Technical Lead - Agentic AI (Microsoft Stack)
Permanent | Sydney | $180k + Super + Bonus 

An opportunity to join a high-visibility, greenfield Agentic AI program in a large Australian enterprise. 

This role is firmly embedded in a Microsoft-first environment, leveraging Azure AI capabilities to design and build next-generation, agent-based systems in a real-world enterprise setting.

The Opportunity You’ll be one of the early hires in a newly formed team, working alongside a recently appointed Agentic AI Engineer to define how intelligent systems are built and scaled on the Microsoft ecosystem.

This is a purely technical leadership role - not people management focused - where you’ll operate above senior engineer level, balancing hands-on development with architectural ownership.

• ~60% hands-on engineering
• ~40% architecture, system design, and technical direction

You’ll have the autonomy to shape framework decisions, while working within a Microsoft-aligned cloud and AI stack.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Design and build agent-based AI systems using Azure AI services
• Work extensively with Azure OpenAI, Cognitive Services, and Semantic Kernel
• Define architecture, patterns, and engineering standards for Agentic AI solutions
• Evaluate and evolve frameworks (including integration with tools like LangChain/LangGraph where appropriate)
• Deliver production-grade AI systems within a Microsoft cloud-native environment
• Influence the technical direction of a high-profile AI initiative

What We’re Looking For Core experience:

• Strong software engineering background (Python preferred)
• Hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure (essential)
• Proven experience building with Azure OpenAI / Microsoft AI stack
• Experience designing and deploying production-grade AI systems
• Strong understanding of APIs, microservices, and cloud-native architecture within Azure

Highly regarded:

• Experience with Semantic Kernel, Copilot stack, or Microsoft AI ecosystem tools
• Exposure to agent frameworks (LangChain, LangGraph)
• Background in consulting, product engineering, or innovation-led environments

Why This Role?

• Work on cutting-edge Agentic AI use cases within a Microsoft ecosystem
• Join at the ground level of a greenfield build
• High visibility with direct alignment to senior leadership
• Influence tooling, frameworks, and long-term architecture
• Strong investment in Azure AI capability and innovation
