" Use GitHub Copilot as a hands-on engineering environment to analyze existing code, design and implement production-quality changes, generate and maintain tests and documentation, debug failures, review proposed changes, and verify outcomes with executable evidence.
" Design, build, test, and operate AI agents that plan and execute multi-step workflows using LLM reasoning, structured prompts, context and memory, retrieval, APIs, data tools, and human approval gates to enhance data engineering, reporting, testing, and operational processes.
" Develop tool-enabled agents and Model Context Protocol (MCP) integrations that securely connect AI assistants to enterprise APIs and platforms, including BI/reporting services, data products, work-management systems, and operational knowledge sources.
" Implement browser and UI automation agents for authenticated enterprise workflows, evidence capture, regression testing, test generation and healing, and operational workflows, using tools such as Playwright and browser developer protocols.
" Define agent evaluation, observability, and safety controls, including grounded-response checks, deterministic tool contracts, structured outputs, least-privilege credential handling, approval checkpoints, test datasets, execution traces, failure recovery, and measurable quality and productivity outcomes.
" Develop and implement data mesh and data fabric architectures to enable decentralized data management and access.
" Build data and BI development agents that generate and validate SQL, DAX, semantic models, reports, data-product specifications, quality tests, and deployment artifacts while preserving governance, auditability, and human review.
" Develop user personas and business personas in alignment with data requirements and deliver solutions that meet business needs.
" Work with business users to translate functional specifications into technical designs for implementation and deployment
" Work with cross functional team members to develop prototype, produce design artifacts, develop components, perform and support SIT and UAT testing, triaging and bug fixing.
" Provide problem-solving expertise and complex analysis of data to develop business intelligence integration designs
" Ensure high quality and optimum performance of data systems to meet business expectations."
"" 2+ years of hands-on experience using GitHub Copilot or similar AI-assisted engineering tools across the software development lifecycle, including requirements analysis, coding, refactoring, testing, debugging, documentation, code review, and verification.
" 2+ years of hands-on experience designing and building Agentic AI solutions using prompt and context engineering, LLMs, RAG, structured tool/function calling, APIs, memory or state management, human-in-the-loop controls, and AI governance principles.
" Hands-on programming experience in Python, Java, TypeScripts and SQL, with the ability to design agent tools, API clients, MCP servers, command-line workflows, typed data contracts, and automated tests for enterprise use cases.
" Experience integrating agents with enterprise authentication, APIs, databases, knowledge repositories, BI platforms, and browser automation while protecting credentials, sensitive data, and audit trails.
" Demonstrated ability to evaluate agent quality through unit, integration, behavioral, and end-to-end tests; diagnose hallucinations and tool failures; instrument execution; and improve prompts, retrieval, context, and workflows using evidence.
