Ready to make an impact at the company pioneering security transformation in the AI era? Join us at Zscaler.
We are looking for an AI Solutions Engineer, People & Culture to join our team. This is a remote US based role, reporting to the AI Transformation Director in the Global People & Culture Organization. Human Resources is being transformed around Human + AI optimization, and you will be the driving force behind this transformation. Part builder, part co-builder, and part teacher, you will spearhead our transition to an AI-native HR function by encoding the judgment of our best practitioners into safe, governed agents that seamlessly integrate with human ingenuity to unlock unprecedented outcomes.
What you’ll do (Role Expectations)
- Design, deploy, and continuously improve the most impactful and high-risk agents using Gemini agent builder, Claude, Codex, and MCP integrations, owning the full maturity path from initial prototype to a hardened, governed product
- Pair deeply with subject matter experts—from compensation analysts to recruiters—to build domain-specific agents, transferring your technical craft so they can independently maintain and evolve their own tools
- Redesign workflows from the inside out to ensure we solve fundamental process issues rather than simply automating a broken system
- Operate what you ship as a true product owner by monitoring adoption, diagnosing failures, and guiding stakeholders to turn skeptics into sponsors
- Partner closely with the AI Center of Excellence and Forward Deployed Engineering team to solve the hardest technical integration challenges on shared rails, as well as co-create mature governance standards
Who You Are (Success Profile)
- You are a “Figure-it-out” person who navigates ambiguity with ease and addresses fundamental process issues rather than bolting AI onto the current state
- You are technically fluent and a proven builder with a portfolio of shipped, adopted GenAI agents, hands-on with skills, MCPs, data, automations, prompt design, and evals
- You are a force multiplier who teaches as you work, measuring your success by the new capabilities you leave behind in others
- You are a champion of adoption and change management who brings stakeholders along and ensures deployments stick in real-world applications
- You are deeply aware of the risks associated with people data, building with care while defining the long-term playbook for an AI-native HR function
What We’re Looking for (Minimum Qualifications)
- Demonstrated hands-on experience building AI agents, automations, or tools that changed how real work gets done
- Technical fluency sufficient to design agents architecture and instructions, work with MCPs and governance systems, and evaluate outputs at the system level without needing engineering handholding.
- Track record of taking solutions from problem identification through real adoption while simultaneously upskilling others through training, enablement, or sustained co-working
- Highly autonomous, self-directed, and comfortable operating as a senior individual contributor in a domain being invented in real time
What Will Make You Stand Out (Preferred Qualifications)
- Sit at the rare intersection of engineering depth and HR practice, ensuring we avoid both technically correct agents that the field ignores and HR prototypes that do not scale
- Possess a deep understanding of how to balance cutting-edge agent building with the practical realities, risks, and sensitivities of HR operations
- Drawn to early-stage, high-impact opportunities and eager to be a primary author of the playbook for AI-native HR
