Full Job Description
About the Team
Workday's Agent Platform team is building and maintaining the frameworks, libraries, and patterns that hundreds of Workday developers use to build LLM Agents which interact with Workday's systems.

This role will focus on a public gateway and routing service for all agents, written in Rust. This includes all Workday's public MCP offerings, and A2A integrations.

This is a fun space, the industry changes rapidly and there are no standards. It's the Wild West and we're here to figure out what makes sense and build it!

  • Build and Maintain an internal and external-facing gateway and network proxy for agent traffic.
  • Build and Maintain MCP and A2A integration points for customers integrating with Workday.
  • Identify pain-points in the Developer Experience, both internal and external, propose and implement solutions.
  • Architect new, and simplify old authentication schemes for agents.
  • Documentation!

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.
