Job Description

At DVT, we build technology solutions that solve real business challenges. As a leading software engineering and technology consulting company, we partner with clients across industries to deliver innovative, high-quality solutions using modern engineering practices and emerging technologies.

DVT is partnering with a leading enterprise client to build secure, scalable, AI-powered platforms that will transform how teams work, automate decision-making, and accelerate business outcomes.

We're looking for a Senior AI Software Engineer who combines deep .NET engineering expertise with modern AI development practices. This role is ideal for a senior software engineer who can build robust APIs, cloud-native services, AI orchestration layers, and enterprise-grade solutions leveraging Azure AI technologies.

This is a hands-on engineering opportunity where you'll architect, build, and deploy production-ready AI systems rather than experiment in isolated proof-of-concepts.

Requirements

What You'll Do

As a Principal AI Software Engineer, you'll play a key role in shaping and delivering enterprise AI capabilities that are reliable, secure, and scalable.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Designing and building enterprise-grade AI applications using C#, .NET, and Azure.

• Building intelligent applications leveraging Azure OpenAI and Large Language Models (LLMs).
• Designing and implementing Agentic AI solutions capable of autonomous task execution and workflow orchestration.
• Developing Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) solutions using vector databases and semantic search.
• Building reusable platform services that enable AI adoption across the broader technology landscape.
• Creating robust integration layers between AI services and enterprise platforms.
• Implementing MLOps and DevOps practices to support reliable AI deployment and monitoring.
• Ensuring solutions meet enterprise security, governance, and compliance requirements.
• Providing technical leadership, mentorship, and architectural guidance to engineering teams.
