Why we read it this way (8)
No work location or metro is specified in the posting; the role appears to be remote/location-agnostic based on the consulting/professional-services context and absence of any office requirement.
SOC classification is genuinely ambiguous. The role blends enterprise solution architecture (15-1211), applied AI/ML engineering (15-2051), and Workday-specific consulting that doesn't map cleanly to any single SOC. 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the best fit for a hybrid Workday AI architect/practice lead; 15-1211 is the closest runner-up.
The '8+ years' requirement is explicitly tied to the Workday ecosystem, so it is captured both as the overall years minimum and as the years demanded on the Workday skill.
Workday HCM and Workday Payroll are listed as required domain areas ('HCM, Payroll, Time & Absence, and/or Finance') under Qualifications; Time & Absence and Finance are also named but the 'and/or' framing means not all are individually hard-gated — HCM and Payroll are the most commonly cited pair and are marked required as representative gates.
Agentic AI system patterns (tool use, RAG, context management, memory, guardrails) are required under Qualifications; RAG is the only specifically named technology and is marked required. The broader agentic/LLM requirement is captured via the LLMs skill.
Workday Illuminate, Workday Extend, Workday API integrations, and partner ecosystem tools (Paradox, Evisort, Sana) appear under Preferred or in narrative/context sections and are marked preferred accordingly.
Reinforcement learning, multi-agent systems, and an AI/ML engineering background are listed under the Preferred section and are not captured as named tools (they are methodologies/backgrounds rather than concrete named technologies).
No compensation range is stated in the posting.
