Role Overview

We are looking for an AI Platform Engineer with strong experience in Azure and Snowflake to design, implement, and govern our next-generation AI capabilities. You will be responsible for enabling and operating Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, establishing robust data and access controls, and working with multiple stakeholders to connect AI clients and agents in a secure, compliant manner.

This role sits at the intersection of cloud infrastructure, data platforms, and AI enablement, and will be a key contributor to our enterprise AI strategy.

Key Responsibilities

1. AI Enablement in Azure & Snowflake

  • Design, deploy, and maintain MCP servers in Azure and Snowflake-based environments to support AI agents and developer workflows.
  • Implement and manage data access patterns and governance controls to ensure AI systems only access permitted data (e.g., role-based access control, data masking, tokenization, and row-level security).
  • Integrate AI capabilities with existing data pipelines, data warehouses, and lakehouse architectures in Azure and Snowflake.
  • Collaborate with data engineering teams to ensure data quality, lineage, and observability for AI use cases.

2. Connectivity & Integration with AI Clients and Agents

  • Work closely with application teams, data teams, and security teams to establish secure connectivity between AI clients, AI agents, and backend data/services.
  • Define and implement APIs, connectors, and integration patterns between AI agents and enterprise systems, including identity and access management (IAM).
  • Partner with InfoSec / Cybersecurity to ensure that AI agent connectivity adheres to organizational security standards, including network segmentation, authentication, and authorization.
  • Troubleshoot and optimize connectivity issues between AI clients/agents and Azure, Snowflake, and other downstream systems.

3. Governance, Compliance, and Best Practices

  • Establish guardrails for AI usage, including data classification, allowed data domains, and acceptable use of AI within the environment.
  • Document and enforce standards, patterns, and reusable components for AI integrations across teams.
  • Support audits and risk assessments by providing clear documentation around data flows, access controls, and AI system behavior.

4. (Optional / Nice-to-Have) Microsoft 365 & Azure MCP Enablement

  • Configure and manage MCP servers for Microsoft 365 and Azure to support agent and developer access to enterprise content.
  • Work with collaboration and productivity teams to integrate AI agents with M365 tools (e.g., SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive) under strict governance and compliance policies.
  • Define policies and access controls for how agents and developers can interact with M365 and Azure resources via MCP.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Solid hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure (e.g., Azure Data services, networking, security, identity).
  • Practical experience with Snowflake (data modeling, security, roles, governance, integrations).
  • Proven experience enabling or integrating AI/ML systems with enterprise data platforms (e.g., LLMs, AI agents, or similar architectures).
  • Strong understanding of access control, security, and governance concepts (RBAC, ABAC, encryption, key management, data privacy).
  • Experience implementing APIs, microservices, or integration frameworks to connect applications and services.
  • Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform, Bicep, ARM templates) and DevOps/CI-CD practices.

Key Skills & Competencies

  • Experience with Model Context Protocol (MCP) concepts, agent frameworks, or similar context/connector architectures.
  • Hands-on work with AI platforms such as Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Studio, or other LLM platforms.
  • Experience integrating with Microsoft 365 (SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive, Outlook) from applications or services.
  • Familiarity with data governance tools and frameworks (e.g., Purview, Collibra, Alation) and enterprise identity (Entra ID / Azure AD).
  • Background in enterprise security, compliance, or regulated industries (e.g., finance, healthcare, public sector).
  • Security-first mindset, able to balance usability and risk controls.
  • Stakeholder management: comfortable working with security, data, infra, and product teams.

Prepare your application

Use the description above to assess your fit for KANINI. This checklist is guidance from Resumize, rather than additional requirements from the employer. Imported listings can be shortened or change after collection, so confirm the complete description and current availability before sending an application.

Match requirements to evidence

Identify the responsibilities and skills the employer explicitly names. For each important requirement, choose one example from your work, education, training, or projects. Explain what you did, how you did it, and what changed as a result. Include a measurable outcome when you can support it. If you lack a requirement, describe related experience accurately instead of adding an unfamiliar skill to your resume.

Put the most relevant examples near the top of your resume. Keep job titles, dates, qualifications, and contact details consistent across your application materials. Use the employer’s terminology when it describes your experience accurately; a copied list of keywords does not explain your contribution. A short, specific bullet is easier to review than a paragraph that mixes several unrelated duties.

Check the working arrangement

Confirm the location, schedule, employment type, and any eligibility requirements on the employer’s site. A remote label does not establish worldwide eligibility or flexible hours. If compensation, benefits, equipment, travel, or contract duration are missing from this listing, write down your questions for the recruiter. Do not assume details from another opening at the same company apply to this role.

Review before submitting

Follow the employer’s requested file format and application instructions. Open your exported resume and check that its text is selectable, its sections read in order, and its links work. Proofread names, dates, and contact information. Share confidential work samples only when you have permission, and use an anonymized example when necessary.

Submit through a trusted employer or recruiting destination. If the original listing has disappeared, search the employer’s careers page for the title rather than assuming the vacancy remains open. Save the application date, job reference, and the version of your resume you sent. Those details help you prepare for a later conversation and avoid submitting conflicting information through several job boards.

Review your resume for writing and readability feedback, or browse other openings if this opportunity is unavailable.
