The Opportunity

As a Senior Associate - Azure AI Engineer you will design and develop generative AI solutions for clients within our Advisory practice, applying Azure-based engineering to application development and modernization.

You will build meaningful client connections by listening to different perspectives, anticipating needs, and explaining tradeoffs in the context of broader business goals. Guiding junior colleagues and reviewing their work will help you develop your approach to managing others while maintaining professional and technical standards. Through feedback and reflection, you will deepen your technical skills, adapt to changing project conditions, and build your professional reputation through dependable delivery.
