Role
We are looking for a Staff AI Engineer, P&C Technology, for a hybrid location based in San Jose 3 days a week, reporting to the Director, Enterprise Systems Programming in the IT/Corporate Apps department. In this role, you will lead the evolution of our HR tech stack by blending deep Workday expertise with AI-driven development. You will leverage AI-assisted coding and agentic workflows to build automated solutions that solve complex People & Culture challenges and help us build seamless, intelligent employee experiences across our entire HR landscape.
What You’ll Do (Role Expectations)
- Own the full lifecycle of cross-platform People & Culture solutions, bridging systems like Workday, ServiceNow HRSD, and broader HR tooling to architect secure, scalable, and seamless employee experiences
- Spearhead the evaluation, design, and implementation of AI-driven HR solutions and leverage AI applications, AI-assisted coding practices, and multi-agent orchestration to accelerate development, optimize data mapping, and build robust automated workflows
- Serve as the senior subject matter expert and strategic partner to HR, Payroll, and IT executives, translating complex technical concepts and AI capabilities into actionable business value, ensuring optimal user experiences and cross-platform synergy
- Drive AI and P&C technology investments by developing data-driven business cases with clear ROI, defining key success metrics for adoption, and creating compelling presentations to communicate strategy and impact to executive leadership
- Develop and execute comprehensive implementation plans using agile methodologies, and design robust test plans and scripts to ensure all Workday integrations and custom AI applications are delivered on time, high-quality, and bug-free
Who You Are (Success Profile)
- You thrive in ambiguity, are comfortable building the path as you walk it, and see ambiguity not as a hindrance but as the raw material to build something meaningful.
- You are a learner who has a true growth mindset and never stops developing yourself, actively seeking feedback to become a better partner and a stronger teammate, and you love what you do with purpose.
- You are a pragmatic builder who is obsessed with creating, iterating, and shipping, and you aren't afraid to roll up your sleeves to build the first version yourself, balancing the drive for technical excellence with the need to deliver value to users quickly.
- You champion simplicity, are skilled at distilling complex problems, user needs, and technical concepts into clear, simple, and actionable plans, and you are a precise communicator who brings clarity and focus to every interaction.
- You are resilient and adaptable, viewing change as an opportunity and setbacks as temporary, maintaining composure and focus in high-pressure situations to guide yourself and your team through complexity with a steady, positive hand.
What We’re Looking For (Minimum Qualifications)
- 8+ years of software engineering or systems integration experience, including at least 4 years of proven architectural-level understanding of the Workday Integrations framework (Payroll Integrations, Core Connectors, EIBs, Workday Studio, and advanced reporting like BIRT or Custom RaaS APIs)
- Demonstrated experience integrating AI tools, Large Language Models (LLMs), or MCP frameworks into enterprise workflows
- Practical experience with AI prompting techniques and AI-assisted development practices for faster deployment of complex logic
- Proven ability to lead agile teams, manage vendor relationships, and thrive in a rapidly evolving, high-growth environment
- Demonstrated ability to build business cases, justify investments, and measure ROI of P&C technology solutions
What Will Make You Stand Out (Preferred Qualifications)
- Previous experience integrating modern ATS platforms like Greenhouse or managing ServiceNow HRSD modules with complex, AI-enabled agentic flows
- Deep knowledge of Workato or similar middleware, experience running IT operations for custom P&C applications, and familiarity with hyperscaler infrastructure such as AWS, GCP, or Azure
- Hands-on experience deploying AI agents within distinct HR processes, coupled with a strong background in UX and design thinking to ensure seamless, intuitive employee adoption

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Product Engineer Jobs at Zscaler Jobs
Align your background to zero trust engineering
Zscaler's Product Engineer roles are built around its Zero Trust Exchange platform. Framing your experience around network security, cloud-native infrastructure, or SaaS scalability will resonate far more than generic software engineering credentials.
Target product teams with open infrastructure work
Product Engineer openings at Zscaler span data plane, control plane, and platform reliability functions. Roles tied to core platform infrastructure tend to have stronger sponsorship precedent, so prioritize job descriptions that reference those areas.
Browse Zscaler openings filtered by sponsorship on Migrate Mate
Searching for sponsored Product Engineer roles manually is slow and inconsistent. Migrate Mate filters Zscaler's open positions by visa sponsorship eligibility, so you're only reviewing roles where international candidates are actively considered.
Request LCA filing details before your H-1B start date
Your employer must file a certified Labor Condition Application with the DOL before USCIS can adjudicate your H-1B petition. Ask your recruiter or HR contact to confirm the LCA is submitted well before your intended October 1 start date.
Prepare for specialty occupation documentation early
USCIS scrutinizes Product Engineer petitions where the degree requirement isn't clearly defined in the job description. Have your transcripts, degree equivalency evaluation if applicable, and employer support letter ready before the H-1B petition is drafted.

Find Product Engineer at Zscaler JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Zscaler sponsor H-1B visas for Product Engineers?
Yes, Zscaler sponsors H-1B visas for Product Engineers. The company has an established pattern of filing H-1B petitions for engineering roles across its platform and infrastructure teams. Because H-1B cap-subject petitions require selection in the annual lottery, timing your application and securing an offer before the March registration window is critical.
Which visa types are commonly used for Product Engineer roles at Zscaler?
H-1B is the most common pathway for Product Engineers at Zscaler. The company also sponsors E-3 visas for Australian citizens, TN visas for Canadian and Mexican nationals, and supports F-1 OPT and STEM OPT for recent graduates. Green Card sponsorship through EB-2 or EB-3 is available for qualifying employees after an initial period.
What qualifications does Zscaler expect for Product Engineer roles?
Zscaler's Product Engineer roles typically require a bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, electrical engineering, or a closely related field. Hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, or network security is heavily weighted. For H-1B sponsorship purposes, your degree must align directly with the specific engineering function in the job description.
How do I apply for Product Engineer jobs at Zscaler?
You can find and apply for sponsored Product Engineer positions at Zscaler through Migrate Mate, which filters listings by visa sponsorship eligibility so you're not wasting time on roles that won't support your visa. From there, applications go through Zscaler's standard recruiting process, which includes technical screening, system design rounds, and a final panel interview.
How do I plan my timeline for H-1B sponsorship at Zscaler?
H-1B cap-subject petitions have a fixed annual cycle. USCIS opens registration in March, conducts the lottery in late March, and approved petitions take effect October 1. To hit that window, you need an offer and a completed petition before the filing deadline. Starting your job search at Zscaler six to nine months before the March registration window gives you a realistic runway.
