Collaborate with architects, software engineers, data engineers, and business stakeholders to translate requirements into AI-powered software solutions.
Key Responsibilities:
Build Generative AI & Retrieval-Augmented Generation LLM Applications for text generation, summarization, Q&A, conversational AI, enterprise knowledge search, and multi-agent orchestration
Develop advanced RAG pipelines using embeddings, Azure AI Search vector and hybrid retrieval, document chunking, metadata filtering, reranking, citations, and grounding techniques with enterprise data
Build secure, reliable integrations between AI agents and enterprise tools, REST APIs, relational databases, and event-driven services
Develop and maintain user-facing AI application experiences using React and TypeScript, and supporting application services using Node.js or comparable back-end technologies
Design and implement single-agent and multi-agent systems for intelligent automation, decisioning, and complex workflows
Build autonomous and human-in-the-loop agents that plan, reason, act, and interact with tools, APIs, enterprise data, and event-driven systems
Develop agentic workflows using Microsoft Agent Framework, Azure AI Foundry services, or comparable modern orchestration frameworks
Implement configuration-driven agent behavior, prompt and tool management, authorization boundaries, and resilient error-handling patterns
Define and automate evaluation approaches for agent quality, including groundedness, relevance, citation quality, safety, and regression testing
Instrument agent workflows for traces, tool calls, latency, token usage, errors, and operational metrics using OpenTelemetry, Application Insights, or comparable observability platforms
Build highly scalable, secure, containerized solutions with CI/CD, health checks, horizontal scaling, and production monitoring
Required Qualifications:
Bachelor's degree (or international equivalent) and 8+ years of relevant software engineering experience
2-3 years of hands-on Generative AI, LLM application, or Agentic AI solution development experience
Strong software engineering background with experience designing and deploying production-grade cloud applications
Experience building front-end applications with React and TypeScript, and back-end services with Node.js or comparable application frameworks
Hands-on experience building Generative AI and RAG applications with Azure AI Foundry, Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Search, LLM APIs, embeddings, vector or hybrid search, knowledge retrieval, grounding, and citations
Experience with Agentic AI frameworks such as Microsoft Agent Framework, Semantic Kernel, LangGraph, AutoGen, or comparable orchestration frameworks
Experience evaluating and improving agent quality, including prompt engineering, test datasets, LLM-based evaluation, safety checks, and production feedback loops
Strong knowledge of LLMOps, CI/CD, containerization (Docker and Kubernetes), observability, and production operations for AI applications
Good understanding of RESTful API principles, asynchronous application patterns, secure integrations, relational databases, SQL, and data-access patterns
Experience working in an enterprise environment with large-scale, secure AI deployments, including identity, authorization, data privacy, compliance, and production monitoring
