Job description
About the Role
As a Principal AI 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.
