Job Description
Required Experience & Skills
Core Technical
- Senior‑level software engineering experience (typically 8+ years), including designing and delivering production systems.
- Strong hands‑on experience with the Microsoft Copilot ecosystem (e.g., Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio, developer copilots).
- Extensive use of GitHub Copilot as a first‑class development tool—not as an experiment, but as part of daily engineering workflows.
- Practical experience with Claude and other leading LLMs, including prompt design, tool use, and structured outputs.
- Proven experience building or operating agentic systems (multi‑step reasoning, autonomous execution, human‑in‑the‑loop).
- Strong programming skills in at least one modern language (e.g., Python, TypeScript, C#), with solid software design fundamentals.
- Experience integrating AI solutions into real systems (APIs, data sources, enterprise platforms).
Engineering Approach
- Demonstrated use of IDE‑driven, AI‑assisted “vibe coding” techniques to move fast without sacrificing clarity, safety, or maintainability.
- Strong understanding of testing strategies and validation for AI‑assisted code and agents.
- Ability to reason about reliability, failure modes, security, and cost in AI‑heavy systems.
Autonomy & Communication
- Extremely self‑directed—able to define next steps, unblock yourself, and make sound technical decisions without constant oversight.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Comfortable explaining complex AI concepts in plain, concrete language to senior stakeholders.
- Able to challenge assumptions respectfully and propose better alternatives when needed.
Nice to Have
- Experience with enterprise security, identity, governance, or Responsible AI concepts.
- Familiarity with Copilot customization, plugins, or extensions.
- Experience coaching teams or setting AI engineering standards.
- Background in architecture or technical leadership roles.
Required Qualifications
- Education
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical discipline or equivalent practical experience.
- Advanced degrees are welcome but not required if hands‑on experience is strong.
- Professional Experience
- 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with direct ownership of production systems.
- 3+ years working hands‑on with AI‑assisted development, LLM‑driven systems, or intelligent automation.
- Demonstrated experience operating in senior or lead engineer capacity, influencing design decisions beyond individual tasks.
- AI & Copilot Expertise
- Proven, real‑world experience with the Microsoft Copilot suite, including using Copilot as part of daily engineering and productivity workflows.
- Hands‑on experience with GitHub Copilot used systematically for design, coding, refactoring, testing, and documentation—not occasional usage.
- Practical experience working with Claude (and similar frontier models), including understanding strengths, limitations, and appropriate use cases.
- Agentic Software Development
- Experience designing or implementing agentic systems, including:
- Multi‑step reasoning and task decomposition
- Tool‑calling and execution orchestration
- State, memory, and context management
- Human‑in‑the‑loop and guardrail patterns
- Ability to reason about reliability, failure modes, retries, and validation of autonomous behaviors.
- Experience designing or implementing agentic systems, including:
- Software Engineering Fundamentals
- Strong proficiency in at least one modern programming language (e.g., Python, TypeScript, C#).
- Solid grounding in software design principles, APIs, version control, testing practices, and deployment pipelines.
- Experience integrating AI components into real enterprise systems, not isolated prototypes.
- Autonomy & Execution
- Demonstrated ability to work with minimal direction, define technical paths forward, and make sound decisions independently.
- Track record of owning outcomes end‑to‑end: problem framing, implementation, delivery, and iteration.
- Communication
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Ability to explain complex AI and engineering concepts clearly and concretely to diverse audiences, including senior leadership.
Proven ability to document decisions, assumptions, and trade‑offs succinctly.
