Roles and Responsibilities- Design, build, customize, and deploy AI models, agents, copilots, and multi-agent systems for enterprise use.
- Develop agentic workflows and implement prompt orchestration patterns for production-ready solutions using Python, Azure AI Foundry, Claude Code, and related enterprise AI platforms.
- Design and develop Python-based enterprise applications, backend services, automation components, and reusable modules using modern software engineering practices.
- Build and maintain scalable application services, integrations, and data access layers with a focus on performance, reliability, and observability.
- Build and integrate Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers to allow agents to safely query databases and execute APIs.
- Select and fine-tune Large Language Models (LLMs) via the Azure AI Foundry Model Catalog. Implement end-to-end tracing, monitoring, and quality evaluations for operational safety
- Develop Python-driven Retrieval-Augmented Generation pipelines that integrate enterprise data sources, embeddings, and vector stores.
- Perform prompt engineering, model tuning, evaluation, and monitoring to continuously improve solution quality.
- Develop and expose enterprise services through APIs and application components deployed on Azure, integrating AI capabilities into business platforms and developer workflows.
- Implement CI/CD pipelines and support the end-to-end lifecycle of AI and data solutions in production.
- Ensure compliance with security, privacy, and regulatory standards through role-based access, logging, and audit controls.
- Create and maintain documentation for solution architecture, data flows, operational procedures, and supportability.
