AI & Automation Engineer

Description:

The AI & Automation Associate supports Boyer’s growing AI and automation practice — researching, prototyping, and developing Copilot Studio agents, Power Platform automations, and Azure AI-powered solutions in support of our Microsoft Dynamics 365 customer base. This is a developer-track role focused on hands-on R&D work, with structured learning and certification pathways to grow into the AI & Automation Engineer role over ~18 months. The Associate reports directly to the VP of Technology and works alongside Boyer’s pre-sales team to deliver internal proofs-of-concept and demo assets.

Core Responsibilities

• R&D — 50% · Stay hands-on with the Microsoft AI ecosystem — Copilot, Copilot Studio, Cowork, Azure AI Foundry, and emerging Microsoft AI capabilities. Build proofs-of-concept, evaluate new features, prototype agents and automations, and translate Microsoft’s AI roadmap into Boyer-ready patterns, accelerators, and demo assets.
• Demo Development — 25% · Build and maintain demo environments and reusable demo assets that pre-sales use with prospects. Work toward customer-facing demo delivery over time — shadow live demos, practice internally, and progressively ramp into a co-presenter role as proficiency develops.
• Continuous Learning — 15% · Pursue Microsoft certifications on a defined pathway. Complete Microsoft Learn labs. Stay current on Copilot Studio and Azure AI releases.
• Internal Enablement Contribution — 10% · Document patterns from R&D work and contribute to Boyer’s internal AI & automation knowledge base.

Requirements:

• 3–5 years of professional experience building solutions on the Microsoft cloud
• Bachelor’s degree preferred — equivalent experience OK

• Production experience with Microsoft Copilot Studio — has shipped at least one agent/copilot to real users
• Working knowledge of Azure AI Foundry / Azure OpenAI — has built or extended an Azure-hosted model solution

• Comfortable presenting to executive and technical audiences — can lead a live demo or discovery without a safety net
• Familiarity with RAG patterns, prompt engineering, and grounding strategies
• Willingness to pursue Microsoft certifications on an ongoing basis
• Travel for client engagements and Microsoft partner events as needed

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience integrating Copilot/AI solutions with Dynamics 365 Business Central or D365 CRM
• Relevant Microsoft AI certifications
