Job description
Azure AI Solutions Developer
Job Type: FTE
Location: Remote (can sit anywhere in the US)
Overview
The Azure AI Solutions Developer will lead the creation of AI-powered cloud solutions leveraging Cyclotron’s proven implementation methodology for enterprise projects, as well as contributing to technical pre-sales activities as required. You will be responsible for designing solution architecture, requirement definition, and leading on technical delivery. This position requires both deep Azure platform expertise and AI-native engineering practices—treating AI as a force multiplier in daily work, not a novelty or occasional assistant.
The ideal candidate has moved beyond simple utilization of AI tools and instead leans into their use continuously. They possess deep knowledge of context engineering, retrieval-augmented generation, and agentic architectures—and crucially, they know when these approaches are not required.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and implement AI-enabled cloud solutions on Azure, including agentic systems, Copilot Studio implementations, and Azure OpenAI integrations
- Architect scalable, secure cloud applications with appropriate use of Azure services (App Services, Container Apps, Functions, API Management, Key Vault)
- Build reusable AI workflows
- Interpret business requirements into functional and technical requirements, translating stakeholder needs into working solutions
- Lead technical delivery teams, providing guidance on architecture decisions, code quality, and AI integration patterns
- Engage directly with client stakeholders from C-suite to end users, communicating technical concepts appropriately for each audience
- Collaborate across sales, service delivery, and project management organizations in service to Cyclotron’s clients
- Contribute to technical pre-sales activities, including solution design, effort estimation, and client presentations
Required Qualifications
- 5+ years software development experience with focus on cloud applications
- 3+ years architecting and implementing solutions on Microsoft Azure
- 1+ years technical team leadership or technical management experience
- Current Azure certification (Solutions Architect, Developer, or AI Engineer preferred)

AI Workflow Integration
- History of using AI tools to multiply personal output - Can describe specific workflows where AI handles execution while maintaining architectural control
- Established verification discipline. Runs and tests AI-generated outputs, asks for reasoning not just results, understands failure modes
