This is a genuinely exciting opportunity for someone who comes from a strong C#/.NET background and has evolved into AI architecture whilst remaining hands-on with development.

• Designing and delivering enterprise-scale AI solutions from concept through to production
• Working extensively with Azure AI services and cloud-native technologies
• Integrating Large Language Models (LLMs) into existing and new applications
• Designing Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) solutions and intelligent knowledge systems
• stablishing best practice around AI governance, security and scalability

Experience required

• Strong commercial experience with C# and .NET development
