Frontier Foundry (F²) is IDC’s bold new innovation engine — a design-led, full-stack engineering team delivering multimodal, AI-powered experiences across Surface, Windows, and Copilot. Operating outside traditional platform constraints, F² is built to move fast, think big, and build from the edge. This role is ideal for engineers who thrive in dynamic environments, code with vibe, and build with purpose. You’ll join a fast-moving, full-stack squad focused on one or more of F²’s core charters — Surface Acceleration, Multimodal Innovation, or AI Agents — contributing to functional software increments every sprint.
Job Responsibility:
Design, build, and deliver high-quality software components aligned to F² charters: interaction models (inking, stylus, display tech), multimodal innovation (sensor fusion, voice/touch interfaces), or AI agents (context-aware, task-oriented)
Integrate and optimize Nuance Conversational AI technologies (e.g., speech-to-text, text-to-speech, NLU) into multimodal experiences
Enhance Voice Access capabilities across platforms, ensuring accessibility, responsiveness, and seamless user interaction
Work across the stack — from UI to backend — with a bias for impact and iteration
Embrace “vibe coding” using AI-assisted tools like GitHub Copilot, Copilot Studio, AI Foundry, and other generative AI tools to reduce boilerplate and drive intelligent test automation
Collaborate with product, design, and partner teams to shape backlog priorities and deliver intuitive, high-impact experiences
Navigate evolving priorities with ingenuity, turning loosely defined ideas into tangible software outcomes
Contribute to architecture discussions, code reviews, and prototyping efforts
Foster a culture of agility, experimentation, and outcome-driven development
Requirements:
Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or related technical field AND 7+ years technical engineering experience with coding in languages including, but not limited to, C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, or Python OR equivalent experience
Hands-on experience with Nuance voice technologies or similar platforms (e.g., Azure Speech, Dialogflow, Alexa Skills Kit)
Deep understanding of Voice Access systems, accessibility APIs, and assistive technologies
Strong proficiency in full-stack development, especially client-side application engineering and user-facing experiences
Experience with GitHub Copilot, Copilot Studio, AI Foundry, or equivalent vibe coding/generative AI tools
Ability to meet Microsoft, customer and/or government security screening requirements are required for this role
Microsoft Cloud Background Check: This position will be required to pass the Microsoft Cloud background check upon hire/transfer and every two years thereafter
Nice to have:
Experience building agents, extensions, or projects on platforms like GitHub Copilot, Copilot Studio, or similar AI frameworks
Strong product and design instincts with the ability to shape user-facing experiences and make informed trade-offs
Ability to thrive in fast-paced, dynamic, and ambiguous environments
