Senior Associate Software Development Engineer

About the Team

Your work days are brighter here.

Sana, owned by Workday, is an AI lab building superintelligence for work. We believe organizations can accomplish their missions faster when teams can effortlessly access knowledge, automate repetitive work, and learn anything with the help of agentic AI. As part of Workday, we are committed to building AI that augments people – not replaces them. We’re a talent-dense, product-obsessed team of engineers and designers united by deep technical excellence and rapid iteration. Our tools already help over a million people learn and work better across hundreds of leading enterprises – and we’re just getting started.

We bring this mission to life through two products. Sana Agents provide a seamless way to access all your company’s apps, knowledge, and data, enabling AI agents to do real work so teams can process and act on information at unprecedented scale. Sana Learn is an AI-powered learning hub that combines the simplicity of a modern learning platform with intelligent features like an AI tutor, automated content generation, and interactive apps, making knowledge not just accessible but actionable.
