The Senior Solution Architect, Agentic AI (Azure & Power Platform) joins the Intelligent Automation Practice to design and deliver enterprise-grade agentic AI solutions. This role involves defining reference architectures for pro-code systems on Azure AI Foundry and low-code automation on Microsoft Power Platform and Copilot Studio. You will translate complex business requirements into production-ready intelligent agents, selecting patterns like RAG retrieval, multi-agent handoff, and reasoning loops. Key responsibilities include leading engineering teams through production deployment, developing reusable practice IP, and embedding responsible AI guardrails. Required technical skills include Python, Azure AI Foundry, Microsoft Agent Framework, LangGraph, and Power Automate. You will utilize Azure AI Search, Container Apps, and Managed Identity to solve technical challenges regarding agent topology, memory, and knowledge retrieval across diverse enterprise contexts.

What you'll do

  • Design end-to-end reference architectures for agentic AI including topology, tool integration, and knowledge retrieval.
  • Select and justify specific agentic patterns like RAG, multi-agent handoff, and reasoning loops based on business requirements.
  • Lead engineering teams through the full lifecycle from local development to production deployment on Azure or Power Platform.
  • Evaluate and select appropriate frameworks such as LangGraph, Copilot Studio, and Microsoft Agent Framework for each engagement.
  • Act as the primary AI architecture authority during client discovery workshops and technical roadmap sessions.
  • Develop reusable practice assets including playbooks, reference architectures, and accelerators for rapid proof-of-concept delivery.
  • Implement responsible AI guardrails, production readiness standards, and evaluation frameworks across all deployments.

What we're looking for

  • 8+ years of cloud solution architecture experience.
  • 2+ years designing and delivering agentic AI systems in production or near-production environments.
  • Experience with both pro-code agentic systems (Azure AI Foundry, MAF) and low-code automation platforms (Copilot Studio, Power Platform).
  • Proficiency in Python and working knowledge of Azure AI Foundry and Azure OpenAI SDKs.
  • Knowledge of RAG retrieval pipelines, multi-agent orchestration, reasoning loops, and responsible AI principles.
  • Experience with Azure infrastructure including Container Apps, Managed Identity, and Azure CLI.
  • Required certifications: AI-102 and AZ-900; preferred certifications: AZ-305 and PL-200.
  • Client-facing delivery experience in a consulting or professional services context (preferred: Agent 365, Microsoft Control System, GitHub Copilot, or Claude Code).
