Design and build the core ML systems behind Workday’s next generation of AI agents.
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.
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.
Partner closely with software engineers, product managers, and data scientists to integrate agents deeply into the Workday stack.
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.
