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 Senior/Principal Machine Learning Engineer in Agent Factory, you'll design and build the core ML systems behind Workday's next generation of AI agents. Working within a small, senior, cross-functional pod, you'll own how models, agent logic, and orchestration layers come together in production---across the full lifecycle from problem framing and data strategy to deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement. You'll implement and evolve frameworks for LLM-powered agents, including RAG pipelines, workflow orchestration, evaluation, and feedback loops, ensuring solutions are scalable, observable, and enterprise-ready. This role sits at the intersection of ML and platform engineering: partnering closely with software engineers, product managers, and data scientists to integrate agents deeply into the Workday stack. You'll stay hands-on with emerging techniques in agentic architectures while applying strong engineering judgment to turn them into systems that are reliable, explainable, and built to operate at global scale.
