  • Experience using GitHub for version control, pull requests, and CI/CD workflows.
  • An agile mindset and the confidence to work in a fast paced, iterative environment.
Desirable Experience
  • Exposure to Azure's AI ecosystem (AI Foundry, AI Search, Cosmos DB, AKS).
  • Experience integrating AI/LLM based services into production systems.
  • Familiarity with modern development tooling such as VS Code and AI assisted coding tools.
Why Apply?
  • Work on a genuinely AI first product with real world commercial impact.
  • Join a collaborative, technically strong team with minimal red tape.
