Job description

Design and deploy sophisticated agentic workflows using Azure AI Foundry Agent Service and frameworks like Semantic Kernel, AutoGen, or LangGraph.
Work with large datasets to extract insights, build predictive models, and optimize AI algorithms.
Architect “fail-safe” systems that include human-in-the-loop (HITL) triggers, automated error recovery, and fallback logic to ensure business continuity.
Implement and optimize RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines using Vector Embeddings, Vector Caching, and Azure AI Search (vector and hybrid retrieval).
Utilize Model Context Protocol (MCP) to connect AI agents with external data sources, tools, and existing Azure and on-premises environments.
Mitigate data leakage risks and implement rigorous model output traceability and auditability logs to meet compliance standards.
Research and stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in Gen AI to apply innovative solutions.
Communicate findings and results to non-technical stakeholders and provide actionable insights.
Build automated monitoring for agentic flow performance, cost, and latency, utilizing Azure Monitor, Application Insights, and custom telemetry.
Ensure data privacy, responsible AI and security practices are upheld throughout the AI development process, leveraging Azure AI Content Safety, Entra ID and Microsoft Purview.
