Our Challenge:

We are seeking for Forward Deployed Engineers to design and ship agentic AI applications across our Corporate Functions — Finance, HR, Legal, Procurement, Marketing and Sales operations. You will be embedded directly with the people who own the process, taking a real business problem from idea to a working, production-grade solution in weeks rather than quarters.

This is hands-on engineering. You will typically be the sole technical seat in a small pod alongside a process owner and a business sponsor, building applications that run multi-step workflows, hold state across many users, and act directly on enterprise systems of record. That is materially harder than a chatbot, and it is the point of the role.

You will build on Microsoft Fabric as our enterprise data platform and on Azure AI services, and you will help set the technical patterns the wider team reuses. If you want to build serious AI systems that change how a 50,000-person business actually works, and you want the autonomy to do it properly, this is the role.

Additional Information*

The base salary for this position will vary based on geography and other factors.

In accordance with law, the base salary for this role if filled within Piscataway, NJ/ King of Prussia, PA is $130K-$140K /year & benefits (see below).

Responsibilities:

• Design, build and harden agentic AI applications that read from and write to enterprise systems of record, grounded on Microsoft Fabric and Azure AI services.
• Embed with a Corporate Function team as the technical lead of a small, multi-functional pod — moving from problem, to prototype, to production at pace.
• Run a tight, iterative build cycle: align on the outcome, prototype, gather feedback, refine and finalise, typically within one to two weeks per loop.
• Own the quality of what you ship end to end — security, reliability, scalability, observability, and safe, governed write-back to source systems.
• Make the right build call for the problem: low-code and agent-builder platforms where they fit, custom code where they do not.
• Ensure the data behind each solution is AI-ready — modelled, governed and documented in Fabric, with lineage and access control that will stand up to audit.
• Set and document the reusable technical patterns, components and guardrails the team applies across every engagement.
• Become credible in a new business domain quickly, and challenge requirements constructively to land on the right solution rather than the requested one.

Requirements:

• Proven experience building agentic or multi-agent AI systems that run in production and serve real users — working systems, not demonstrations.
• At least 5 years and hands-on with Microsoft technologies, Azure and Microsoft’s Agentic AI suite
• Experience with Microsoft Copilot Studio, Power Platform, Azure AI Foundry, or agent-builder platforms
• Direct experience with Microsoft Fabric — Lakehouse, Warehouse, Data Factory, Real-Time Intelligence, Power BI and OneLake — or a comparable enterprise data platform.
• Strong command of state management, concurrency, idempotency and authorisation for systems that act on a system of record on behalf of many users.
• Substantial software development experience in at least one language such as Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, C# or Java — you can architect, write, review and debug production code.
• Hands-on integration experience with enterprise APIs and data platforms, including designing safe read and write paths and han…
