Indexing Chunking Visionary Innovation Vibe Coding Microsoft Azure Product Support Semantic Search Customer Service Customer Support Machine Learning Help Desk Support Inventory Staging Prompt Engineering Search Technologies Software Engineering Knowledge Management Artificial Intelligence Technical Documentation Large Language Modeling Search Engine Optimization Engineering Design Process Retrieval Augmented Generation Large Language Model Evaluation Applications Of Artificial Intelligence, We are seeking a hands-on Azure AI Engineer to optimize and enhance an existing Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) application built within the Microsoft Azure AI ecosystem. The core architecture and infrastructure are already in place and are approximately 80% functional. Your primary goal will be to improve retrieval accuracy, response quality, and overall performance for a customer-facing knowledge application used by a product support organization. This is a technical execution role focused on building, tuning, and refining RAG solutions, rather than AI architecture or strategy., * Optimize and refine an existing RAG implementation built in Azure AI Foundry to improve performance and reliability.

• Improve retrieval accuracy, ranking, reranking, and context selection to deliver more relevant responses for customer-facing use cases.
• Configure and enhance document ingestion pipelines, including chunking strategies, metadata tagging, indexing approaches, and search optimization techniques.
• Evaluate and tune development and staging environments to improve response quality and system performance.
• Work with large document sets such as manuals, specifications, and technical documentation to improve retrieval effectiveness and coverage.
• Enhance prompt engineering techniques and context window strategies to increase first-response accuracy and reduce the need for follow-up queries.
• Collaborate with business and technical teams to understand requirements and implement a backlog of planned enhancements and improvements.
• Test and validate retrieval and response quality using real-world customer support scenarios and knowledge application use cases.
• Continuously monitor, analyze, and iterate on RAG pipeline performance to ensure ongoing optimization of search relevance and response quality., Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI): We may use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to support parts of our hiring process, including sourcing, screening, and evaluating candidates. AI helps assess applications and qualifications, but final decisions are made by our hiring team. By applying, you acknowledge and agree that your application may be reviewed using AI tools.
