Job Summary

We are seeking a talented and detail-oriented L3 Agentic Developer with strong hands-on Python experience and expertise in Microsoft Azure. This role will focus on designing, developing, and deploying robust, autonomous AI agents leveraging the latest agentic design patterns and cloud-native services. The ideal candidate will be a proactive problem-solver, adept at debugging complex systems, and knowledgeable about secure cloud principles.

Key Responsibilities

  • Agent Development: Design, build, and deploy sophisticated AI agents using Python and frameworks like LangGraph, implementing complex DAGs with conditional edges and autonomous tool-calling capabilities.
  • Azure Integration: Architect and implement solutions leveraging core Azure services, including deploying application logic via Azure Functions and integrating with monitoring tools such as Application Insights or Log Analytics Workspace (LAW).
  • Secure Infrastructure: Implement secure cloud practices, including managing service principles, user principles, and Managed Identities for secure, credential-free service interaction.
  • Debugging & Troubleshooting: Utilize strong debugging skills to identify and resolve complex issues across local environments and cloud deployments, proficient with integrated debuggers and console-based methods.
  • Prompt Engineering: Apply advanced prompt engineering techniques, understanding trade-offs between different methods (e.g., few-shot prompting, chain-of-thought, tool schema provision) to optimize LLM performance and reliability.
  • Design Patterns: Drive the adoption of agentic design patterns, specifically implementing the "LLM as a decision maker" pattern where the model dynamically selects and executes tools based on provided schema and context.

Skill Requirements

  • Experience: Proven hands-on experience as a Python Developer building production-grade applications.
  • Cloud Proficiency: Strong experience with Cloud platforms, preferably Microsoft Azure (AWS or GCP experience is also valued).
  • Technical Skills:
    • Proficiency with AI orchestration frameworks such as LangGraph.

    • Deep understanding of secure identity management within cloud environments (Service Principals, Managed Identities).
    • Expert-level debugging skills in various environments.
  • AI Knowledge: Demonstrated understanding of prompt engineering techniques and core agentic design patterns.

Preferred (Good to Have) Qualifications:

  • Development Tools: Familiarity with the VS Code IDE environment.
  • Cloud Networking: Knowledge of Azure networking components (VNets, Subnets, DNS configurations).
  • DevOps/IaC: Experience creating simple CI/CD pipelines or managing infrastructure as code using Bicep or Terraform.
  • Performance Optimization: Experience with Python asynchronous programming (asyncio), multi-processing, or multi-threading concepts.
  • Emerging Tech: Awareness of concepts like the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
