• Build process intelligence layers to optimize execution, anomaly detection, and decision automation.
• Develop and deploy RPA-enhanced AI agents for business process transformation.

3. Integration and Testing:

• Integrate Azure AI Search, Vector DBs, and Intelligent Process Automation to extract insights from enterprise data.
• Implement multi-modal AI pipelines handling structured and unstructured inputs for dynamic processing.
• Optimize AI-driven anomaly detection for automated error resolution and predictive analytics.

4. Optimization and Performance Tuning:

• Leverage ML-driven process mining for automated workflow discovery, execution efficiency, and intelligent recommendations.
• Implement continuous AI learning cycles to improve accuracy and execution speed over time.
• Optimize end-to-end process intelligence dashboards using advanced NLP and BI visualizations.

5. Documentation and Knowledge Sharing:

• Develop comprehensive architectural documentation for AI-driven process intelligence solutions.
• Lead knowledge-sharing initiatives to align teams on best practices in GenAI, RPA, and Intelligent Process Automation.
• Mentor teams on AutoGen-based AI workflow orchestration and scalable AI agent development.

Skills Required:

• Must have: AutoGen Framework, CrewAI, WrenAI, Task Automation Agents, and Process Intelligence Systems.
• Must have: Deep experience in AI-driven Process Discovery, Mining, and RPA Integration.
• Must have: Azure AI Search, Vector DBs for process intelligence, and AI-powered workflow automation.
• Must have: Hands-on expertise in SQL, unstructured data processing, and AI-based data curation pipelines.
• 12-14 years in AI platform engineering, process automation, and intelligent systems development.
• 5+ years recent leading AI-powered enterprise automation projects using Python, Flask/Django/FastAPI.
• Expertise in building ML/AI pipelines leveraging Azure Synapse, AI Search, and LLM-based analytics.
• Experience designing vector databases (Pinecone, FAISS, Weaviate, ChromaDB) and AI-powered workflow models.
• Deep expertise in AI/ML-powered business process modeling for task orchestration and intelligent automation.
• Knowledge of Azure Form Recognizer, OCR for intelligent document processing, and NLP-driven automation.
• Hands-on experience with AutoGen, TaskWeaver, RAG, RLHF, and process-driven AI workflow automation.
• Strong communication, architecture sketching, and AI-driven platform development expertise.
