Occasional Travel May Be Required For This Position.

Salary Range: $130-160k (Exact compensation may vary).

Responsibilities

• Design and develop AI-powered solutions using Microsoft Azure services, including OpenAI, Cognitive Search, Vision, Document Intelligence, and Cosmos DB for vector storage.
• Build and iterate on retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines and knowledge-grounded architectures, including GraphRAG and emerging techniques like OmniRAG.
• Rapidly prototype AI applications tailored to specific client needs, such as document digitization, data vectorization, and content generation workflows.
• Contribute to the architecture and implementation of advanced AI systems, including agent-based orchestration and integration with modern APIs and platforms.
• Prepare and structure training data, including labeled inputs for both text and image-based models, with a focus on production readiness and model performance.
• Evaluate and adopt new tools and frameworks based on AI/ML advancements, ensuring that implementations are stable and scalable.
• Collaborate across teams to deliver high-impact, cloud-native applications using Python (especially Azure's AI SDK). Exposure to JavaScript/TypeScript or Node.js is considered an asset.
• Apply familiarity with engineering documentation and visuals (e.g., diagrams, schematics) to enhance AI-driven workflows where applicable.

What You Bring To The Table

• 8–15 years of relevant experience in software or AI/ML development.
• Strong hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure AI services, including OpenAI, AI Search, Vision, Document Intelligence, and Cosmos DB.
• Proven ability to develop and deploy retrieval-based AI solutions using RAG pipelines, knowledge graphs, and related architectures.
• Demonstrated skill in rapidly building and iterating AI prototypes based on client requirements.
• Strong Python development skills, with experience using Azure’s AI SDK.
• Experience designing and implementing AI solution architectures, including agent-based systems and orchestration tools.
• Awareness of current and emerging AI/ML research, with the ability to assess production readiness.
• Exposure to front-end or full-stack development (JavaScript/TypeScript, Node.js) is an asset.
• Familiarity with engineering or technical documentation (e.g., schematics, diagrams) is considered an asset.
• Ability to independently structure and label data for AI training pipelines.
