Description

The Senior AI/ML Engineer helps move AI from consultant-led pilots to a sustainable internal capability by combining ML engineering, GenAI integration, and prompt engineering into one Senior role. Using Microsoft Foundry, formerly Azure AI Foundry, and the broader Azure AI stack—grounded in governed Microsoft Fabric and One Lake data—this role builds, deploys, monitors, and continuously improves production AI features such as search, personalization, content generation, and internal copilots, reducing reliance on high-cost consulting. The role may initially be proven through consulting support and then internalized once the approach is established.

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS:

Production of AI Capability

• Build and deploy production AI features; search, personalization, content generation, and internal copilots on Microsoft Foundry (Azure AI Foundry).

• Implement LLM and RAG solutions grounded in governed One Lake data, using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to connect models to data and tools.

• Develop and tune prompts, retrieval strategies, and agent workflows via the Foundry Agent Service and model catalog.

MLOps Foundation

• Establish deployment, monitoring, evaluation, and cost-management practices around AI projects — recognizing AI products require continual refinement, not set-and-forget delivery.

• Implement CI/CD for AI artifacts, prompt/model versioning, and automated evaluation.

• Partner with data engineering to keep Fabric/One Lake data AI-ready.

Risk Management & Guardrails

• Implement guardrails, prompt-injection defenses, output validation, and PII handling.

• Ensure technical controls stay aligned with Richemont’s requirements and policies.

• Document responsible-AI practices and model evaluations.

Collaboration & Mentorship

• Work under AI Engineering Manager and partner with data science and data engineering on shared infrastructure.

• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to the AI/ML specialization pathway.
