets built. Our small, senior, cross‑functional AI teams bring together product leaders, machine learning engineers, and full‑stack builders to create intelligent agents used by millions of people every day. The work is production‑grade AI deeply embedded in the platform, not research experiments.

About The Role

As a Senior Full‑Stack Software Engineer in Agent Factory, you will build user‑facing and platform experiences that bring Workday’s AI agents to life. You will design and ship full‑stack solutions—from intuitive front‑end experiences to resilient back‑end services that integrate AI‑driven capabilities into HR and Finance workflows. You will own features end‑to‑end and see your work run in production.

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.
• 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.

Basic Qualifications

• 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).

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 (back‑end) and TypeScript (front‑end/full‑stack) is a plus.
• Proven success working within fast‑paced, agile environments and cross‑functional teams.
• Strong communication skills, able 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.
