Workday | AI Creative Technologist | Pleasanton, CA | ONSITE | Contract

Workday | AI Creative Technologist | Pleasanton, CA | ONSITE | Contract Workday's in-house creative team already uses AI every day. We built our own agent platform (Creative AI Studio) and now need a hands-on technologist to keep it running well and build what comes next. Half the work is building: new role-specific agents, plus integrations and automations over APIs and MCP servers that move work from request to brief to production to review with fewer manual handoffs. The other half is making shipped tools work for people: supporting users, improving agents through PRs, and teaching designers and writers to get real value from them. You'll also be our technical filter on AI vendors, looking past the demo to the architecture, security, data handling, and pricing. You'd be a good fit if you:

• Have shipped AI agents or agentic workflows that real users depend on (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.)
• Are at home in a repo: branches, PRs, code review, release hygiene
• Understand APIs, auth, webhooks, and MCP, and can map data flows before you build
• Can teach a room of non-technical creatives without jargon

Not a fit if you want to build but not support or teach, or you'd rather research AI than ship it. To apply, email chris.varela@workday.com with your resume and links or write-ups for one or two things you've built. For each one, tell me what problem it solved, how it works, and what you'd change now. I'm the hiring manager and read every one.
