## Description

mission is intelligence orchestration and product delivery-connecting the brain to the product. Working within a collaborative, cross-functional pod, you'll implement how pre-trained foundational models (LLMs, vision APIs, etc.) power functional, user-facing enterprise software. You will be hands-on with building Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines, managing orchestration frameworks, and continuous prompt engineering. This role sits at the intersection of AI application building and software engineering: you will work closely with senior engineers, product managers, and designers to turn cutting-edge agentic workflows into highly responsive, reliable, and user-centric features embedded directly into the Workday stack. About You About You Basic Qualifications * 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a solid track record of developing, testing, and deploying production code.
