Principal Software Engineering Manager

The PowerPoint team in Vancouver is looking for a Principal Software Engineering Manager to help build the future of AI-powered visual creation and storytelling. This is a rare opportunity to work on a product that has been around for nearly 40 years and is continuing to evolve to meet customer needs. In addition to this great legacy, we also have a charter bringing bleeding edge visual editing features to Copilot and in-app agents. In this role, you will work closely in a multi-disciplinary team alongside Product Managers, Applied Scientists, Designers, Data Engineers to design and implement solutions end-to-end in both PowerPoint and Copilot. As an AI-forward leader, you will be responsible for managing the careers of software engineers of varying levels of experience during a time of great change in the industry, coaching through the adoption of new tools and processes, while growing their technical skills and ensuring they are delivering on Microsoft’s commitments on security and customer trust. Although much of our team’s focus is on web technologies including React and WebGL today, you should also be prepared to adapt and deploy your team wherever needed, including contributing to services, helping to fine-tune AI models, or making contributions to native applications for PC, Mac, and mobile, ensuring consistent performance, fidelity, and accessibility.
