About the Job

Requirements

  • A minimum of 3 years of experience is required.
  • Strong development experience and hands-on expertise in Microsoft Copilot Studio, including topics, generative orchestration, knowledge sources, publishing, and application lifecycle management.
  • Working knowledge of Power Automate for flow-based automation and integration with Copilot Studio agents.
  • Experience configuring MCP Server/tool connections to extend agent actions.
  • Working familiarity with Azure AI Foundry for model selection, prompt engineering, and grounding patterns such as retrieval-augmented generation and agentic workflows.
  • Understanding of responsible AI principles and bias and safety validation practices.

Responsibilities

  • Develop custom software solutions by designing, coding, and enhancing components across systems or applications, using modern frameworks and agile practices to deliver scalable, high-performing solutions tailored to business needs.
  • Design and build Copilot Studio agents, including topics, trigger phrases, entities, variables, and conversation or agent flows.
  • Configure generative orchestration, knowledge sources, and generative answers to ground agent responses accurately.
  • Build and maintain Power Automate flows to extend agent actions, handle backend processes, and connect to line-of-business systems.
  • Implement and consume MCP Server tool/plugin connections to extend agent capabilities beyond native Copilot Studio actions.
  • Configure and test agent publishing across Teams, web, and custom app channels, and manage development, test, and production environment and application lifecycle management practices.
  • Tune agent behavior, instructions, and prompts within Copilot Studio; use Azure AI Foundry for advanced model selection or custom grounding, such as retrieval-augmented generation, when native capabilities are insufficient.
  • Conduct unit-level testing of topics, flows, and tool integrations, and troubleshoot conversational breakdowns and connector or plugin issues.
  • Apply responsible AI practices, including bias, safety, and hallucination checks, during agent development.
  • Collaborate with the Architect or Team Lead on agent design, security, and application lifecycle management alignment, and participate in code and configuration reviews.

Desired Qualifications

  • React.js, Microsoft Power Apps, and Microsoft Azure PaaS are good-to-have skills.
  • Agile delivery experience is preferred.
  • Strong debugging and conversational-flow troubleshooting skills.
