• Hands-on experience in Agile/Scrum development environments, including sprint planning, stand-ups, and retrospectives.
• High attention to detail and a commitment to delivering high-quality, sustainable solutions.
• Solid understanding of SDLC processes and application lifecycle management, including requirements, design, development, testing, deployment, and support.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).

Technical Skills

• Strong experience with RESTful APIs, authentication/authorization (OAuth, Entra ID), and cloud-native design.
• Hands-on experience or strong knowledge of AI Foundry or equivalent AI service runtimes.
• Experience implementing or using MCP for agent/tool integration.
• Solid understanding of Large Language Models, including model capabilities and limitations; prompt engineering concepts; retrieval-augmented generation and function calling patterns.
• Experience integrating supporting services with the Power Platform and Copilot Studio (custom connector, API, and action customization).
• Familiarity with Azure services (App Services, Functions, Storage, Key Vault, APIM).
