• Develop and implement Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines and advanced prompt and context engineering strategies.
• Design and implement multi-agent systems using orchestration frameworks such as CrewAI, Semantic Kernel or LangGraph.
• Integrate Agentic AI into business workflows and collaborate with data engineers to bring agentic capabilities to production.
• Implement LLM evaluation pipelines to assess output quality, accuracy and safety.
• Apply responsible AI principles including fairness, transparency and auditability, particularly for regulated public sector environments.
• Apply AI safety, guardrails and output validation controls to ensure robust, compliant production deployments.
• Evaluate and recommend emerging GenAI tools and agentic frameworks for client applicability, driving innovation within the team.

• 2+ years’ experience in AI engineering, software development or data science, with a strong recent focus on GenAI and LLMs.
• Hands-on experience with GenAI orchestration frameworks and cloud platforms, including Azure AI Foundry, CrewAI, LangChain, Semantic Kernel, Hugging Face and Azure ML Studio.
• Strong capability in prompt and context engineering, RAG pipeline design, and LLMOps, including tooling such as PromptFlow, LangSmith, prompt versioning and LLM cost management.
• Experience working with Azure data and analytics services, including Data Factory, Data Lake, Synapse Analytics and Azure SQL Database.
• Strong programming skills (Python, C# or similar), with experience using Azure DevOps/GitHub CI/CD, and working across the software development lifecycle, including access control, audit logging, documentation, knowledge transfer and training.
• Knowledge and experience of the following would be advantageous:
• Experience deploying AI solutions on Azure, including Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Foundry and Azure ML Studio, with familiarity using Microsoft Copilot Studio.
• Experience with ML and AI engineering toolchains, including MLflow, Databricks CLI, automated retraining pipelines, drift detection, MLSecOps, and LLM evaluation frameworks (e.g. RAGAS, DeepEval) alongside AI safety tooling (Azure Content Safety, Guardrails AI).
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform, Bicep or ARM Templates to provision, manage and version cloud resources.
• Familiarity with agentic AI and ML technologies, including MCP (Model Context Protocol), tool-use patterns, Computer Vision (OCR/object recognition), core ML frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch, Scikit-learn).
