Experience
4 – 6 years
Level
Mid-Level
Location
Delhi / Mumbai / Bangalore (India)
Employment Type
Full-time
Primary Skills
Azure AI Foundry, RAG, AI Agents, AI / ML
Role Summary
We are looking for an AI Engineer with hands-on experience in building Generative AI solutions on Microsoft Azure. You will design and develop Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines and AI agents using Azure AI Foundry, working within a team under the guidance of senior engineers and architects, and contribute to production-grade AI/ML solutions for enterprise clients.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and deploy RAG-based applications using Azure AI Foundry, Azure OpenAI, and Azure AI Search.
- Build AI agents using Azure AI Foundry Agent Service, including tool/function calling and basic multi-step workflows.
- Implement document ingestion pipelines: parsing, chunking, embedding generation, and vector indexing.
- Write and iterate on prompts; apply prompt engineering techniques to improve answer quality and reduce hallucinations.
- Build, train, and evaluate classical ML / deep learning models for classification, forecasting, NLP, or similar use cases.
- Expose AI capabilities through REST APIs (FastAPI / Flask) and integrate them with front-end and enterprise systems.
- Run evaluation of RAG and agent outputs (groundedness, relevance, accuracy) using Azure AI Foundry evaluation tools.
- Write clean, tested, well-documented code and participate in code reviews.
- Collaborate with product owners, data engineers, and QA teams to deliver sprint commitments.
Required Skills & Experience
- 4 – 6 years of total experience in software / data / AI engineering, with at least 1.5 – 2 years in Generative AI.
- Hands-on experience with Azure AI Foundry (model catalog, deployments, prompt flow, evaluations).
- Practical experience building RAG solutions end to end (embeddings, chunking, vector search, retrieval, re-ranking basics).
- Experience building AI agents using Azure AI Foundry (Agent Service) or frameworks such as Semantic Kernel, LangChain, or AutoGen.
- Strong Python programming skills; good understanding of REST APIs and JSON.
- Working knowledge of AI/ML fundamentals: supervised / unsupervised learning, model evaluation, feature engineering, scikit-learn, and PyTorch or TensorFlow.
- Familiarity with Azure services: Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Search, Blob Storage, Azure Functions, Key Vault.
- Working knowledge of Git and CI/CD basics.
