Role Purpose
This is a hands-on builder role, focused on delivering practical internal AI tools, automations, and integrations in a governed enterprise environment. It is not a research, pure business analyst, or adoption/training role.

- Connecting systems and moving data via APIs
- Quick prototyping and turning business needs into working solutions
- Working within a Microsoft / Azure enterprise stack
Essential Requirements
- 1-3 years of relevant experience

- Python or JavaScript/TypeScript
- REST APIs and serverless/Azure Functions-style patterns
- Some exposure to Power Platform, Copilot Studio, or workflow tooling
- Enough business understanding to turn ambiguous needs into simple, useful tools
