About The Position

The Copilot Platform team is building the foundational capabilities that power the next generation of AI experiences across Microsoft 365 Copilot. Our mission is to create a secure, reliable, and scalable platform that enables teams across Microsoft to rapidly build and deliver high-quality Copilot experiences for customers. We are looking for a Principal Product Manager to lead the vision and strategy for Agentic Engineering across Microsoft 365 Copilot and BizChat. AI is fundamentally changing how software is built and operated. Our ambition is to go beyond using AI to make individual engineering tasks faster. We want to reimagine the software development lifecycle (SDLC) around collaboration between engineers and AI agents. In this role, you will define the strategy for how agentic capabilities transform the engineering lifecycle, from planning and design through development, testing, deployment, monitoring, and production operations. You will partner closely with engineering and product leaders to turn this vision into scalable platforms, workflows, and practices that improve engineering velocity, quality, reliability, and developer experience.
