About Our Team The Smart Manufacturing and Artificial Intelligence (SMAI) organization is leading Micron’s AI-first transformation by building intelligent applications, AI-powered platforms, data products, and automation solutions that accelerate innovation across manufacturing, engineering, and business operations. We are looking for an experienced and highly motivated Senior AI Full Stack Engineer who combines strong software engineering expertise with practical experience in Artificial Intelligence, cloud-native application development, data integration, and enterprise solution delivery. In this role, you will work with engineers, data scientists, architects, product owners, and business stakeholders to design and deliver secure, scalable, and production-ready AI solutions that create measurable business value across Micron. Position Overview As a Senior AI Full Stack Engineer, you will lead the architecture, design, development, deployment, and operationalization of enterprise-grade AI-powered applications. You will combine deep software engineering expertise with hands-on experience in Generative AI, Agentic AI, cloud-native engineering, data platforms, APIs, and modern user experiences. You will independently own complex technical outcomes, influence architecture decisions, guide engineering practices, mentor junior engineers, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver reliable and maintainable solutions. You will build enterprise-grade backend services and APIs using C# and .NET with ASP.NET Core, develop modern frontend applications, and integrate technologies such as Large Language Models, AI agents, Retrieval-Augmented Generation, Model Context Protocol, enterprise data platforms, and cloud services. You will also establish engineering practices that improve software quality, security, reliability, observability, development velocity, and production support readiness. Key Responsibilities Solution Architecture and Technical Ownership Lead the end-to-end architecture, design, development, testing, deployment, and support of full-stack and AI-powered applications. Translate complex business requirements and non-functional requirements into scalable solution architectures, technical designs, and executable delivery plans. Own complex features, services, and platforms from initial design through production deployment and ongoing support. Evaluate technical alternatives and make balanced architecture decisions considering scalability, reliability, security, cost, maintainability, and delivery timelines. Create and maintain solution architecture documents, technical specifications, API contracts, data flows, and architecture decision records. Identify technical risks, dependencies, assumptions, and constraints early in the development lifecycle. Drive technical alignment across engineering, architecture, data science, platform, security, and product teams. Full-Stack Application Development Design and develop secure, scalable, and maintainable backend services using C#, .NET, ASP.NET Core, and RESTful APIs. Apply object-oriented design, dependency injection, asynchronous programming, domain-driven design, and clean architecture principles where appropriate. Develop responsive, accessible, and reusable frontend components using frameworks such as Angular, React, Blazor, or Vue.js. Design and implement reusable APIs, microservices, event-driven services, and enterprise integration components. Implement secure authentication and authorization patterns for frontend, backend, API, and service-to-service communication. Optimize application performance, API responsiveness, database access, and resource utilization. Create reusable libraries, frameworks, templates, and engineering accelerators that improve development consistency and productivity. Integrate enterprise systems, data platforms, cloud services, third-party services, and manufacturing applications. Generative AI and Agentic AI Engineering Design and implement applications that integrate Large Language Models and Generative AI capabilities. Build enterprise solutions using technologies such as Azure OpenAI, Microsoft Semantic Kernel, Microsoft Copilot, or equivalent AI platforms. Develop Retrieval-Augmented Generation solutions that combine LLMs with enterprise knowledge and data sources. Design document ingestion and retrieval pipelines, including document parsing, chunking, metadata extraction, embeddings, vector indexing, semantic search, reranking, and grounded response generation. Develop prompt templates, system instructions, tool definitions, function-calling integrations, and structured response mechanisms. Build AI agents and copilots that securely interact with enterprise APIs, tools, workflows, databases, and applications. Implement Model Context Protocol or similar integration patterns that enable governed connectivity between AI agents, enterprise tools, and data sources. Design agentic workflows covering planning, tool selection, task execution, validation, exception handling, and human review. Implement AI evaluation approaches for response quality, relevance, groundedness, accuracy, safety, latency, and cost. Establish prompt, model, configuration, and evaluation versioning practices. Develop safeguards against prompt injection, unauthorized tool access, sensitive-data exposure, hallucination, and unsafe model behavior. Apply appropriate human-in-the-loop controls for high-impact or sensitive AI use cases. Evaluate emerging AI frameworks, models, and tools through structured prototypes and technical assessments. Data Engineering and Integration Design and integrate relational, non-relational, analytical, streaming, and vector data sources. Develop reliable data pipelines that support AI applications, analytical workloads, and enterprise integrations. Apply strong SQL and data-modeling practices to support application and AI use cases. Integrate databases such as Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and other enterprise data platforms. Work with non-relational databases, document stores, cache technologies, vector databases, and cloud-managed data services. Define and enforce data contracts, validation rules, lineage expectations, and data-quality controls. Optimize data access patterns, queries, indexes, caching approaches, and retrieval performance. Collaborate with data engineers and data scientists to operationalize data and model workflows. Ensure appropriate access controls, data classification, retention, privacy, and governance requirements are incorporated into solution designs. Cloud-Native and Platform Engineering Design and deploy enterprise applications on Azure, GCP, AWS, OpenShift, Kubernetes, or equivalent cloud and container platforms. Build containerized applications using Docker and deploy them through Kubernetes or OpenShift. Design applications for scalability, resiliency, availability, recoverability, and efficient resource utilization. Use managed cloud services where appropriate for application hosting, AI integration, messaging, data processing, storage, monitoring, and security. Configure application environments, secrets, certificates, identity access, network connectivity, and runtime settings. Contribute to infrastructure-as-code and configuration-managem
