An AI startup redefining how enterprise HR teams operate is hiring a customer-facing technical specialist to help deploy and optimise their next-generation agentic AI platform.

This is a highly technical implementation and workflow engineering role focused on integrating AI into complex HR environments. You’ll work directly with enterprise customers to design, configure, and deploy AI-powered HR workflows across systems like Workday, UKG, Dayforce, SAP, SharePoint and Google Workspace.

If you enjoy solving messy operational problems, working closely with customers, and building real-world AI workflows — without being sat writing backend production code all day — this is the type of role worth looking at.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Designing and deploying AI-powered HR workflows for enterprise customers
• Integrating with HCM/HRIS platforms including Workday, UKG, Dayforce, SAP and related systems
• Working with APIs, SSO, SCIM provisioning and data integrations
• Translating customer HR processes into scalable workflow solutions
• Configuring integrations with knowledge systems such as SharePoint and Google Drive
• Troubleshooting technical implementation and integration issues
• Acting as the technical counterpart to customer success and implementation teams
• Using AI tooling and automation to improve internal workflows and delivery efficiency

What They’re Looking For

You could come from a range of backgrounds, including:

• Forward Deployed Engineering
• Solutions Engineering
• Technical Consulting
• Implementation Engineering
• HR Tech / HCM Integrations
• Customer Engineering

Strong interest is expected from candidates with experience around:

• Workday
• UKG
• Dayforce
• SAP SuccessFactors
• HRIS/HCM integrations
• API integrations and workflow automation

You do not need to be a deep ML engineer or traditional software engineer, but you should be technically confident and comfortable:

• Reading API documentation
• Working with REST APIs and JSON
• Troubleshooting integrations
• Using Python for scripting/automation
• Operating in fast-moving startup environments
• Communicating directly with enterprise customers

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Opportunity to work at the forefront of agentic AI adoption in HR
• Highly visible customer-facing role with real ownership
• Strong blend of technical problem-solving and consulting
• Backed by leading venture investors
• Fast growth trajectory with significant customer expansion planned this year
• Competitive salary + meaningful equity upside

This is an excellent fit for someone who enjoys technical depth, customer interaction, workflow design, and solving real operational problems using AI — particularly within the HR/HCM ecosystem.
