AI Engineer – Copilot & Agentic Development – Overall 10yrs at SyncreonConsulting

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 “vibe 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.
