## Description

We’re Workday, a leading AI platform for managing people, money, and agents. As a Principal/Senior Software Engineer, Agentic UX in Agent Factory, you’ll help build the conversational AI experience and ambient capabilities that bring Workday’s agents to life.

You are an AI-native builder, not a pure frontend developer. You will own features end-to-end, connecting the agentic logic directly to the user interface. You don't just build UI; you orchestrate the agentic flows that power the UX.

Your responsibilities:

- Design and deliver intuitive conversational and agentic AI experiences, prioritizing seamless user interactions and thoughtful workflows.

- Shape how users experience AI reasoning by bridging the gap between powerful agent capabilities and clear, usable interfaces.

- 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:

- 12+ years of experience in software engineering, 7+ years experience with a web development framework (TypeScript/React, Python/FastAPI).

- 3+ years of experience building conversational or agentic AI applications.

- 5+ years of experience leading projects or teams.

Other Qualifications:

- Experience collaborating with product designers, or a demonstrated portfolio focusing on high-quality UX/UI design principles.

- 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.

The annualized base salary ranges for the primary location and any additional locations are listed below. Workday pay ranges vary based on work location. As a part of the total compensation package, this role may be eligible for the Workday Bonus Plan or a role-specific commission/bonus, as well as annual refresh stock grants.
