The role blends pro-code leadership with low-code evangelism, leveraging Copilot Studio and Azure AI Foundry to deliver enterprise-grade AI agents, with a focus on governance, observability, and responsible

Qualifications

8+ years of software engineering experience (Senior) or 12+ years (Principal), with at least 2 years focused on AI/ML systems, conversational AI, or agentic AI platforms.
Deep hands-on expertise with Copilot Studio, including both low-code authoring (topics, knowledge, actions, agent flows) and pro-code extension (custom connectors, Power Platform components, ALM).
Strong production experience with Azure AI Foundry (Azure OpenAI Service, Azure AI Search, Prompt Flow, Semantic Kernel, Azure AI Agent Service) building custom agentic applications.
Proficiency in at least two additional agent frameworks beyond the Microsoft ecosystem: LangChain/LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, or comparable orchestration frameworks.

Responsibilities

Design the integration layer between VF’s agent platforms and enterprise systems of record using custom connectors, APIs, MCP servers, and event-driven architectures.
Architect secure, performant RAG pipelines that ground VF’s agents in enterprise knowledge with proper chunking, embedding, indexing, and retrieval strategies.
Write production-quality code (TypeScript, Python, C#) for custom agents, orchestration logic, tool integrations, evaluation pipelines, and deployment automation on Azure AI Foundry.
Define and enforce VF’s agent quality standards across both pro-code and citizen-built agents: accuracy, hallucination tolerance, response SLAs, cost, and brand voice.
