This role offers career growth, deepening business and technical skills, and expertise in solution design and deployment. You'll guide customers in secure, scalable solutions, influence technical decisions, and accelerate AI application deployment workflows. Ultimately, you'll help modernize applications and realize the full value of Microsoft's AI platform, with flexible work opportunities.

As a trusted advisor, you'll guide customers in designing secure, scalable solutions, influence technical decisions, and help integrate AI applications and agents into their workflows. Your goal is to modernize applications using AI and maximize Microsoft's platform value.

Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and organization to achieve more. We foster a growth mindset, innovation, collaboration, and a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive.

Qualifications

• Proven experience in technical pre-sales or consulting, with a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, IT, or related field, and some years of relevant experience, or a Master's Degree with relevant experience, or equivalent experience.
• Expertise in full stack application architecture design, modernization, and cloud-native development (e.g., APIs, containerization, microservices, event-driven architectures, Python, Java, .NET).
• Expertise in AI & ML models, including frameworks like Agentic AI, AI Foundry, Semantic Kernel, Foundry SDK, Responsible AI, fine-tuning, and inference.
• Proven ability to lead technical engagements like hackathons, PoCs, and MVPs that deliver production-scale results.

Responsibilities

• Drive technical sales with decision makers through demos and PoCs, influencing solution design and enabling deployment.
• Lead hands-on engagements such as hackathons, coding sessions, and architecture workshops to promote Microsoft’s developer tools and cloud platforms.
• Build trusted relationships with developers and platform leads, co-designing secure, scalable architectures and solutions.
• Resolve technical blockers and objections, collaborating with engineering teams to improve products.
• Maintain deep expertise in AI Foundry & application architecture (Agentic AI, Semantic Kernel, Foundry SDK, Responsible AI) and cloud-native development (APIs, containerization, microservices, event-driven, Python, Java, .NET).
• Expand expertise in AI Management & Security (Gen AI Ops, Sentinel, orchestrator, monitoring).
• Represent Microsoft in developer communities and customer forums as a thought leader.
