What We're Looking For
Michael Baker International is seeking a Senior Microsoft AI Developer to join our CTO organization in a fully remote capacity. In this role, you will design and deliver enterprise-grade AI-capable applications and Copilot Studio agents that enable the organization to scale intelligent solutions across the Microsoft ecosystem. You will partner closely with IT, Data & AI, Cybersecurity, Legal, and business stakeholders to build, govern, and continuously improve AI-powered solutions — driving meaningful adoption and measurable business impact.
This is a development-focused role. You will own the engineering and delivery of AI solutions built on Microsoft Copilot Studio, Azure AI Foundry, and the Microsoft Power Platform, working alongside a dedicated Power Platform Administrator who owns tenant governance and the Center of Excellence (CoE) Toolkit.
This is a fully remote position supporting the United States. Michael Baker International does not sponsor employment visas for this position.
What You'll Do
• Design, build, and maintain Copilot Studio agents — including topics, actions, tools, orchestration, connectors, and knowledge grounding — integrated with enterprise data sources, Microsoft 365, and line-of-business systems
• Implement retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) patterns against enterprise content in SharePoint, Dataverse, and other MBI systems to keep agent responses accurate and traceable
• Develop and deploy generative AI solutions on Azure AI Foundry and Azure OpenAI, including model selection, prompt engineering, and systematic output evaluation
• Build and consume Azure AI and Azure OpenAI APIs in Python to extend Copilot Studio agents and custom applications beyond out-of-the-box platform capabilities
• Develop supporting Power Apps and Power Automate flows where they are the right delivery vehicle for an AI-enabled use case
• Implement responsible AI practices — including input validation, prompt injection defense, and security guardrails — as first-class engineering requirements
• Partner with Data & AI teams to align solutions with the organization's broader GenAI and Azure AI strategy
• Support proof-of-concepts (PoCs), pilots, MVPs, and production deployments of AI-capable applications; document architectural patterns and manage solution assets in source control
• Provide technical guidance, training, and enablement to makers, developers, and business stakeholders building AI solutions
• Promote engineering best practices including source control discipline, automated build and release pipelines, and solution performance and maintainability standards
• Track usage and impact of deployed agents and AI solutions; use insights to drive continuous improvement
What You Need to Succeed
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field, or equivalent experience
• 7+ years of experience with Microsoft technologies, including hands-on application development
• Demonstrated experience building and deploying Copilot Studio agents in an enterprise environment
• Strong experience developing solutions using Azure AI Foundry, Azure OpenAI, and the Microsoft Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate, Dataverse)
• Proficiency in Python for developing, integrating, and automating AI solutions and services
• Demonstrated experience with source control and modern deployment practices including Git, branching strategies, and CI/CD pipelines
• Working knowledge of prompt engineering, RAG patterns, grounding, and evaluation of generative AI output
• Experience integrating solutions with Microsoft 365, Azure services, and external APIs
• Strong communication skills with the ability to translate technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders
Nice to Have
• Experience with Azure AI Foundry model catalog, Azure Fabric (including Databricks), or enterprise GenAI platforms
• Experience with Power Platform extensibility — custom connectors, Azure Functions, REST APIs
• Background supporting large-scale citizen developer or maker programs
• Microsoft certifications (Azure AI Engineer Associate, Power Platform Developer Associate, or related)
• Familiarity with responsible AI frameworks, AI governance standards, or AI security practices
• AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) industry exposure
Compensation
The approximate compensation range for this position is $120,179 to $170,000. This compensation range is a good faith estimate for the position at the time of posting. Actual compensation is dependent upon factors such as education, qualifications, experience, skillset, and physical work location.
