Key Skills for This Role
Responsibilities
- Translate business opportunities into robust, production ready agent architectures
- Build pro code AI agents using Python (FastAPI, Streamlit, etc.) or .NET with the Microsoft Agent Framework
- Lead the design of multi agent orchestration and agentic design patterns on the team's most complex builds
- Review architecture and delivery plans from other AI Engineers before build starts, and act as a technical escalation point during delivery
- Design and maintain the delivery lifecycle for agents already in production — evaluation, telemetry, logging, safety, and CI/CD pipelines
- Set and maintain the reference patterns and reusable components other engineers build from
- Mentor AI Engineers, including colleagues moving into the role through internal upskilling path
- Support presales and customer proposals with technical input on feasibility and solution design
Requirements
- Significant hands on experience building production AI agents or AI infused applications, not just prototypes
- Strong software engineering skills in Python or .NET, including modern cloud integration patterns
- Hands on experience with Microsoft Foundry: projects, SDKs, models, the model router, hosted agents, and Foundry tools
- Demonstrable experience building complete agentic workflows in Foundry Agent Service, including tool invocation and deployment
- Deep understanding of Azure AI Search and retrieval augmented generation patterns, including vector, hybrid, and multimodal retrieval
- Practical experience implementing AI safety features: prompt shields, groundedness checks, and sensitive content filters
Full Job Posting
Why This Role Matters
- We are scaling enterprise grade agentic AI across the Middle East and Africa.
- Build is the engine room behind that work: the team that designs, ships, and continuously improves the AI agents and platform features inside our Frontier Firm Live offering.
- We are looking for a senior builder, someone who has shipped production AI systems before and can take that experience into a fast moving, low hierarchy team.
What You Will Build
- Production AI agents using Microsoft Foundry Agent Service: multi agent workflows, hosted agents, memory, observability, identity integration, secure endpoints, and deployment
- Knowledge grounded experiences using Azure AI Search and retrieval augmented generation
- Deterministic, source grounded extraction: pipelines that pull figures and facts straight from documents without hallucinating
- Tool using agents that execute secure actions through Model Context Protocol (MCP), Azure Logic Apps, Azure Functions, and custom APIs
- Model optimised applications using Foundry Models and the model router
- Enterprise safe systems with prompt shielding, groundedness checks, and content safety enforcement
- Reusable reference agents, connectors, and evaluation templates that ship into our UseCaseLibrary
