This is a "Builder" role part Engineer, part HR Systems Strategist, part AI Workflow Architect.

You will design and deploy intelligent AI agents that integrate deeply with Workday HRIS and other HR technology platforms to automate recruiting, onboarding, employee lifecycle management, workforce planning, talent intelligence, and HR service delivery. This is a remote role with the option to work anywhere in NA.
