Overview

As Microsoft continues to push the boundaries of AI, we are looking for passionate individuals to work on the most interesting and challenging AI questions of our time. Our vision is bold and broad: to build systems with true artificial intelligence across agents, applications, services, and infrastructure.

Security Engineering for Copilot focuses on building and securing systems that accelerate this process by making it easy and safe to incorporate more data and functionality, which might otherwise be too risky. We are seeking a Principal Software Engineer to identify risks and opportunities, then design and build solutions in Copilot, enhancing product and platform security. This includes secure coding standards, API design, infrastructure, sandboxing, automated testing/fuzzing, application security, and intrusion detection.

The ideal candidate will have the judgment to balance risk, velocity, and value, a methodical approach to problem-solving, proficiency in backend technologies, familiarity with applied AI and its security challenges, and the ability to architect durable solutions. Many problems in this space are novel, requiring hands-on experience and a passion for building world-class experiences and products in a fast-paced environment.

Microsoft's mission is to empower every person and organization to achieve more. We foster a culture of respect, integrity, accountability, and inclusion, where everyone can thrive.

Responsibilities

• Build secure and high-performance AI Platform services that power Copilot.
• Solve novel security and privacy challenges at the forefront of applied AI and agential systems.
• Collaborate with platform, infrastructure, application engineers, and AI researchers to develop next-generation AI products and services.
• Ship high-quality, well-tested, secure, and maintainable code.
• Navigate obstacles to deliver solutions rapidly and iteratively to users.
• Work effectively in a fast-paced, design-driven product development environment.
• Embody our culture and values.
