If you have ever wanted to change the world with a dream team of exceptional people, then consider joining us in building cloud-enabled personal computing solutions for human and agentic workers of the future.
We are the Windows Cloud organization at Microsoft ; our Product lines include Windows 365, a cloud service that introduces a new way to experience Windows 10 or Windows 11 to businesses of all sizes. Windows 365 takes the operating system to the Microsoft cloud, streaming the full Windows experience — apps, data and settings — to personal or corporate devices. Secure by design and built with the principles of Zero Trust, Windows 365 secures and stores information in the cloud, not on the device, providing a secure, productive experience for workers from interns and contractors to software developers and industrial designers. Generally available since August 2021, we now have millions of active users around the globe, through thousands of Enterprise customers.
We have exciting new opportunities in the Windows 365 engineering team to help customers take advantage of modern technologies to provide virtualized apps and desktops hosted on Azure.
As a Senior Product Manager in Windows 365, you will get an amazing opportunity to demonstrate leadership at both business and technology level.

As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.
Responsibilities
Just like applications were brought to the cloud with SaaS, we are now bringing the operating system to the cloud with Windows 365, providing organizations with greater flexibility and a secure way to empower their workforce to be more productive and connected, regardless of location. Windows Apps and Desktops remain the mission critical component of our commercial customers’ workplace and are therefore a critical aspect of our customer promise. You will work closely with end users and IT admins in commercial customers and partners to gather and prioritize requirements to help them successfully migrate their workloads to the cloud, where they can remain productive, secure, and up-to-date.
Inside Microsoft you will collaborate closely with the Windows 365 engineering team as well as other engineering teams at Microsoft (e.g. Azure Virtual Desktop, Azure, Windows, Office, Microsoft Endpoint Manager). You will work as a feature PM to define the vision and value prop of certain feature areas, collect customer requirements, define the scenarios and drive the feature crews to deliver and validate the solution.

Overview
About the Team
Consumer Copilot Security is at the core of Microsoft's mission to deliver trusted, human-centered AI experiences. We make security and resilience intrinsic to every Copilot interaction—across devices, platforms, and ecosystems. Our work spans secure identity flows, defenses against emerging threats like prompt injection, and privacy-first systems that scale globally. We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our team.
Copilot is becoming an autonomous system that reasons, plans, and acts on behalf of hundreds of millions of users—across consumer and enterprise experiences, surfaces, and modalities. It books meetings, drafts documents, executes multi-step workflows, and orchestrates actions across tools, data, and services. The scope and autonomy are expanding fast. So is the trust surface.
Copilot Security & Trust Engineering makes Copilot a trusted companion—safe to use without fear as autonomy becomes the default. The Identity & Isolation team owns the foundational systems that make this possible: authentication and identity experiences that reduce friction and increase trust, workload isolation and adaptive sandboxing that constrain agent authority and blast radius, and agentic access control that governs what Copilot can do, with what data, and on whose behalf—continuously and at runtime.
About the Role
Copilot for consumers depends on a rock-solid identity and isolation foundation that makes personalized AI experiences safe and seamless across Windows, Edge, web, and mobile. As Copilot evolves into an agential system—planning, reasoning, and taking actions on behalf of users—the identity layer must evolve with it: authenticating users across surfaces, authorizing agent actions at runtime, isolating execution contexts, and enforcing trust boundaries that hold under adversarial pressure.
We're seeking a Senior Software Engineer to design and build core identity and isolation systems across Copilot experiences, partnering closely with Microsoft's central identity platform and related teams. You'll own significant features end-to-end—from design through production operation—tackling novel risks at the frontier of agential AI while applying proven identity patterns where they fit and inventing new ones where they don't.
This role demands solid backend engineering skills, working knowledge of modern consumer identity protocols, and the ability to ship reliable, secure systems at scale. You'll operate with a high degree of independence, make sound trade-offs between risk and velocity, and mentor others on the team.
Why This Role Matters
Your work will secure AI experiences for hundreds of millions of users worldwide. Most identity roles focus on maintaining existing systems with well-understood patterns. Here, the problems are new—how do you manage authentication across chained agent tool calls? How do you enforce authorization boundaries when an agent's plan evolves at runtime? How do you isolate execution contexts that share memory and data—and your code ships into a product operating under real-world adversarial pressure?
Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.

Responsibilities
- Identity & authorization systems: Design and implement authentication, session management, token issuance/validation, and authorization flows for consumer Copilot across Windows, Edge, web, iOS, and Android.
- Isolation & containment: Build and harden execution context isolation, information-flow controls, and boundary enforcement mechanisms that constrain what agents can access and do.
- Cross-surface consistency: Contribute to common authentication/SSO patterns and SDKs that ensure seamless UX and consistent security controls across consumer surfaces and modalities.
- Agential identity patterns: Implement authentication and authorization patterns for AI-powered, agential flows—supporting secure delegation, scoped consent, and safe orchestration of actions across devices and services.
- Platform integration: Partner with Microsoft Account and central identity teams to land platform capabilities in Copilot consumer scenarios at scale.
- Metrics & observability: Contribute to key authentication and isolation metrics, dashboards, and monitoring; use telemetry to detect anomalous behavior and drive improvements.
- Hands-on engineering: Ship secure, well-tested, maintainable code and frameworks that other teams can adopt. Participate in code reviews, design discussions, and threat modeling sessions.
- Product mindset: Balance customer experience with consumer-grade security, privacy, and compliance expectations.

Senior Technical Program Manager - Applied Science | Microsoft Careers
$119800 - $234700
Open Role Brief
Quick scan for responsibilities, requirements, and tone before you dive deeper.
Overview
The Applied Science team in Developer Division builds the intelligence behind GitHub Copilot, VS Code, and Visual Studio — products used by tens of millions of developers daily. We partner with product teams across several active science projects, driving evaluation, model integration, and responsible AI at a scale few teams in the industry can match.
We're a team of builders. We ship fast, measure rigorously, and iterate. We believe the most impactful AI safety work happens inside product teams — embedded alongside the scientists and engineers building the models — not in separate review boards or governance committees.
You will be joining at a moment of significant expansion, helping define what responsible AI at product scale looks like for the next generation of developer tools.
We're looking for a Technical Program Manager who can own the responsible, safe, and compliant delivery of AI capabilities, not from the sidelines, but embedded deep in the technical details alongside applied scientists and engineers. You'll shape how models get evaluated, how features ship safely, and how privacy-by-design becomes muscle memory across the organization. This is a high-uncertainty, high-impact domain. Requirements change as models evolve, and the program management playbook is still being written. You'll need to be comfortable shaping the path as you walk it.
Responsibilities
In this role, you will:
-
Own Responsible AI delivery end-to-end —Serve as the lead Responsible AI (RAI) Champion for GitHub Copilot features, partnering closely with applied scientists, engineers, and product teams to drive day‑to‑day RAI execution for model and product releases, ensuring release readiness through consistent application of required governance, safety evaluations, monitoring plans, and compliance checkpoints as products, models, and RAG scenarios evolve.
-
Influence and drive evaluation quality and coverage — Partner with applied science engineering to own the deployment and continuous execution of Responsible AI (RAI) and safety evaluations for product releases, including maintaining and evolving evaluation suites as requirements, models, and product scenarios change, and own the execution of the RAI monitoring plan to ensure ongoing compliance and signal detection post‑deployment.
-
Drive cross-functional coordination at scale — Operate across product and science teams, maintaining program plans including task assignments, dependencies, and resource allocations, driving execution and monitoring progress against milestones; Establish and track success metrics (KPIs) for AI model quality and program efficiency; communicate progress and risks to stakeholders and leadership.
-
Embed privacy-by-design across the ML lifecycle — from data pipelines and dataset curation through model training, evaluation, and production deployment. Ensure privacy and compliance (ex: GDPR, CCPA) is built into the workflow by design.
- Build the playbook — this is an emerging discipline. You'll define processes, create frameworks, and establish the program management infrastructure for responsible AI delivery. Much of what you build will be first-of-its-kind.
Qualifications
Required Qualifications
-
Bachelor's Degree AND 4+ years experience in engineering, product/technical program management, data analysis, or product development

-
Experience working on complex legal or governance projects in a fast-paced technology setting;
-
Hands-on experience designing, running, and maintaining LLM/GenAI evaluation suites and iterating them as requirements and product scenarios change;
-
Knowledge of relevant regulatory frameworks such as the EU AI Act, GDPR, or similar.

- Comfort with ambiguity:This team is new. The charter is evolving. You'll help define the operating model, not just execute someone else's playbook.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with enterprise platform ecosystems (ServiceNow, Power Platform, Salesforce, etc.) — understanding how specialized platforms operate helps you see the common patterns your team will centralize
- Background in federated or multi-org environments where you've managed org isolation, cross-org billing, and administrative boundaries

Overview
Copilot is becoming an agentic system: it can plan, reason, and take actions across tools, data, and services. Securing that kind of system requires more than traditional boundaries or static controls—it demands adaptive defenses, intelligent guardrails, and provable isolation that operate continuously at runtime.
Copilot Security and Privacy is responsible for building those capabilities directly into Copilot. Our work focuses on new security primitives for agentic AI, including real‑time intent validation, workload isolation with verifiable guarantees, AI‑driven guardrails, and offensive security techniques that model how intelligent systems fail under pressure.
We are hiring a Principal Security Engineer to help design and build these systems end‑to‑end. This is a hands‑on engineering role for someone who wants to ship production code into a globally deployed AI platform—developing adaptive defenses, agentic offensive security, and security architectures that scale with autonomy. The problems are technically deep, often unsolved, and central to making advanced AI systems deployable in the real world.
Most security roles focus on protecting existing systems. This role helps define the security architecture for systems that are still being invented.
You will work at the intersection of AI, security, privacy, and distributed systems—building defenses that enable safe autonomy rather than limiting innovation. If you want to shape how agentic AI is secured at global scale, this is a uniquely high‑impact opportunity.
Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals.

Senior Software Engineer - AI Infrastructure (Scheduler) - CoreAI | Microsoft Careers
$119800 - $234700
Open Role Brief
Quick scan for responsibilities, requirements, and tone before you dive deeper.
Overview
The AI Platform organization builds the end-to-end Azure AI stack, from the infrastructure layer to the PaaS and user experience offerings for AI application builders, researchers, and major partner groups across Microsoft. The platform is core to Azure’s innovation, differentiation and operational efficiency, as well as the AI-related capabilities of all of Microsoft’s flagship products, from M365 and Teams to GitHub Copilot and Bing Copilot. We are the team building the Azure OpenAI service, AI Foundry, Azure ML Studio, Cognitive Services, and the global Azure infrastructure for managing the GPU and NPU capacity running the largest AI workloads on the planet.
One of the major, mature offerings of AI Platform is Azure ML Services. It provides data scientists and developers a rich experience for defining, training, fine-tuning, deploying, monitoring, and consuming machine learning models. We provide the infrastructure and workload management capabilities powering Azure ML Services, and we engage directly with some of the major internal research and applied ML groups using these services, including Microsoft Research and the Bing WebXT team.
As part of AI Platform, the AI Infra team is looking for a Senior Software Engineer - AI Infrastructure (Scheduler) - CoreAI. The scheduler is the “brains” of the AI Infra control plane. It governs access to the GPU and NPU capacity of the platform according to a complex system of workload preference rules, placement constraints, optimization objectives, and dynamically interacting policies aimed to maximize hardware utilization and fulfill greatly varying needs of users and the AI Platform partner services in terms of workload types, prioritization, and capacity targeting flexibility. The scheduler’s set of capabilities is broad and ambitions. It manages quota, capacity reservations, SLA tiers, preemption, auto-scaling, and a wide range of configurable policies. Global scheduling is a distinctive major feature that overcomes the regional segmentation of the Azure compute fleet by treating the GPU capacity as a single global virtual pool, which greatly increases capacity availability and utilization for major classes of ML workload. We have achieved this capability without allowing a major global single point of failure, based on regional instances of the scheduler service interacting via peer-to-peer protocols for sharing capacity inventory and coordinating handoff of jobs for scheduling. Our system manages significant amount of GPU capacity even outside Azure datacenters, through a unified model and operational process and highly generalized, flexible workload scheduling capabilities.
To be able to manage the inherent complexity of the Scheduler subsystem and enable it to meet the stringent expectations of high service reliability, availability, and throughput, we emphasize rigorous engineering, utmost precision and quality, and ownership—from feature design to livesite. Quality mindset, attention to detail, development process rigor, and data-driven design and problem-solving skills are key for success in our mission-critical control plane space.
