  • Define and enforce security, identity, network, and data protection controls (RBAC, VNets, NSGs).

  • Operationalize Microsoft Foundry and related AI/ML services to enable agentic applications.

  • Establish monitoring, logging, tracing, and incident response practices to optimize performance and cost.

  • Manage global environments and self-service tenants with proper change governance.

  • Collaborate with platform engineers and stakeholders to maintain technical documentation and drive adoption.

  • Experience working with agentic AI platforms such as Microsoft Foundry or Agent 365.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with LangChain, LangGraph, MCPs, or agentic application patterns.

  • Familiarity with observability tools such as OpenTelemetry or Langfuse.

  • Background in big data or distributed systems (Kubernetes, Spark, Hadoop).

  • Experience with data platforms like Databricks, Snowflake, or Dataiku.
