Monitor performance, troubleshoot complex issues, and ensure solutions remain reliable and maintainable.
Develop and maintain documentation, test cases, and operational playbooks for long-term support.
Ensure all development activities align with security and compliance best practices.
Stay current on automation trends, AI integration techniques, and emerging tools to continuously evolve practices and solutions.

Proven experience designing and deploying automation solutions using RPA tools (e.g., Power Automate, UiPath) or custom frameworks.
Hands-on experience building generative AI solutions using platforms like Microsoft Copilot Studio, Azure AI Foundry, or equivalent.
Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, JavaScript, or C#, and familiarity with modern dev tools (e.g., Cursor, Windsurf).
Strong practical knowledge of leading LLMs (OpenAI, Gemini, Grok, Claude), with expertise in prompt engineering and managing conversational context.
Experience working with relational databases (e.g., Microsoft SQL Server) and understanding of data integration concepts.
Familiarity with DevOps practices and CI/CD pipelines using tools like Azure DevOps.
Excellent analytical, communication, and collaboration skills, with the ability to bridge technical and business perspectives.

Why Join Us

Be part of a growing, forward-thinking team focused on real-world AI impact.
