About the Role

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.

What You Will Do

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 PowerShell scripts for automation, data preparation, or testing, and utilize frameworks like LangChain 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.

Required Qualifications

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 PowerShell) and understand API integrations.
Location: Must be a resident of Southern California.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with LangChain, LangGraph, 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.

Why This 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.
