A Day in the Life:

In the position of Sr. AI Solution Engineer, you will lead the AI SWAT team's embedded engagements with business units, owning the path from opportunity to production artificial intelligence (AI) agent and the business results that follow. Rotating across Sales, Accounting/Finance, Marketing, Legal/HR, and Supply Chain/Operations, set the technical approach for each engagement, design and build the most complex solutions using Microsoft Copilot Studio, Microsoft Foundry, OpenAI and Claude models, Agentforce, and Microsoft Fabric data, and decide when to configure, build, or buy. Mentor and review the work of the AI Engineer, partner with the AI Architect and AI Data Engineer on reusable patterns, and report value realized to business leaders and the AI Steering Committee.

The Impact You'll Make:

• Engagement Leadership & Use-Case Portfolio — Lead embedded engagements with business-unit leaders; run discovery, ride-alongs, process mapping, and value sizing; own a prioritized portfolio of AI use cases per business unit with baselines, target key performance indicators (KPIs), and business cases.
• Solution Design & Technical Approach — Set the technical approach for each solution: choose the platform (Microsoft Copilot / Copilot Studio, Microsoft Foundry / Azure OpenAI, Salesforce Agentforce, SAP Joule) and model (e.g., OpenAI GPT-5.6, Claude Sonnet 5.5 or Opus 5.5), design multi-step and multi-agent workflows with human-in-the-loop controls, and make configure-build-buy recommendations within the AI Architect's standards.
• Build Complex Production Agents — Personally build and ship the most complex agents and automations, including custom code with OpenAI / Azure OpenAI and Claude tool calling, agent frameworks, Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools across Salesforce and SAP, retrieval over Microsoft Fabric and SharePoint content, and Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery (CI/CD); use Cursor or Claude Code to accelerate delivery.
• Evaluation Strategy & Production Readiness — Define evaluation strategy and acceptance criteria (accuracy, groundedness, safety, cost per task); approve production readiness; lead Responsible AI (RAI), security, privacy, and legal reviews for team solutions.
• Mentorship & Quality Review — Mentor the AI Engineer; review prompts, code, flows, and evaluation results; set team delivery standards, estimates, and engagement playbooks.
• Executive Communication & Value Realization — Present solution designs, trade-offs, and results to directors and vice presidents; track and report value realized (hours returned, cycle time, quality, adoption, cost) in Power BI to business leaders and the AI Steering Committee.
• Adoption & Change Leadership — Lead adoption and workflow redesign with process owners; plan rollout, training, and support handoff so solutions are sustained in steady-state operations.
• Pattern Contribution & Platform Feedback — Turn proven solutions into reusable agent templates, prompt libraries, MCP tools, and workflow templates; bring platform and data requirements to the AI Architect and AI Data Engineer and help shape team standards.
