  • Tune agent behavior, instructions, and prompts within Copilot Studio, and 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/plugin issues.
  • Apply responsible AI practices, including bias, safety, and hallucination checks, during agent development.
  • Collaborate with an architect or team lead on agent design, security, and application lifecycle management alignment, and participate in code/configuration reviews.

Desired Qualifications

  • React.js, .NET full-stack development, and Microsoft Foundry are good-to-have skills.
