Position Overview 

As a Microsoft AI Solutions Developer, you will build client-facing AI solutions across the Microsoft ecosystem, with a primary focus on Azure AI Foundry, Azure OpenAI, Copilot Studio, Microsoft Fabric, Power Platform, and Microsoft 365 data integration. You will collaborate with Microsoft Advisory to translate defined business outcomes, use cases, governance requirements, and solution priorities into technical solutions that can be built, integrated, deployed, and supported.
