HumanIT Digital Consulting AI Engineer (Azure OpenAI/Semantic Kernel) - Hybrid Lisbon/Porto (3 days/week office)
Summary
Senior AI Engineer (4 openings) building and industrializing production-grade GenAI agents — LLMs, RAG, agent orchestration, and LLMOps — within the Microsoft/Azure ecosystem (Azure OpenAI, Semantic Kernel, .NET 8, Python), on a hybrid basis (3 days/week in office) in Lisbon or Porto.
ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY
We're looking for four Senior AI Engineers to join a well-established organization investing heavily in enterprise-grade AI Agent solutions. This is a rare opportunity to work on production-grade Generative AI systems within the Microsoft/Azure ecosystem, not just proofs of concept. You'll be part of a team building, deploying, and industrializing AI agents that integrate directly with core business systems, with real ownership over how these solutions move from design to production at scale.
PROJECT & CONTEXT
The team is designing and developing AI Agents and GenAI-powered automation to support enterprise processes, combining LLMs, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and agent orchestration frameworks with existing business systems. The mandate goes beyond experimentation: the priority is industrialization within the Microsoft/Azure ecosystem, covering automated deployment, CI/CD, observability, model evaluation and testing, quality and cost monitoring, security, access control, and full LLMOps/MLOps practices.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR (Required)
- Minimum 5 years of Software Engineering experience, including at least 2 years in AI/GenAI
- Proven experience designing and developing AI Agents
- Hands-on experience with Generative AI, LLMs, RAG, and agent frameworks
- Experience integrating AI solutions with enterprise systems
- Experience with process automation and agent orchestration
- Working knowledge of cloud platforms and AI services
- Proficiency in Microsoft Azure, Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Foundry, Semantic Kernel, Azure AI Search, .NET 8, and Python
- Experience with React / TypeScript and Azure DevOps
- Ability to bring AI solutions to production: automated deployment, CI/CD, observability, model evaluation/testing, quality and cost monitoring, security, and access control
- Minimum B2 English (Upper Intermediate)
NICE TO HAVE (Preferred)
- Experience with Copilot Studio
- Familiarity with MCP (Model Context Protocol)
- Experience with LangChain, LangGraph, AutoGen, or CrewAI
COMPENSATION
Compensation: up to €2,600/month net, depending on experience and seniority level.
