Role Objective

We are looking for a Platform-First AI Engineer to lead the operationalization of Generative AI. You won't just build prompts; you will build the enterprise-grade infrastructure that powers them. You will own the "Ops" in GenAIOps-bridging the gap between a successful "Proof of Concept" and a production-ready, multi-tenant AI platform using the Azure AI Foundry ecosystem.

Key Responsibilities

1. Platform Architecture & Orchestration

• Agentic Frameworks: Architect and scale multi-agent systems using LangGraph, AutoGen, or Semantic Kernel. Implement persistent state management and deterministic fallback logic for autonomous agents.

• Unified AI Gateway: Design and manage a centralized AI Gateway (using Azure APIM) to handle request routing, rate limiting, and cost-attribution across different business units.
• Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC): Provision and manage Azure AI resources (Foundry, Search, CosmosDB) using Terraform or Bicep to ensure reproducible environments.

2. LLMOps & Observability

• Advanced Tracing: Implement end-to-end distributed tracing for LLM calls using tools like Langfuse, Arize Phoenix, or LangSmith integrated with Azure Monitor/Datadog.
• Evaluation Pipelines: Build automated "Evaluation-as-a-Service" pipelines. Use "LLM-as-a-Judge" patterns to score groundedness, relevance, and faithfulness before any code hits production.

• Deployment Strategies: Manage the lifecycle of models (GPT-4o, Llama 3.x, Phi-4) including versioning, blue-green deployments, and A/B testing of system prompts.

3. Security & Responsible AI

• Enterprise Security: Enforce Zero Trust security for AI-implementing Private Links, Managed Identities, and Virtual Network isolation for all LLM traffic.
• Guardrails: Deploy and tune Azure AI Content Safety and custom jailbreak detection layers to prevent prompt injection and PII leakage.
• Governance: Monitor token usage and latency metrics to provide FinOps insights and prevent "runaway" agent costs.

Technical Skills Required

• Primary Cloud: Expert-level Microsoft Azure (AI Foundry, Azure OpenAI, Azure ML).

• Containerization: Deep experience with Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Docker, and KEDA for auto-scaling AI workloads.

  Frameworks: Mastery of LangGraph, LlamaIndex, and FastAPI for building high-concurrency AI backends.

• Databases: Hands-on with Vector Stores-Azure AI Search, Pinecone, or Milvus.
• DevOps: Proven experience with GitHub Actions or Azure Pipelines for ML/LLM CI/CD.

Soft Skills & Leadership

• Stakeholder Influence: Ability to explain the trade-offs between "Latency vs. Accuracy" to non-technical business leaders.
• Mentorship: Lead a team of 4-6 engineers, setting the technical standard for code reviews and architectural blueprints.
• Innovation: A track record of moving beyond "Simple RAG" into advanced patterns like GraphRAG and Multi-modal pipelines.

Qualifications

• B.Tech/M.Tech in Computer Science or related field (Ph.D. is a plus but not mandatory for this Ops-centric role).

  Azure Solutions Architect or Azure AI Engineer Associate certification preferred.
