Role Summary

Avanade India’s Artificial Intelligence practice is looking for a Microsoft Foundry Lead to drive the technical delivery of generative AI and agentic AI projects and programs built on Microsoft Foundry. This is a hands-on technical leadership role focused on execution — leading engineering teams through design, build, and deployment of AI solutions, ensuring engineering quality and delivery timelines, and acting as the go-to technical authority on live AI engagements within the practice.

Key Responsibilities
- Own technical delivery of Microsoft Foundry engagements — from solution design through build, testing, deployment, and go-live — across one or more concurrent projects.
- Lead and mentor a team of AI engineers, guiding design decisions, code quality, and best practices on Microsoft Foundry-based builds.
- Translate solution architecture into detailed technical design and implementation plans, working closely with Architects and Project/Program Managers.
- Build and review 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.
- Drive engineering standards — coding practices, CI/CD, testing, and performance optimization — across the delivery team.
- Apply Responsible AI, content safety, and governance guardrails to solutions during build and deployment.
- Troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues during build and post-go-live stabilization; own production support escalations where needed.
- Track and report delivery progress, risks, and technical dependencies to project/program leadership.
- Support estimation and technical inputs for ongoing and upcoming project phases within the practice.
- Contribute to reusable delivery accelerators, patterns, and best practices for the AI Engineering job family.
