Job Description:
Job Summary:
  • We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Agentic AI Engineer to design, develop, and deploy modern Agentic AI solutions.
  • This role focuses on building production-grade Generative AI applications, multi-agent workflows, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines for enterprise use on Microsoft Azure.
  • You will collaborate with architects, software engineers, data engineers, and business stakeholders to translate requirements into AI-powered software solutions.
  • The ideal candidate brings hands-on experience developing, evaluating, and operating Agentic AI solutions, supported by strong front-end and back-end engineering fundamentals.

Major Responsibilities:

Build Generative AI & Retrieval-Augmented Generation LLM Applications:
  • Build LLM-powered applications for text generation, summarization, Q&A, conversational AI, enterprise knowledge search, and multi-agent orchestration.
  • Develop advanced RAG pipelines using embeddings, Azure AI Search vector and hybrid retrieval, document chunking, metadata filtering, reranking, citations, and grounding techniques with enterprise data.
  • Build secure, reliable integrations between AI agents and enterprise tools, REST APIs, relational databases, and event-driven services.
  • Develop and maintain user-facing AI application experiences using React and TypeScript, and supporting application services using Node.js or comparable back-end technologies.

AI Agents & Agentic Automation:

  • Design and implement single-agent and multi-agent systems for intelligent automation, decisioning, and complex workflows.
  • Build autonomous and human-in-the-loop agents that plan, reason, act, and interact with tools, APIs, enterprise data, and event-driven systems.
  • Develop agentic workflows using Microsoft Agent Framework, Azure AI Foundry services, or comparable modern orchestration frameworks.
  • Implement configuration-driven agent behavior, prompt and tool management, authorization boundaries, and resilient error-handling patterns.
  • Define and automate evaluation approaches for agent quality, including groundedness, relevance, citation quality, safety, and regression testing.
  • Instrument agent workflows for traces, tool calls, latency, token usage, errors, and operational metrics using OpenTelemetry, Application Insights, or comparable observability platforms.
  • Build highly scalable, secure, containerized solutions with CI/CD, health checks, horizontal scaling, and production monitoring.

Education and Experience Requirements:

  • Requires a bachelor's degree (or international equivalent) and 8+ years of relevant software engineering experience.
  • 2-3 years of hands-on Generative AI, LLM application, or Agentic AI solution development experience.
  • Strong software engineering background with experience designing and deploying production-grade cloud applications.
  • Experience building front-end applications with React and TypeScript, and back-end services with Node.js or comparable application frameworks.
  • Hands-on experience building Generative AI and RAG applications with Azure AI Foundry, Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Search, LLM APIs, embeddings, vector or hybrid search, knowledge retrieval, grounding, and citations.
  • Experience with Agentic AI frameworks such as Microsoft Agent Framework, Semantic Kernel, LangGraph, AutoGen, or comparable orchestration frameworks; including single-agent and multi-agent systems, tool-calling workflows, and human-in-the-loop controls.
  • Experience evaluating and improving agent quality, including prompt engineering, test datasets, LLM-based evaluation, safety checks, and production feedback loops.
  • Strong knowledge of LLMOps, CI/CD, containerization (Docker and Kubernetes), observability, and production operations for AI applications.
  • Good understanding of RESTful API principles, asynchronous application patterns, secure integrations, relational databases, SQL, and data-access patterns; familiarity with SQL/NoSQL data stores and data engineering or ETL pipelines.
  • Experience working in an enterprise environment with large-scale, secure AI deployments, including identity, authorization, data privacy, compliance, and production monitoring.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, collaboration, and communication skills.

About Company

WE THE TEKWISSEN PEOPLE

TekWissen offers you a broader portfolio of services, industry-leading solutions, and the meaningful innovations that give you greater flexibility and speed to respond to market dynamics, reduced costs and risk to improve enterprise performance, and increased productivity to enable growth.

To keep pace with global market demands, TekWissen keeps its finger on the pulse of change. Our organized approach to guiding a project from its inception to closure. Managing projects is becoming more and more important as we enter the digital era. To cope with the pace that this transition demands, a method is required to manage projects so they can yield quality work, while incorporating efficient use of time and resources.

Project involves identifying which quality standards are relevant to the project and determining how to satisfy them.

It is important to perform quality planning during the Planning Process and should be done alongside the other project planning processes because changes in the quality will likely require changes in the other planning processes, or the desired product quality may require a detailed risk analysis of an identified problem. It is important to remember that quality should be planned, designed, then built in, not added on after the fact.

Capabilities and accomplishments in one TekWissen business enhance the opportunity for success in the others. Put simply, TekWissen's unique combination of attributes promotes success.
