What You'll Do
Solution Ideation & Architecture
• Lead client ideation sessions - define opportunity areas, shape agentic AI use cases, and translate them into reference architectures and prototype tech stacks.
• Design multi-agent orchestration patterns: agent routing, tool calling, memory management, and guardrails suited to financial services environments.
• Apply design thinking to frame user journeys and desired business outcomes from workshop to first prototype.
Rapid Prototyping & Engineering
• Build agentic AI prototypes in Python - multi-agent pipelines, RAG systems, tool-use workflows - using LangChain, LangGraph, AutoGen, or Semantic Kernel.
• Azure AI Foundry: configure model deployments, prompt flows, evaluation pipelines, and content safety filters.
• Microsoft Copilot Studio: design custom copilots, configure knowledge sources and Power Platform connectors, publish to Microsoft 365 / Teams.

• Integrate LSEG data - RDP APIs, MCP Connectors, Real-Time Optimized feeds - into AI-driven financial workflows.
• Deliver reusable accelerators, notebooks, and demo assets. Scope is prototype-level only - not production or BAU.
Client Workshops & Delivery
• Plan, facilitate, and own end-to-end delivery of innovation workshops - from problem framing to prototype roadmap.
• Work alongside cloud engineers, architects, consultants, and project managers in a fast-paced, agile sprint rhythm.
Pre-Sales & Commercial Support
