About the Team

About the Team

At Workday, we bring technical rigor, customer empathy, and a spirit of fun to enterprise software. Our support team underpins operational excellence across Workday's digital experience, AI/ML platform, and Agent Factory initiative. Workday’s Agent Factory is our internal engine that builds, trains, and deploys autonomous AI agents to execute complex HR and Finance workflows, including expense processing, hiring, and workforce scheduling. We partner with core engineering to eliminate bottlenecks, maintain high platform availability, and ensure system reliability for our global customer base.

About the Role

We are seeking a customer-focused Senior Associate Support Analyst to drive incident resolution, root-cause analysis (RCA), and operational optimization across Workday’s enterprise platform and autonomous AI agent workflows. In this high-visibility role, you will analyze system metrics, investigate cloud-hosted ML service pipelines, evaluate LLM orchestration layers, and manage critical customer escalations within strict SLAs. You will also partner directly with engineering and data science teams to inform feature iteration and product optimizations. A key part of this role involves evaluating AI quality: reviewing chat histories and AI responses to spot mistakes, figure out why they happened, and turn those insights into simple improvements that make the AI clearer, smarter, and more reliable.

• Enterprise SaaS & Functional Domain Knowledge: Develop a foundational understanding of enterprise SaaS workflows (including Finance, HR, and Payroll) to assist in validating AI logic and verifying expected system behaviour.

• AI Concepts: Review AI chat logs and execution outputs to spot incorrect answers, hallucinations, or misunderstandings. Document findings and recurring patterns to support senior team members and engineering in refining prompt logic.

• Technical Troubleshooting: Utilize established troubleshooting playbooks, diagnostic dashboards, and monitoring tools to reproduce reported issues, gather relevant logs, and isolate basic software bugs.

• Technical Acumen: Run basic database queries (SQL), review application logs, and inspect API payloads to verify data flow, check system state, and assist with basic cloud workflow troubleshooting.

• Customer Advocacy: Monitor and respond to incoming support queues, maintain strict SLA commitments, and communicate clearly with users. Provide empathetic, plain-language updates to customers while issues are being investigated.

• Incident & Queue Management: Perform initial queue triage, classify issue severity, and route high-impact (P1) incidents to senior analysts or engineering teams using defined escalation pathways. Participate in weekend and holiday on-call rotations with team support.
