Role Overview
We are looking for an AI Engineer with deep expertise in Pro-Code AI development to lead the architecture and implementation of enterprise-grade agentic systems.
In this role, you will design and build orchestration layers, governance guardrails, and custom interfaces that power autonomous business workflows.
The ideal candidate operates within the Microsoft AI Platform ecosystem and brings a strong software engineering mindset, with a focus on scalability, security (Citadel), and complex multi-agent orchestration.
Key Responsibilities
1. Agentic Orchestration & Design
- Architect and develop complex multi-agent systems using the Microsoft Agent Framework, integrating patterns from Semantic Kernel and AutoGen
- Implement Agent-to-Agent (A2A) communication and Model Context Protocol (MCP) to enable dynamic discovery and invocation of enterprise tools
- Design hybrid orchestration models, combining agentic reasoning (dynamic) with workflow orchestration (deterministic business logic)
2. AI Governance & Security (Citadel Layer)
- Deploy and manage the Foundry Citadel Platform to ensure unified governance, cost control, and observability across AI workloads
- Implement AI Gateway patterns to enforce enterprise policies, content safety (Prompt Shields), and managed guardrails
- Utilize agent-level tracing and automated evaluations to monitor performance and compliance in real time
3. Pro-Code Backend & Data Engineering
- Build robust RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines using Foundry IQ and Azure AI Search for high-accuracy, multi-hop reasoning
- Develop backend services in Python or C# (.NET) to act as the brain for AI agents, integrating with Microsoft Fabric and Dataverse
- Automate the AI lifecycle (LLMOps) using GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps for CI/CD of prompt flows and model deployments
4. UI & Frontend Integration
- Develop custom, responsive user interfaces using React or Streamlit for human-in-the-loop supervision and steering of AI agents
- Integrate agentic workflows into Microsoft Teams, custom web portals, or the VS Code AI Toolkit

Languages
- Advanced Python (FastAPI, Pydantic) and/or C# (.NET 8+)
Orchestration
- Microsoft Agent Framework, Semantic Kernel, or AutoGen
Platform
- Azure AI Foundry (Studio/Hub), Azure OpenAI Service
Governance & Security
- Citadel (Foundry Citadel Platform), Microsoft Purview, or AI Content Safety (preferred)
Data & Search
- Foundry IQ, Azure AI Search (Vector/Hybrid), Cosmos DB
Frontend Tools
- React.js, Tailwind CSS, and experience with streaming LLM responses
Developer Tooling
- VS Code AI Toolkit, GitHub Copilot, Prompt Flow
