Experience developing applications in Microsoft Azure.

Experience working with REST APIs, JSON, and application integrations.

Understanding of AI and machine learning concepts such as:

• o Large Language Models (LLMs)
• o Prompt engineering
• o Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
• o Model training vs. inference
• o Embeddings and vector search
• o AI model evaluation and monitoring

Familiarity with Azure AI services, Azure OpenAI, Azure Functions, Azure App Services, or similar Azure technologies.

Experience with Git and modern software development practices.

Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.

Excellent communication and collaboration abilities.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience building generative AI or Copilot-style solutions.
• Experience with LangChain, Semantic Kernel, AutoGen, or similar AI frameworks.
• Experience with Azure AI Search or vector databases.
• Understanding of data pipelines and ETL processes.
• Exposure to machine learning frameworks such as Scikit-learn, PyTorch, or TensorFlow.
• Experience deploying AI solutions into production environments.
