Implement prompt engineering, prompt/version management, structured outputs, function/tool calling, and multimodal AI use cases.

Integrate AI capabilities into existing enterprise applications and workflows

Stakeholder Engagement: Work with Product Owners and business teams to translate requirements into technical solutions.

Collaborate with AI Architects to implement approved solution designs and raise design feedback from the engineering perspective.

3+ years working with cloud-native / Azure technologies.

Strong hands-on experience with AI/ML or Generative AI solutions; demonstrated LLM/RAG application delivery.

Experience leading AI engineering teams through design, development, testing, and deployment.
