Full job description

Architect, prototype, and lead the iteration on AI agent experiences that reimagine domain-specific workflows across Copilot in Office and Copilot Cowork, rapidly validating feasibility, UX, and technical approaches while pushing the frontier of agent-driven productivity. Drive the delivery of features by operating at the true intersection of SWE, applied science, product, and domain expertise, where a single AI engineer can unlock disproportionate impact by translating customer needs, domain knowledge, model capability, and product intent into intelligent, production-ready systems. Design evaluation frameworks and observability tools to monitor real-time agent health, investigate customer feedback, and build continuous learning systems for end-to-end AI workflows. Invent and lead industry-defining domain-specialized agent experiences by working directly with customers and domain experts to understand complex and long-tail workflows, explore new interaction paradigms, and build robust system architectures that enable natural collaboration between humans and AI. Cultivate a culture of technical excellence and continuous learning. Proactively identify and drive systemic improvements to agent development platforms, engineering and domain knowledge bases, build processes, and engineering standards, while mentoring coworkers to elevate the technical bar of the team.
