AI Agents Solutions Architect - HR

Responsibilities

• Design and deploy AI-powered HR solutions.
• Architect and build agentic workflows using n8n, Claude API, Python, and MCP that take real actions in HR processes with appropriate human oversight and approval gates.
• Build multi-agent systems with tool use, function calling, and multi-step reasoning that connect fragmented HR tools (HRIS, ATS, payroll, ticketing) into coherent, end-to-end workflows.
• Build error handling, audit trails, payroll-calendar awareness, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints into every production system before deployment.
• Ensure all automations comply with data classification requirements for employee PII, regulated data, and cross-jurisdictional privacy obligations.

Governance and Risk Ownership

• Classify all automation builds by risk tier before work begins. No build goes to production without a named Process Owner, documented data flows, and access controls confirmed.
• Maintain audit logging and documentation for all systems touching regulated employee data or payroll-adjacent workflows.
• Halt or redesign builds that introduce unacceptable payroll, legal, or data privacy risk. Own that decision and get organizational acceptance before proceeding.
• Serve as the HRKX domain representative in contributing to governance standards and cross-functional build alignment.

Capability Multiplication

• Produce documentation, workflow templates, and runbooks that HRKX professionals can use and maintain without technical support.
• Train People team members on AI-assisted tools and workflows deployed in production. Drive adoption, not just delivery.
• Track and report on automation impact: manual hours eliminated, error rates reduced, payroll exceptions avoided, and capacity unlocked for strategic HR work.
• Act as a force multiplier for the HR KX team, enabling HR professionals to focus on high-value advisory and people judgment work through process, technology, and AI enablement.

• Demonstrated hands-on experience designing and deploying AI-powered or automated workflows in a production environment used by others.
• Deep working knowledge of Workday, including job change workflows, worker conversions, EIB data uploads, integration architecture, and payroll dependencies.
