Manager - Python

We're looking for an Automation Specialist with 4-5 years of experience to join the Operational Excellence team. In this role, you will design, develop, and implement automation solutions using Python, Power Platform, and increasingly, AI/LLM-driven workflows. You'll collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand business requirements and deliver scalable solutions — including intelligent, agentic automations — that help the organization operate more efficiently.

Location – Mumbai

Responsibilities:

• Understand business requirements and translate them into automated flows/scripts, including AI-augmented workflows where LLMs add reasoning, summarization, or decision-making capability.

• Create Power Automate flows based on various triggers.

• Integrate with other apps (model-driven, canvas apps).

• Create and trigger Adaptive Cards via MS Teams/Outlook using Power Automate & Power BI APIs.

• Record/retrieve data in a DB/SharePoint List using PowerApps & Power Automate.

• Work with multiple data formats — establish connections with SharePoint, REST APIs, DBs, Dataflows, and vector/embedding stores.

• Design and implement RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines — document ingestion, chunking, embedding generation, vector search, and grounded response generation.

• Integrate with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Azure OpenAI, etc.) for tasks like summarization, classification, extraction, and conversational interfaces.

• Design and build agentic workflows — multi-step, tool-using automations where an LLM plans and orchestrates actions (e.g., using frameworks like LangChain, LangGraph, Semantic Kernel, or custom orchestration in Python).

• Understand Power BI dataflows and identify data limitations, proposing solutions accordingly.

• Build applications/flows using Python to automate processes, including AI-driven ones.

• Coordinate with development teams to build RESTful web services, including endpoints that wrap or serve LLM-based functionality.

• Write unit test cases for developed code, including evaluation/validation approaches for LLM-based outputs (accuracy, hallucination checks, groundedness).

• Participate in UAT; diagnose and troubleshoot bugs, integration issues, and AI-output quality issues.

• Write reusable, effective, and scalable Python code, including for prompt engineering, chaining, and orchestration logic.

• Architect and build applications, coordinating with teams responsible for other layers of the product/AI infrastructure.

• Write well-documented, clean code — including documentation of prompts, chains, and agent logic for maintainability.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, information technology, or a related field.

• 4-5 years of experience as an Automation Consultant or in a similar role.

• Expert-level proficiency in Python.

• Hands-on experience with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure OpenAI, or similar) and prompt engineering fundamentals.

• Practical understanding of RAG architectures — embeddings, vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, FAISS, Chroma, Azure AI Search), and retrieval strategies.

• Exposure to building or working with agentic frameworks (LangChain, LangGraph, AutoGen, Semantic Kernel, or custom agent orchestration) is a strong plus.

• Familiarity with common databases (RDBMS such as MySQL & NoSQL such as MongoDB); exposure to vector stores is a bonus.

• Knowledge of object-oriented programming techniques.

• Ability to develop functional databases, applications, and servers to support back-end services.

• Understanding of performance optimization and multithreading concepts (relevant to async LLM calls and batch processing).

• Background in containerization tools like Docker is appreciated.

• Strong problem-solving skills and familiarity with code versioning tools such as GitHub.

• Understanding of REST concepts and building/interacting with REST APIs.

• Strong knowledge of Power Automate and creating PowerApps.

• Knowledge and understanding of Power BI APIs, Dataflows & Power Query Editor.

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

• Ability to work independently and as part of a team.

• Strong attention to detail.

Must-have skills:
Python, LLM APIs (OpenAI/Anthropic/Azure OpenAI), RAG pipeline design, Power Automate, PowerApps, REST APIs, Power BI API, SQL, Dataflow, Power Query Editor.

Nice-to-have:
Agentic framework experience (LangChain/LangGraph/AutoGen), vector databases, Docker.
