Job Description

Role summary
The Senior Staff Software Engineer (IC5) on HR Service Delivery sets and owns the technical direction for model-driven capability across the HR domain and the surfaces adjacent domains build on top of it. The work is agentic and conversational experiences that interpret an employee's, manager's, or HR agent's intent, reason over profile, case, catalog, policy, and knowledge context,



invoke tools, and act on the user's behalf — but the unit of ownership is the architecture, the standards, and the evaluation infrastructure that let multiple teams ship those experiences safely, not a set of features.
This is not a machine learning or AI research role; the engineer does not train foundation models. It is also distinct from traditional staff-level full-stack engineering, where systems follow deterministic logic rather than selecting execution paths at runtime. Two consequences shape the work. First, the most key logic often lives in natural language — instructions, prompts, tool descriptions, guardrails, escalation rules — which must be engineered, versioned, and reviewed with the same discipline as code, and which needs an architecture once more than one team is authoring it. Second, because behavior is probabilistic, correctness is established by measuring behavior at scale
