Key Responsibilities:
- Design, build, and maintain AI agents and automated workflows across our HR technology landscape, including Workday, ADP, and our Learning Technology stack, using tools such as Workday Extend, n8n, and Claude Code
- Own the technical approach for cross-platform automations and agent workflows end to end, from scoping through build, testing, and documentation
- Identify and build solutions for HR processes that fall outside existing system boundaries, where no single platform currently serves as the process owner
- Partner across HR Technology, HR Operations, HR Business Partners, and HR Centers of Excellence to identify where agentic AI and automation can remove friction from HR operations
- Build integrations and data flows across Workday, ADP, our Learning Technology stack, and our broader enterprise technology ecosystem
- Support People Analytics and reporting by building automated pipelines that improve data quality, timeliness, and self-service reporting
- Audit HR processes across the employee lifecycle, across all platforms and the gaps between them, to find manual or repetitive work and engineer more scalable solutions

- Experience building automated workflows using tools such as Zapier, n8n, or similar platforms
- Experience with integration design and enterprise system configuration across multiple platforms (Workday and/or ADP experience is a plus)
- Comfort owning ambiguous, cross-platform problems, including processes without a predefined system boundary
- Strong documentation habits and a collaborative approach to knowledge transfer
Preferred Experience:
- Familiarity with Workday, ADP, and HR Learning Technology platforms (Degreed, Training Orchestra, Ethena, Donut)
- Familiarity with AI/LLM tooling and agent frameworks (Claude SDK, LangChain, MCP) and how to apply them to enterprise workflows
- Exposure to Workday-specific tools such as Workday Studio, EIBs, or Workday Extend
- Experience with data pipelines or reporting tools that support people analytics (e.g., Workday Prism, Power BI, Snowflake, Databricks)
