AI Architect

Must-Have Skills

• Semantic Kernel + Microsoft Agent Framework - hands-on experience refactoring SK plugins, planners, function calling, and memory to Agent Framework agents/workflows (this is the critical, hardest-to-source skill)
• Python / Django - to rebuild the orchestration layer without breaking existing API contracts, RBAC, and permissions
• Azure AI Services / RAG - Azure AI Search (hybrid retrieval, semantic ranking), Azure OpenAI (inference + embeddings), preserving retrieval, reranking, prompt assembly, and citation paths.
