Software Engineer AI; Evergreen

Software Engineer - AI (.NET | Azure OpenAI)

Short Introduction / Context / Summary

Join us to build the next generation of AIpowered .NET systems. You'll architect high performance services, design retrieval and agentic workflows, and bring Azure OpenAI capabilities to life in realworld applications. If you're excited about applied AI, clean engineering, and building production systems endtoend, this role is for you.

• Build and own .NET services and REST APIs integrated with Azure OpenAI and Azure AI Services.
• Design RAG pipelines using Azure AI Search (hybrid retrieval, chunking strategies, grounding, citations).
• Create agentic workflows using tool/function calling, planning, memory, and guardrails for safe execution.
• Develop Semantic Kernel skills, connectors, and planners to orchestrate intelligent behavior.
• Implement robust observability across latency, cost, token usage, quality metrics (App Insights/Open Telemetry).
• Collaborate with product, security, and data partners to ensure compliant and impactful solutions.
• Lead through engineering excellence-mentoring teammates, writing RFCs, and guiding architecture decisions.

• Azure AI Services:
  Azure OpenAI (GPT, embeddings, function calling, streaming, cost control)
• Azure AI Search (indexing, hybrid search, skillsets, reranking), Azure AI Studio (prompt flows, eval pipelines)
• Azure Infrastructure:
  App Service, Functions, AKS, Container Apps, API Management, Key Vault
• RAG Engineering: chunking, metadata enrichment, hybrid retrieval, citation accuracy
• Agentic AI: tools, planners, memory management, guardrails
• C# / .NET 7/8: async streams, DI, clean architecture, performance tuning
• ASP.NET Core: API design, OAuth2/OIDC/JWT, caching, resiliency patterns
• Semantic Kernel (C#): skills, connectors, planners, memory stores
• Azure Infrastructure:
  App Service, Functions, AKS/Container Apps, API Management, Key Vault
• Security & Quality: PII handling, auditing, testing (unit/integration/contract), CI/CD

• Knowledge graphs (Neo4j/RDF)
• Azure Cognitive Services (Document Intelligence, Speech, Vision)
• Advanced Azure Search (custom scoring, multisource ingestion)
• AI quality evaluation (hallucination detection, RAGAS)
• Front-end integration (React/Blazor streaming UX)
