Member of Technical Staff, Engineering Manager - Copilot Applications

Overview

As Microsoft continues to push the boundaries of AI, we are on the lookout for passionate individuals to work with us on the most interesting and challenging AI questions of our time. Our vision is bold and broad - to build systems that have true artificial intelligence across agents, applications, services, and infrastructure. It's also inclusive: we aim to make AI accessible to all - consumers, businesses, developers - so that everyone can realize its benefits.

About the Team

We build the cross-cutting capabilities that shape the future of human-AI interaction. Our work spans modalities-text, voice, vision, action-and pushes the boundaries of what intelligence can do in peoples lives. We partner deeply with design, product, and applied AI to ship extraordinary experiences that define what Copilot becomes. The problems we solve dont fit neatly into one layer of the stack or one corner of the org-which is exactly what makes them interesting. Our mandate is to make Copilot the essential AI companion: ubiquitous, always capable, always there. Were building for a future where AI doesnt just respond-it acts, creates, and orchestrates.

About the Role

We are seeking an Engineering Manger to help build revolutionary experiences at the intersection of modality and intelligence. The pace is fast. The ambiguity is high. Youll ship things that millions of people use-and youll ship things that dont exist anywhere else yet.

If you want to work on well-scoped problems with clear answers, this isnt the team. If you want to define the future of how humans and AI live and work together, come build with us. 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.
