Required Experience & Skills
Core Technical
• Senior‑level software engineering experience (typically 8+ years), including designing and delivering production systems.
• Strong hands‑on experience with the Microsoft Copilot ecosystem (e.g., Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio, developer copilots).
• Extensive use of GitHub Copilot as a first‑class development tool—not as an experiment, but as part of daily engineering workflows.
• Practical experience with Claude and other leading LLMs, including prompt design, tool use, and structured outputs.
• Proven experience building or operating agentic systems (multi‑step reasoning, autonomous execution, human‑in‑the‑loop).
• Strong programming skills in at least one modern language (e.g., Python, TypeScript, C#), with solid software design fundamentals.
• Experience integrating AI solutions into real systems (APIs, data sources, enterprise platforms).Engineering Approach
• Demonstrated use of IDE‑driven, AI‑assisted â€śvibe coding” techniques to move fast without sacrificing clarity, safety, or maintainability.
• Strong understanding of testing strategies and validation for AI‑assisted code and agents.
• Ability to reason about reliability, failure modes, security, and cost in AI‑heavy systems.Autonomy & Communication
• Extremely self‑directed—able to define next steps, unblock yourself, and make sound technical decisions without constant oversight.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Comfortable explaining complex AI concepts in plain, concrete language to senior stakeholders.
• Able to challenge assumptions respectfully and propose better alternatives when needed.Nice to Have
• Experience with enterprise security, identity, governance, or Responsible AI concepts.
• Familiarity with Copilot customization, plugins, or extensions.
• Experience coaching teams or setting AI engineering standards.
• Background in architecture or technical leadership roles.Required Qualifications
• Education
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical discipline or equivalent practical experience.
• Advanced degrees are welcome but not required if hands‑on experience is strong.
• Professional Experience
• 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with direct ownership of production systems.
• 3+ years working hands‑on with AI‑assisted development, LLM‑driven systems, or intelligent automation.
• Demonstrated experience operating in senior or lead engineer capacity, influencing design decisions beyond individual tasks.
• AI & Copilot Expertise
• Proven, real‑world experience with the Microsoft Copilot suite, including using Copilot as part of daily engineering and productivity workflows.
• Hands‑on experience with GitHub Copilot used systematically for design, coding, refactoring, testing, and documentation—not occasional usage.
• Practical experience working with Claude (and similar frontier models), including understanding strengths, limitations, and appropriate use cases.
• Agentic Software Development
• Experience designing or implementing agentic systems, including: 
• Multi‑step reasoning and task decomposition
• Tool‑calling and execution orchestration
• State, memory, and context management
• Human‑in‑the‑loop and guardrail patterns
• Ability to reason about reliability, failure modes, retries, and validation of autonomous behaviors.
• Software Engineering Fundamentals
• Strong proficiency in at least one modern programming language (e.g., Python, TypeScript, C#).
• Solid grounding in software design principles, APIs, version control, testing practices, and deployment pipelines.
• Experience integrating AI components into real enterprise systems, not isolated prototypes.
• Autonomy & Execution
• Demonstrated ability to work with minimal direction, define technical paths forward, and make sound decisions independently.
• Track record of owning outcomes end‑to‑end: problem framing, implementation, delivery, and iteration.
• Communication
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to explain complex AI and engineering concepts clearly and concretely to diverse audiences, including senior leadership.Proven ability to document decisions, assumptions, and trade‑offs succinctly.
