Job Description

We are seeking a highly skilled Technical Lead (AI) who excels in designing, developing, and delivering AI-powered solutions using the latest .NET technologies and GenAI frameworks. You will act as the technical anchor of an agile AI engineering team, guiding solution architecture, enforcing best coding practices, and ensuring robust, scalable, and maintainable delivery across the .NET and GenAI landscape.
You will collaborate closely with architects, product owners, and cross-functional teams to shape technical vision, solve complex problems, and accelerate our journey in AI innovation.
Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the design and development of advanced AI/GenAI features using .NET technologies (C#, ASP.NET Core, Web API).
• Own the technical delivery of GenAI projects by hands-on development, code reviews, and troubleshooting.
• Architect and integrate solutions with Microsoft-deployed AI frameworks (Semantic Kernel, Autogen, ML.NET).
• Guide end-to-end implementation: data acquisition, preprocessing, modeling, deployment, and monitoring--all within .NET.
• Collaborate with product and engineering managers to ensure technical feasibility and high-quality business solutions.
• Drive adoption of DevOps/MLOps best practices (Azure DevOps CI/CD, Git, automated testing).
• Mentor engineers, conduct knowledge-sharing sessions, and champion continuous learning in AI and .NET advancements.
• Champion code quality, security, performance optimizations, and documentation across the delivery lifecycle.
• Participate in architecture discussions, technical evaluation of tools/frameworks, and risk assessments. Ensure cloud-native, secure, and scalable deployments--primarily in Azure/GCP environments.
