Full Job Description
About the Team
Join the Evisort team at Workday, where our mission is to transform how business deals get done. In a space often slowed by inefficient contract management systems, we provide an intelligent solution that helps businesses accelerate, scale, and safeguard operations - enabling legal and business professionals to drive strategic impact.

At Evisort, we're building innovative AI technology that makes contracts searchable, actionable, and manageable - empowering teams to work smarter, reduce risk, and boost efficiency. By eliminating manual tasks and simplifying complex workflows, we help organizations make more confident decisions, faster.

We believe legal documents shouldn't slow teams down. That's why we're reimagining contract management - removing friction and giving talented people the tools they need to thrive.

Our team shares a deep passion for Workday's core values: innovation, integrity, and putting people first. If this sounds like your kind of team, we'd love to hear from you!

About the Role

Evisort Engineering is growing! As a Principal Software Engineer, you'll join a collaborative, cross-functional team working to enhance and expand our AI-driven contract management platform. You'll work closely with engineers, product managers, data scientists, and designers to help deliver scalable, user-centric solutions that transform how legal and business teams manage their contracts.

Your technical contributions and team-first mindset will play a key role in delivering high-impact products that scale our AI capabilities and help global organizations simplify complex business processes.

You will:
  • Collaborate with engineering, data science, product, and design teams to build and evolve our vision, strategy, and roadmap
  • Participate in a supportive, iterative team culture that values curiosity, learning, and strong engineering practices
  • Contribute to the growth and success of your teammates through knowledge sharing and mentorship
  • Take ownership of multiple functional areas in our platform - from development to production ("you build it, you run it")


About You

Basic Qualifications
  • 12+ years of experience in professional software engineering
  • 8+ years experience with a web development framework (Flask, Django, FastAPI, NestJS, Sprint Boot, Ruby on Rails, ASP.NET, etc.)
  • 8+ years of experience with relational databases (such as MS SQL Server or PostgreSQL) and NoSQL databases (such as AWS DDB)
  • 5+ years of experience leading design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems


Other Qualifications
  • 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
  • Exposure to additional programming languages like Java (backend) and TypeScript (frontend/fullstack) is a plus
  • Proven success working within fast-paced, agile environments and cross-functional teams
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to collaborate with both technical and non-technical partners
  • Comfortable working with ambiguity and translating complex problems into clear, thoughtful solutions
  • Committed to fostering an inclusive, team-oriented environment and contributing to a culture of continuous improvement

Our Approach to Flexible Work

With Flex Work, we're combining the best of both worlds: in-person time and remote. Our approach enables our teams to deepen connections, maintain a strong community, and do their best work. We know that flexibility can take shape in many ways, so rather than a number of required days in-office each week, we simply spend at least half (50%) of our time each quarter in the office or in the field with our customers, prospects, and partners (depending on role). This means you'll have the freedom to create a flexible schedule that caters to your business, team, and personal needs, while being intentional to make the most of time spent together. Those in our remote "home office" roles also have the opportunity to come together in our offices for important moments that matter.

In addition, Workday will never ask candidates to pay a recruiting fee, or pay for consulting or coaching services, in order to apply for a job at Workday.
