Job Summary

We are seeking a hands-on AI Engineer to design, build, and deliver solutions using .NET and Python, with practical experience in Azure AI Foundry, Model Context Protocol (MCP), and agent-assisted SDLC patterns.

This is an execution-focused role. You will spend most of your time writing code, integrating agents, and shipping AI-enabled features (rather than defining long-term strategy or serving solely as an architect). AI agents accelerate development, while engineering ownership and validation remain with the team.

Key Responsibilities

Agentic SDLC Implementation (Execution-Focused)

  • Implement agent-assisted development workflows using Azure AI Foundry Agent Service.
  • Consume or build MCP-compliant tools to expose internal services to agents in a standardized way.
  • Apply agentic patterns to accelerate delivery while ensuring:
    • Pull requests are reviewed by engineers.
    • CI/CD pipelines remain unchanged.
    • Security and quality gates are not bypassed.

Application and Service Development

  • Develop and maintain backend services and APIs using .NET.
  • Write Python/C#  code for AI integration, automation, and orchestration.
  • Use agent assistance for refactoring, test scaffolding, and documentation generation.
  • Fix defects, improve code quality, and enhance existing services.

Quality, Security, and Governance

  • Ensure all AI-assisted output goes through:
    • Code review
    • Unit and integration testing
    • CI/CD pipelines
  • Follow established coding standards and SDLC practices.
    • Add logging and traceability for agent interactions.

Skill Requirements

Core Engineering

  • Strong hands-on experience with C#/.NET (APIs, services, microservices).
  • Strong hands-on experience with Python.
  • Experience working in an enterprise SDLC (Git, pull requests, builds, releases).
  • Ability to independently implement features and deliver tasks end to end.

AI, MCP, and Agentic Development

  • Practical experience using Azure AI Foundry to build or consume AI agents.
  • Experience integrating MCP-based tools or services.
  • Experience with agent-assisted development (coding, testing, or automation).
  • Understanding that agents assist engineers and do not replace review or ownership.
  • Experience with Azure DevOps or GitHub CI/CD.
  • Exposure to test automation or legacy code refactoring.
  • Familiarity with multi-agent or tool-orchestrated systems.
  • Demonstrated project delivery experience beyond proofs of concept (POCs) or demos.
