About The Position

The Microsoft CoreAI team is at the forefront of the AI revolution, and the Foundry Agent Service team is looking for a Principal Product Manager - CoreAI to help define the future of how agents are built. We are the team responsible for empowering every developer, from the garage hacker to the enterprise architect, to build powerful AI agents using the latest frameworks like Agent Framework, LangGraph, and Coding Agents.
We are looking for a highly motivated Principal Product Manager - CoreAI who thrives at the intersection of developer experience (DevEx) and enterprise scale. You will focus on building an intuitive product that bridges the gap between local development (VS Code, GitHub) and cloud-native capabilities (Evals, Observability, Memory). You are customer-obsessed, technically fluent in the latest agent trends, and hands-on with the technology you build. If you are ready to define the roadmap for the next generation of agent improvements and work across GitHub, Tooling, and M365 innovation, this is the role for you.

Requirements

• Bachelor's Degree AND 8+ years experience in product/service/program management or software development OR equivalent experience.
• Ability to meet Microsoft, customer and/or government security screening requirements are required for this role. These requirements include, but are not limited to the following specialized security screenings:
• 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 Haves

• 2+ years of experience working with developer tools, cloud platforms (Azure/AWS/GCP), or AI/Machine Learning technologies.
• Demonstrated understanding of the current AI landscape, including experience with LLMs, Agentic frameworks (e.g., LangChain, Agent Framework), or prompt engineering.
• Experience shipping B2B or enterprise-grade software, with a grasp of security, compliance, and governance needs.
• DevEx Passion, specifically empathy for developers and experience building APIs, SDKs, or CLI tools.
• Proven ability to work in an ambiguous environment where requirements evolve rapidly.
• Exceptional storytelling skills, with the ability to communicate complex technical concepts to both engineering teams and business executives.

Responsibilities

• Product Strategy & Roadmap: Define and drive the product vision for key workstreams in Foundry Agent Service, focusing on enterprise requirements and developer ergonomics. Translate complex AI agent patterns into a cohesive, intuitive product roadmap.
• Customer-First Innovation: Engage directly with enterprise customers and internal adopters to understand their friction points in building agents. Translate these insights into features that solve for reliability, security, and scalability.
• Developer Experience (DevEx): Champion a "delightful" developer journey. Ensure our integration with VS Code, GitHub, and Azure CLI is seamless, allowing developers to iterate fast and deploy with confidence.
• Cross-Team Orchestration: Partner closely with engineering, design, and counterparts in GitHub, M365, and Core AI to deliver a unified platform. Navigate ambiguity to align stakeholders on shared outcomes.
• Hands-on Technical Leadership: Actively use the product to build your own agents. Stay ahead of the curve on agentic workflows (e.g., LangGraph, Copilot CLI) and leverage AI in your daily workflows to demonstrate "customer zero" behavior.
• Go-to-Market Support: Collaborate with PMM and documentation teams to create compelling demos, tutorials, and messaging that showcase the power of the platform.
