Job description

At Synechron, we believe in the power of digital to transform businesses for the better. Our global consulting firm combines creativity and innovative technology to deliver industry-leading digital solutions. Synechron’s progressive technologies and optimization strategies span end-to-end Artificial Intelligence, Consulting, Digital, Cloud & DevOps, Data, and Software Engineering, servicing an array of noteworthy financial services and technology firms.

Additional Information*

The base salary for this position will vary based on geography and other factors. In accordance with law, the base salary for this role if filled within New Jersey $130k - $140k/year & benefits (see below).

Required Qualifications

• Proven experience building agentic or multi-agent AI systems that run in production and serve real users — working systems, not demonstrations.
• Strong command of state management, concurrency, idempotency and authorisation for systems that act on a system of record on behalf of many users.
• Hands-on integration experience with enterprise APIs and data platforms, including designing safe read and write paths and handling failure gracefully.
• Working knowledge of modern AI application patterns — retrieval-augmented generation, prompt and context design, agent orchestration, tool use and protocols such as MCP.
• Strong, hands‑on command of a major cloud platform, ideally Azure — able to independently provision, configure, deploy, secure and operate cloud resources, owning an application end to end rather than only consuming pre‑built services.
• Demonstrated ability to prototype rapidly, using AI‑assisted development and fast iteration to turn a loosely defined idea into something usable in days.
• The judgement and autonomy of a senior individual contributor — able to make sound architecture and feasibility calls alone, under time pressure, and explain them to non‑technical stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications

• Direct experience with Microsoft Fabric — Lakehouse, Warehouse, Data Factory, Real‑Time Intelligence, Power BI and OneLake — or a comparable enterprise data platform.
• Experience with Microsoft Copilot Studio, Power Platform, Azure AI Foundry, or agent‑builder platforms such as Lyzr or Moveworks.
• Integration experience with major Corporate Function systems of record — for example Oracle HCM, SAP, Workday, Salesforce, Dynamics 365 or ServiceNow.
• Familiarity with enterprise governance concerns: identity and access management, data classification and residency, responsible AI policy, and evaluation of model output.
• A background that blends software engineering with consulting, business transformation or a Corporate Function discipline.
• Experience delivering in short, iterative cycles directly with non‑technical business stakeholders.
• Hands‑on experience with Agentic AI is a Must‑Have.
• Most relevant candidates hands‑on with MS technologies, Azure and Microsoft’s Agentic AI suite
• Good communication skills is a must‑have since this individual will be directly working with business teams

We offer:

• A highly competitive compensation and benefits package.
• A multinational organization with 58 offices in 21 countries and the possibility to work abroad.
• 10 days of paid annual leave (plus sick leave and national holidays).
• Maternity & paternity leave plans.
• A comprehensive insurance plan including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, and long‑/short‑term disability (plans vary by region).
• Retirement savings plans.
• A higher education certification policy.
• Commuter benefits (varies by region).
• Extensive training opportunities, focused on skills, substantive knowledge, and personal development.
• On‑demand Udemy for Business for all Synechron employees with free access to more than 5000 curated courses.
• Coaching opportunities with experienced colleagues from our Financial Innovation Labs (FinLabs) and Center of Excellences (CoE) groups.
• Cutting edge projects at the world’s leading tier‑one banks, financial institutions and insurance firms.
• A flat and approachable organization.
• A truly diverse, fun‑loving, and global work culture.
