Custom Software Engineer

Overview

Builds, configures, and publishes Microsoft Copilot Studio agents end-to-end, designing topics, knowledge sources and generative answers, and extending agent capabilities through Power Automate, MCP Server tool connections and Azure AI Foundry-hosted models where needed.

What you'll do

• Design and build Copilot Studio agents, including topics, trigger phrases, entities, variables, and conversation/agent flows.
• Configure generative orchestration, knowledge sources, and generative answers to ground agent responses accurately.
• Build and maintain Power Automate flows to extend agent actions, handle backend processes, and connect to line-of-business systems.
• Implement and consume MCP Server tool/plugin connections to extend agent capabilities beyond native Copilot Studio actions.
• Configure and test agent publishing across channels (Teams, web, custom apps) and manage environment/ALM practices (dev-test-prod).
• Tune agent behavior, instructions, and prompts within Copilot Studio; use Azure AI Foundry for advanced model selection or custom grounding (e.g., RAG) when native capabilities aren't sufficient.
• Conduct unit-level testing of topics, flows, and tool integrations; troubleshoot conversational breakdowns and connector/plugin issues.
• Apply responsible AI practices, including bias, safety, and hallucination checks, during agent development.
• Collaborate with Architect/Team Lead on agent design, security, and ALM alignment; participate in code/config reviews.

What you'll need

• Minimum 3 years of experience.
• Must have: Microsoft Copilot Studio.
• Strong development experience, with strong hands-on expertise in Copilot Studio (topics, generative orchestration, knowledge sources, publishing, and ALM).
• Working knowledge of Power Automate for flow-based automation and integration with Copilot Studio agents.
• Experience configuring MCP Server/tool connections to extend agent actions.
• Working familiarity with Azure AI Foundry for model selection, prompt engineering, and grounding patterns (RAG, agentic workflows) as a supporting skill.
• Understanding of responsible AI principles and bias/safety validation practices.
• Strong debugging and conversational-flow troubleshooting skills.
• 15 years full-time education.

Nice to have

• React.js, .Net Full Stack Development, Microsoft Foundry.
• Agile delivery experience.
