MSCI's HR Technology team builds and operates the platforms and applications that support approximately 6,300 employees across global offices. The team runs a modern HR data platform on Azure Databricks and is actively building an agentic application layer on top of it — intelligent tools for recruiting, compensation, position management, HR operations, and more.
The team's philosophy is practitioner-grounded: build things that work, ship them to real users, learn from how they are used, and improve. We use Anthropic Claude as our primary AI model, Databricks as our application and intelligence platform, and Workday and iCIMS as our core HR systems of record. We are early in an ambitious build cycle. The right engineer will find this genuinely exciting.
This is an application and AI engineering role, not a data engineering role. The Lead Software Engineer, HR Technology builds intelligent solutions — conversational agents, workflow automation, and HR applications — that change how MSCI's 6,300 employees experience HR.
The platform those solutions run on is Azure Databricks. But the job is building things people use, not building pipelines.
You are a senior engineer who has shipped production software and is comfortable taking ownership of complex, ambiguous problems. You know how to work with AI models — prompt them, integrate them, build reliable agent workflows around them — and you know how to deliver applications that non-technical users can actually navigate. You bring engineering rigor to a space that is moving quick and has real business stakes.
This role sits at the center of MSCI HR Technology's AI agenda. The HR Data Platform is live. The intelligence layer is being built now. You will be a primary builder of it.
