Job Summary:
• Client is seeking an experienced Azure AI Foundry Subject Matter Expert to support the design, development, and deployment of advanced AI agent solutions within the Microsoft ecosystem.
• This engagement will begin as a proof of concept (PoC) initiative and has the potential to expand into broader production deployments.
• The ideal candidate will operate in a hybrid capacity for advisory and hands-on engineering, helping guide architecture decisions while also actively building and integrating AI agents using Microsoft’s Foundry Agent framework.
• This individual will play a key role in overcoming current challenges around agent orchestration, integration, and deployment, while supplementing limited Microsoft support resources.
Responsibilities:
• Provide strategic advisory on Azure AI Foundry architecture, best practices, and implementation approaches

• Troubleshoot and resolve agent integration and connectivity challenges
• Lead PoC development efforts, with a focus on scalability toward production deployment
• Assist with deployment strategies, including CI/CD and environment setup within Azure
• Develop demo-ready solutions to showcase agent capabilities and enterprise use cases
• Guide integration of AI agents with enterprise systems and data platforms, including Snowflake
• Collaborate with internal teams and Microsoft stakeholders to align on architecture and execution
• Advise on leveraging Azure-native services (potentially including Copilot and related tooling)
• Ensure solutions align with existing governance, security, and compliance frameworks (in partnership with client’s cyber team)
Experience:
• Deep expertise in Azure AI Foundry and Microsoft’s AI/agent ecosystem
• Hands-on experience building and deploying AI agents / multi-agent systems
• Strong proficiency in Python for AI/ML development
• Experience with Azure cloud services (compute, storage, identity, networking, etc.)
• Proven experience with AI solution deployment and operationalization in Azure
• Experience integrating AI solutions with Snowflake and enterprise data platforms
• Ability to operate in both advisory and hands-on engineering roles
• Strong problem-solving skills, particularly around agent orchestration and system integration
Preferred Skills:
