• Design and build AI-powered agents and multi-step automation workflows
• Develop Python-based services and automation pipelines for production use
• Integrate AI solutions with internal systems using APIs and event‑driven architectures
• Build reusable components such as connectors, tools, and integration layers
• Ensure solutions are scalable, maintainable, and production-ready
• Contribute to engineering standards, best practices, and technical direction
• Support and mentor junior engineers as the team grows
• Translate business requirements into practical, working technical solutions

Required Skills & Experience

• Strong experience building automation solutions or internal tools
• Hands‑on experience with Power Platform / Microsoft automation technologies
• Exposure to AI / Copilot / LLM‑driven workflows (beyond basic usage)
• Experience working with APIs and system integrations
• Some experience with Python (or a strong willingness to develop further)
• Ability to operate in a hands‑on, delivery-focused environment
• Strong communication skills with the ability to translate technical concepts to non‑technical stakeholders
• Experience mentoring or supporting more junior team members

Why Join?

• Be part of a greenfield AI capability within an established organisation
• Work on real-world problems with immediate impact on operations
• Move beyond traditional automation into AI‑driven engineering
• Gain exposure to cutting‑edge tools across the Microsoft ecosystem
• Influence how AI is adopted and scaled across the business
• Clear opportunity to grow into a leadership position as the team expands
