This role is ideal for engineers who combine software engineering and data science expertise, have hands-on experience building GenAI applications, and can demonstrate how they've successfully moved AI solutions from proof-of-concept into production.
Engineers will work within small, agile AI pods consisting of a Lead AI Engineer and two AI Engineers focused on delivering business-critical AI capabilities.
Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and deploy AI agents and agentic workflows to solve real business challenges
• Build Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems, including data ingestion, retrieval, orchestration, and response generation
• Develop multi-agent and workflow orchestration solutions that leverage:
  • Tool calling
  • Memory management
  • Multi-step reasoning
  • Decision-making logic
• Partner with business stakeholders to understand workflows and identify automation opportunities
• Implement evaluation frameworks to monitor:
  • Accuracy
  • Reliability
  • Hallucination rates
  • User adoption and business impact
• Develop production-ready AI applications, APIs, and integrations
• Build monitoring, testing, and observability capabilities for AI systems
• Collaborate with AI Leads and cross-functional teams on architecture, best practices, and platform standardization
• Continuously leverage emerging AI capabilities and tools to improve development efficiency and accelerate solution delivery

Required Qualifications

• 3-6 years of experience in Software Engineering, Data Science, Machine Learning, or a related field
• Hands-on experience designing and building AI agents, copilots, or agentic workflows
• Demonstrated success deploying GenAI solutions into production environments
• Strong software engineering fundamentals with expertise in Python
• Experience building applications powered by Large Language Models (LLMs)
• Experience with workflow orchestration frameworks such as LangGraph, CrewAI, Semantic Kernel, AutoGen, or similar technologies
• Ability to clearly explain:
  • What was built
  • Why specific architectural decisions were made
  • How trust, accuracy, and reliability were established
• Strong problem-solving skills and a mindset of ownership and accountability
• Ability to work independently in a fast-paced, highly collaborative environment

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Microsoft AI technologies such as Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Foundry, Microsoft Copilot Studio, or Semantic Kernel
• Experience with vector databases and RAG architectures
• Experience working with enterprise data platforms such as Databricks, Snowflake, or Microsoft Fabric
• Familiarity with AI evaluation, experimentation, and observability tools such as LangSmith, MLflow, Arize, Weights & Biases, or similar platforms
• Understanding of machine learning, model performance evaluation, and MLOps concepts
• Experience integrating AI solutions into enterprise applications and business processes

What Makes Someone Successful
The ideal candidate demonstrates:

• Extreme ownership and accountability
• A builder mentality with a bias toward action
• Strong communication skills with both technical and business stakeholders
• Curiosity and a passion for applying AI to solve real-world business problems
