Summary
We are seeking an AI Automation Engineer to join our team focused on designing and deploying enterprise AI and automation solutions across internal business operations.
This role is centered on building real, production-level AI workflows and applications-not research or experimental model development.
· Designing and building LLM-powered applications using platforms such as Azure OpenAI, OpenAI APIs, or similar tools
· Developing and deploying solutions within the Microsoft ecosystem, including Power Platform (Power Automate, Power Apps), Copilot Studio, and Azure services
· Building AI-driven workflow automation solutions that streamline business processes and reduce manual effort
· Creating and deploying AI assistants, copilots, or conversational interfaces used in real-world business environments
· Developing retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, including vector search, prompt orchestration, and AI-driven knowledge retrieval
· Owning solutions end-to-end, from design and development through deployment and support in production environments
· Hands-on experience integrating AI solutions with enterprise systems, including document management, CRM, and Microsoft 365 platforms (Teams, SharePoint, Outlook)
· Experience working with REST APIs and system integrations to connect AI solutions with existing business applications
· Understanding of data flow, system architecture, and orchestration for large-scale automation solutions
· Familiarity with AI governance, security, and responsible AI practices, particularly in environments handling sensitive or regulated data
· Experience working in professional services, legal, financial services, healthcare, or other regulated industries
· Exposure to Dev/Test/Prod environment management, CI/CD pipelines, and version control systems (Azure DevOps, GitHub)
· Ability to design scalable, maintainable solutions that are actively used by business stakeholders-not just prototypes.
· Being a self-starter - able to take ownership of AI solutions from concept through production with minimal direction
· Strong problem-solving ability - translating ambiguous business needs into practical, scalable technical solutions
· Being collaborative and business-oriented - comfortable working directly with non-technical stakeholders to design usable solutions
· Disciplined work ethic - delivering high-quality solutions within timelines in a fast-paced environment
· Positive and professional approach - representing strong communication, accountability, and teamwork
This position is focused on applied AI and automation engineering.
