TL;DR · Microsoft Azure Agentic AI Solution Architect

The Microsoft Azure Agentic AI Solution Architect leads the architecture, design, and delivery of enterprise-grade Agentic AI and Generative AI solutions on Microsoft Azure. This role involves translating business requirements into secure, scalable, and production-ready architectures, moving projects from discovery and proof-of-concept to industrialized deployment. Key responsibilities include designing multi-agent patterns, orchestration flows, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) solutions using Azure AI Foundry, Azure OpenAI, and Azure AI Search. The architect will utilize tools like Semantic Kernel, LangGraph, and Microsoft Fabric while integrating with Microsoft 365 and Copilot Studio. Core technical skills include Python, .NET/Java, Docker, and Kubernetes. The role solves complex problems regarding secure grounding, LLMOps, AgentOps, and establishing guardrails for responsible AI within regulated enterprise environments.

What you'll do

  • Design end-to-end Agentic AI architectures using Microsoft Foundry, Azure OpenAI, and multi-agent orchestration patterns.
  • Architect enterprise RAG solutions using Azure AI Search, including document ingestion, chunking, and hybrid search patterns.
  • Design secure cloud-native integrations using Azure Functions, Container Apps, API Management, and Microsoft 365.
  • Establish security guardrails for prompt injection, data leakage, and human-in-the-loop approvals for sensitive agent actions.
  • Define CI/CD pipelines and lifecycle management for prompts, models, agents, and knowledge assets.
  • Design production observability using Azure Monitor and Application Insights to track latency, reliability, and cost.
  • Produce architecture artifacts including high-level designs, security models, and architecture decision records.
  • Lead discovery workshops and provide technical leadership from initial ideation through production deployment.

What we're looking for

  • 12+ years of overall technology experience with significant solution or enterprise architecture responsibility.
  • 5+ years of experience designing solutions on Microsoft Azure, including cloud-native, integration, security, and data architectures.
  • Hands-on experience with Agentic AI, Generative AI, LLMs, RAG, and multi-agent architectures.
  • Experience with Microsoft Foundry/Azure AI Foundry, Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Search, and the Azure AI ecosystem.
  • Experience with agent frameworks or SDKs such as Semantic Kernel, LangGraph/LangChain, or equivalent frameworks.
  • Experience with Python and/or .NET/Java and REST/API-based integration.
  • Experience with Docker/Kubernetes, infrastructure automation, Azure DevOps/GitHub, and CI/CD.
  • Microsoft certifications relevant to Azure and Agentic AI, such as AI-103 or AB-100 (preferred).
