[Hiring] People Systems Engineer @Nscale

Role Description

Nscale is building an AI-native People function. As a People Systems Engineer, you’ll build the custom tools, integrations, and AI agents that make our People platforms work as one system and help our teams support a growing global workforce. This is a greenfield opportunity to shape how we build.

• Independently design, build, and support custom People tools, applications, and services.
• Develop agentic workflows and People capabilities for Nscale’s shared employee agent, taking emerging models and AI tooling from experimentation into production.
• Build integrations and automations across Workday, Greenhouse, and adjacent systems, connecting employee lifecycle processes around authoritative data sources.
• Partner with Security and Corporate Engineering on reusable access services for applications and agents, enforcing user permissions and business approval requirements, and capturing audit evidence.
• Make technical design and build-versus-buy decisions through shared architecture and security reviews, accounting for existing capabilities and total cost of ownership.
• Own delivery from design through business acceptance, release, evaluation, and ongoing support, retiring redundant tools and manual processes as capabilities mature.

Qualifications

• A track record of independently shipping and supporting custom applications, enterprise integrations, or automation solutions.
• Strong technical skills across application development, APIs, data flows, and automation tooling, with judgment about when to configure, integrate, or build.
• Demonstrated ability to build production-grade LLM applications and tool-using AI agents, with hands-on experience using integration protocols such as MCP to integrate agents with enterprise systems.
• Practical Workday expertise across integrations, security, business processes, and workforce data, supported by a working knowledge of the employee lifecycle.
• Ability to translate ambiguous needs into maintainable solutions, secure access patterns, and achievable delivery commitments.
• Clear communication with engineers, People partners, and senior stakeholders about architecture, trade-offs, total cost of ownership, and risk.

Outcomes You’ll Own

• Greater operational capacity through custom tooling, automation, and agent-led self-service, measured by successful task completion and reduced manual effort.
• Useful AI capabilities in production, with performance measured against defined success criteria, appropriate guardrails, and effective human escalation.
• Trusted workforce data and secure access across connected systems, with clear authority, enforced permissions, and traceable actions.
• Reliable services and predictable delivery, measured against published service levels, agreed dates, and measurable business impact.
• A simpler, supportable technology estate, with reusable capabilities, fewer redundant tools, understood operating costs, and clear ownership.

Benefits

• Highly competitive US compensation package (base + bonus + equity), with performance reviews every 12 months.
• Join one of the fastest-growing AI infrastructure companies — your chance to directly shape how global AI capacity is planned and deployed.
• Expect a dynamic progression plan tailored to your ambitions. Grow by leading critical cross-functional initiatives and shaping capital strategy — always with our full support.
• Human-First Flexibility: We treat you as humans first. Our flexible workplace trusts Nscalers to deliver, giving you the autonomy to shape your day around life's moments.
