Tech Lead – Generative AI (Azure / Microsoft)

We are looking for a Technical Lead for generative AI. You will be the technical face towards an international client in a heavy-asset, maintenance-oriented industry, and you will design and lead the delivery of the solutions.

What you will do

• Lead technical discussions with the client’s innovation team, together with our Managing Director
• Translate operational problems in maintenance and logistics into concrete AI use cases
• Design the architecture of GenAI solutions: advanced RAG, AI agents, document and data processing
• Choose the right approach: custom development, Azure AI or Microsoft low-code (Copilot Studio, Power Platform)
• Lead a small team of engineers and take solutions to production
• Define how solutions are run, monitored and supported after go-live

• Scope and estimate work realistically, in phases

   

Must have

• 7+ years of software engineering, including at least 2 years building LLM-based solutions
• At least one GenAI solution in production with real users, not only a prototype
• Advanced RAG: hybrid search, reranking, chunking strategies, permissions, evaluation (e.g. RAGAS, Langfuse)
• AI agents and tool calling (e.g. LangGraph, Semantic Kernel or similar)
• Strong Python
• Experience with Azure OpenAI or Azure AI Foundry
• Integration with existing systems via APIs (ERP, SharePoint, M365, Entra ID)
• Experience leading engineers or acting as tech lead on a project
• Fluent English (C1+); comfortable presenting to senior client stakeholders

• Honest communication: you say “I don’t know” and ask questions when needed

   

Nice to have

• Fine-tuning (LoRA/QLoRA) or self-hosted open-source LLMs (vLLM, Ollama)
• Copilot Studio, Power Platform, Power Automate, AI Builder
• Angular / TypeScript
• Industrial or OT data: time series, sensor data
• Experience in maintenance, asset management, energy, logistics or supply chain

• Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, monitoring

   

   

What we offer

• A lead role on innovative GenAI use cases with an international industrial client
• Direct collaboration with the Managing Director, short decision paths

• Remote work, EU or nearshore
