Business Intelligence team in our
New York, NY location.JOB RESPONSIBILITIES:
Hands-On Agentic Build & Prototyping - Personally design and implement agentic automation solutions using:
- Power Automate (Cloud)
- Power Automate Desktop (Attended & Unattended)
- Copilot Studio (reasoning, orchestration, decisioning)
- Azure AI Foundry + Playwright (for advanced browser automation)
- Python as needed
- Build production-grade agents that:
- Ingest structured and semi-structured data (Airtable, CSV, SharePoint, APIs)
- Reason over incomplete or messy inputs using LLMs
- Execute actions in complex web UIs with dynamic selectors
- Verify success via OCR, screenshot validation, and state-based confirmation
- Prototype "last-mile" automations where APIs are unavailable, and human work still dominates.
Agentic Architecture & Implementation Strategy - Define the enterprise reference architecture for computer-use agents, including:
- When to use Power Automate Desktop vs Azure AI Foundry
- Standards for reasoning loops vs scripted flows
- Criteria for attended, unattended, and fully serverless agents
- Establish repeatable patterns such as:
- Trigger → Reason → Act → Verify → Recover loops
- Exception escalation to humans via Teams
- Evidence-capture and auditability by design
- Translate business processes into agent-first operating models, not just automated tasks
Governance, Reliability & Scale - Own standards for:
- Agent reliability and recovery behavior
- Credential handling, session isolation, and browser hygiene
- Change management for brittle UIs and downstream system shifts
- Hosting, Frameworks, Source Control
- Partner with Security, Risk, and Compliance to ensure agents operate within approved boundaries.
