We are looking for a technically strong Engineer to build the next generation of GenAI-powered business solutions. This role sits at the intersection of Microsoft Power Platform and Generative AI.

You won’t just be configuring standard bots; you will be engineering complex solutions that integrate Copilot Studio, Azure OpenAI, and enterprise data.

This is a hands‑on technical role ideal for someone who has a solid foundation in platform engineering (2+ years) and is ready to apply those skills to real‑world AI production workflows. You will work independently on deliverables while collaborating with senior architects on complex integrations.

• Build GenAI Solutions:
  Design and deploy chatbots and copilots using Microsoft Copilot Studio, managing the full lifecycle from prompt engineering to topic configuration and flow design.
• Engineer the Logic:
  Create robust Power Automate flows to handle data processing and business logic that powers the AI front‑end.
• Advanced Integration:
  Connect AI solutions to structured and unstructured data using RAG (Retrieval‑Augmented Generation) patterns, Azure OpenAI, and REST APIs.
• Code & Script:
  Write light Python or Power Shell scripts for automation, data preparation, or testing, and utilize frameworks like Lang Chain where necessary.
• Refine & Improve:
  Continuously test prompt logic and system instructions to improve the quality, accuracy, and safety of AI responses.
• Collaborate:
  Work directly with business stakeholders to translate needs into technical requirements and participate in client‑facing working sessions.

• 2-3+ years of technical experience in software development, platform engineering, or automation.
• Core Tech:
  Strong hands‑on experience with Microsoft Power Platform (Power Automate, Power Apps) is required.
• AI
  
  Experience:
  
  Proven experience building solutions with Microsoft Copilot Studio (formerly Power Virtual Agents) or similar GenAI orchestration tools.
• Cloud
  
  Skills:
  
  Working knowledge of Azure services (Azure OpenAI, Functions, Logic Apps, or Storage).
• Technical Versatility:
  Ability to write and debug basic code (Python or Power Shell) and understand API integrations.
• Location:
  
  Must be a resident of Southern California.

• Experience with Lang Chain, Lang Graph, or Python AI SDKs.
• Understanding of vector databases, embeddings, and RAG architectures.
• Microsoft Certifications (PL‑100, PL‑200, or PL‑400).
• Prior experience in a consulting or client‑facing engineering role.

This position moves beyond simple "drag‑and‑drop" development. It offers the chance to work with cutting‑edge AI patterns (like RAG and Azure OpenAI) while grounded in a stable, enterprise‑grade platform. You will have the opportunity to grow your skills in both traditional cloud architecture and the emerging field of AI engineering.
