  • Orchestrate LLM-based agents using frameworks such as LangChain (or equivalent)
  • Develop scalable backend services and APIs using Python
  • Integrate AI agents with enterprise tools, APIs, and workflows
  • Evaluate, monitor, and optimize agent performance, reliability, and cost
  • Apply responsible AI principles including security, privacy, and governance
  • Stay current with advancements in LLMs, agent architectures, and Azure AI services

  • 5 years of experience in machine learning, AI engineering, or applied ML
  • Strong proficiency in Python for ML and backend development
  • Hands-on experience building LLM-based applications
  • Practical experience with agentic AI patterns (tool calling, planning, memory, reflection)
  • Experience with LangChain or similar agent orchestration frameworks
  • Solid understanding of RAG architectures
  • Experience with vector databases (e.g., Azure AI Search, Pinecone, etc.)
  • Familiarity with Azure cloud services and enterprise-grade deployments
  • Hands-on experience with MCP and/or A2A agent communication frameworks

Preferred Qualifications

  • Direct experience with Azure AI Foundry and Copilot Studio
  • Experience integrating AI agents into enterprise workflows or SaaS platforms
  • Knowledge of prompt engineering, evaluation frameworks, and guardrails
  • Experience with CI/CD, MLOps, or AI observability
  • Understanding of security, identity, and compliance in enterprise AI systems

Nice-to-Have
