You will work directly with the client's senior AI engineering leadership across Azure infrastructure and agent/AI platform development.

• Work with the business architect, project management, and engineering leadership on planning and access requests
• Support CI/CD, pipeline, and scripting work (YAML, Python) as the platform roadmap develops

What we're looking for
