Job Description:
Come shape the future of AI; this is the team where your work will matter immediately and at massive scale. As Microsoft pushes the boundaries of what AI can do, we’re searching for passionate builders ready to tackle the most exciting and complex challenges of our time. Our vision is bold: create true artificial intelligence across agents, applications, services, and infrastructure — and make it accessible to everyone. Microsoft is hiring an experienced Platform Engineering Manager to help power the next generation of our personal AI, Copilot. You’ll bring deep technical expertise, strong backend engineering skills, and a mastery of templating to architect durable, elegant systems. Just as importantly, you’ll bring positive energy, empathy, and a collaborative spirit to a team that values kindness as much as technical excellence. If you thrive in fast-paced environments and love building world-class consumer experiences, you’ll feel right at home. Our Platform Engineering team builds the APIs that enable finetuning, deployment, and the core Copilot experience, partnering closely with Product, Design, and AI Research to bring breakthrough ideas to life. At Microsoft, we empower every person and organization to achieve more. We operate with a growth mindset, innovate to uplift others, and work together with respect, integrity, and accountability to create an inclusive culture where everyone can thrive. Starting January 26, 2026, MAI employees are expected to work from a designated Microsoft office at least four days a week if they live within 50 miles (U.S.) or 25 miles (non-U.S., country-specific) of that location. This expectation is subject to local law and may vary by jurisdiction.
