In short
As a Technology Consultant with Microsoft ISD, you will embed with customers to understand their needs and design/implement GenAI and agentic solutions on Microsoft platforms like Azure, Dynamics 365, and M365 Copilots. You will own end-to-end delivery, from prototyping to production, ensuring reliability, safety, and measurable customer impact.
Responsibilities
- Embed with customer stakeholders to understand business workflows, constraints, and success metrics; translate ambiguous needs into clear requirements, solution hypotheses, and sprint deliverables for GenAI/agentic scenarios.
- Design and implement agentic and GenAI solutions on Microsoft platforms (e.g., Dynamics 365, M365 Copilots, Power Platform, Azure) including integrations, APIs, and automations that accelerate adoption and deliver measurable outcomes.
- Prototype rapidly, then harden to production: build POCs for agentic workflows (multi-step tasks, tool-use, orchestration), validate with users, and evolve to production-ready implementations with testing, monitoring, and secure deployment patterns.
- Own end-to-end delivery from architecture through implementation: define build/test specifications, create eval and quality gates for GenAI outputs, and produce operational guides/runbooks for reliability, safety, and maintainability.
- Identify and mitigate business/technical risks specific to AI systems (data access, prompt injection, hallucinations, privacy, compliance, latency, cost); propose safeguards and fallback behaviors for agentic flows.
- Support deployment and live stabilization: troubleshoot integrations and model behavior in real environments, iterate quickly, and ensure successful go-live with clear ownership, monitoring, and incident playbooks.
- Balance platform configuration with extensibility to maximize speed and maintainability.
- Co-engineer with customer teams to ensure knowledge transfer, documentation, and reusable patterns.
- Drive delivery plans across the full lifecycle—discovery, build, eval, deployment, and operations—accounting for dependencies across data, security, and enterprise systems.
- Build agentic workflows that invoke tools/APIs safely (function calling patterns), with guardrails, validation, and auditability.
- Implement evaluation strategies (offline/online) to measure output quality, groundedness, safety, and business impact.
- Capture repeatable assets (templates, reference architectures, accelerators) and share feedback loops with internal teams.
- Microsoft 365 Migration & Security — SharePoint Server → SharePoint Online (SP–SPO), Google → Microsoft (GPC–MS). Experienced migration talent especially welcome.
- Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement — Salesforce takeouts (SF Takeout), Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS), and standard CE (Sales / Customer Service / Field Service).
- Copilot Extensibility (M365 & D365) — Copilot and Copilot Studio agents, multi-agent (A2A) orchestration, Microsoft Agent Framework and governance, deep expertise in Work IQ (data, memory, inference) and APIs, enterprise data grounding via Graph/D365/connectors.
- Azure Fabric & Azure AI Foundry — One Lake-based unified data management, Lakehouse architecture for analytics and AI, model catalog usage for model discovery and fine-tuning, enterprise agent development and multi-agent orchestration via Foundry Agent Service, data grounding and RAG using One Lake and Azure AI Search.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Engineering, or related field AND demonstrated experience delivering production software solutions (or equivalent experience).
- 8+ years’ experience delivering enterprise-scale solutions on Microsoft platforms (Dynamics 365 / M365 Copilot/ Power Platform / Azure), including integration, security, and deployment in customer environments.
- Proven experience delivering hands‑on, production-grade solutions across the full delivery lifecycle, including requirement ambiguity, development, deployment, and post‑go‑live stabilization.
- Proven delivery of Dynamics 365 CE/Power Platform solutions, M365 Copilot Solutions, plus experience building AI-infused workflows (recommendations, summarization, case routing, contact center assist, sales/service copilots) with production-grade engineering practices.
- Experience building or extending solutions involving Copilots, AI‑assisted workflows, or intelligent automation is a strong plus.
- Certifications and/or experience in Azure Solutions, Dynamics 365, M365 Copilot and Power Platform; exposure to Azure AI services and GenAI solution patterns is a strong plus.
- Agile delivery, DevOps, CI/CD, and operational readiness (observability, incident response) strongly preferred—especially for AI systems.
- Desirable experience includes Azure solution development, Contact Center solutions, Copilot Studio, and building GenAI/agentic experiences (tool-use orchestration, retrieval grounding, evaluation/quality loops, safety/guardrails).
- Excellent communication: explain AI behaviors, risks, and tradeoffs to technical and non-technical stakeholders; drive alignment from ambiguity to execution.
- Trusted customer-facing engineering presence: collaborate deeply, pair-build with customer teams, and transfer knowledge to ensure long-term maintainability.
- Proactively identify and mitigate risks, including AI-specific failure modes (grounding gaps, unsafe outputs, data leakage) and enterprise constraints (security, privacy, compliance).
- IC role: influence without authority through strong engineering judgment, structured problem-solving, and crisp stakeholder communication.
- Comfort working across time zones and blended onsite/offshore models; thrives in fast-moving, customer-embedded delivery.
Desired Qualifications
- Delivers working GenAI/agentic solutions from prototype to production with measurable customer impact.
- Implements guardrails and evaluation to ensure reliability, groundedness, safety, and cost/performance targets.
- Leaves behind reusable assets, documentation, and enabled customer teams (no dependency).
Benefits
- Embody our culture and values
