• Comfort with CI/CD in Azure DevOps, automated testing, and observability.

Preferred Qualifications (Nice to Have)

• Python experience for AI orchestration, data processing, and tooling.
• Hands-on with LLM/LRM platforms and APIs (e.g., OpenAI/Azure OpenAI; experience evaluating models, latency/cost tradeoffs, and prompt engineering).
• Experience with agentic AI frameworks/patterns (e.g., tool use/function calling, multi-step planning, memory, and guardrails).
• Knowledge of vector databases/indices and embeddings (e.g., pgvector, Azure AI Search, FAISS, Pinecone) and building RAG pipelines.

Skills

• Core: C#, .NET Core, .NET Framework (legacy), JavaScript/TypeScript, SQL Server/T-SQL
