Security represents the most critical priorities for our customers in a world awash in digital threats, regulatory scrutiny, and estate complexity. Microsoft Security aspires to make the world a safer place for all. We want to reshape security and empower every user, customer, and developer with a security cloud that protects them with end to end, simplified solutions. The Microsoft Security organization accelerates Microsoft’s mission and bold ambitions to ensure that our company and industry is securing digital technology platforms, devices, and clouds in our customers’ heterogeneous environments, as well as ensuring the security of our own internal estate. Our culture is centered on embracing a growth mindset, a theme of inspiring excellence, and encouraging teams and leaders to bring their best each day. In doing so, we create life-changing innovations that impact billions of lives around the world. Generative AI is changing the very nature of the security landscape, with both attackers and defenders leveraging generative AI to scale, automate, and improve their capabilities. Our team is harnessing this adversarial AI approach to improve AI blue team agents by competing against AI red teams in simulation environments indistinguishable from real customer networks. Through these wargames, AI blue team agents learn and improve via thousands of different environments and attack scenarios with ever increasing challenge and complexity.
Job Responsibility:
Lead our simulation team, responsible for building the simulation environment and capture-the-flag (CTF) challenges that comprise the game board for AI red versus AI blue
Lead a multi-disciplinary team including security researchers, applied scientists, and engineers to design and implement large-scale virtual environments representing real world network design, breach paths, and benign traffic patterns
Design and plant end-to-end CTF challenges within these environments, working together with our larger team to challenge and grow both AI red team and AI blue team capabilities
Partner with research and engineering to implement agentic wargames and self-driven learning approaches, improving both AI red and AI blue team solutions
