About The Position
Dayforce is building a next-generation Agent Platform to power intelligent automation, AI-driven workflows, and tool-enabled execution across our product ecosystem. We are seeking a Senior Software Developer to design and build core services that enable secure, scalable, and observable AI agent execution. This role focuses on deep technical implementation, platform reliability, and enabling other engineering teams to successfully integrate with Agent Platform capabilities. The ideal candidate is a strong hands-on engineer who thrives in distributed systems environments and enjoys solving complex backend and infrastructure challenges.
Requirements
- 5–8+ years of experience building and operating distributed systems in production
- Experience integrating large language models (LLMs) into applications or services
- Strong backend development experience (TypeScript, C#, Go or similar)
- Experience designing RESTful or event-driven APIs
- Hands-on experience with containerized infrastructure (e.g., Kubernetes)
- Strong understanding of secure service design and authentication patterns
- Experience implementing observability practices (logging, metrics, tracing)
- Demonstrated ownership of features from design through production
- Proficiency in English is required for this position as this role will regularly interact with English-speaking stakeholders, co-workers, managers and/or clients across the world. Further, our back office support teams, including but not limited to Human Resources, are primarily English speaking. Employees need to be able to communicate with these departments in English to appropriately administer their business relationship. Due to the significant high volume of interactions with these English-speaking co-workers, managers, stakeholders and/or clients, which is inherent to this position, it is not possible to reorganize the company's activities to avoid this requirement.
