Role Summary Avanade India's Artificial Intelligence practice is looking for a Microsoft Foundry SME to be a deep technical specialist on generative AI and agentic AI projects built on Microsoft Foundry. This is a hands-on, individual-contributor role for someone who wants to own the technical build - designing and implementing AI components, solving complex implementation challenges, and providing specialist guidance to the wider delivery team. Key Responsibilities Design and build components of Microsoft Foundry solutions: model catalog integration, prompt flow/orchestration, agent design, and RAG pipelines (Azure AI Search, vector indexing, grounding data). Implement multi-agent orchestration patterns using frameworks such as Semantic Kernel, AutoGen, or LangChain/LangGraph. Act as the technical specialist/go-to resource on Microsoft Foundry within project teams, resolving complex implementation issues and edge cases. Support the Microsoft Foundry Lead/Architect in solution design, technical estimation, and implementation planning. Write and review production-quality code; ensure adherence to engineering best practices, testing, and CI/CD standards. Apply Responsible AI, content safety, and governance guardrails during build and deployment.



Support post-go-live stabilization and production issue troubleshooting for deployed AI solutions.

Contribute to reusable code assets, accelerators, and technical documentation for the AI Engineering job family. Stay current with the Microsoft Foundry roadmap and broader generative AI ecosystem, evaluating recent capabilities for project use.
