Senior Software Engineer
About The Position
Commercial Engineering & AI (CEAI) partners with stakeholders to transform Microsoft’s commercial business through AI-native engineering, modern platforms, and commercial insight. Partner Center is Microsoft’s platform for engaging, enabling, and transacting with its global partner ecosystem, spanning partner enrollment, incentives, co-sell, marketplace, billing, compliance, and AI-powered experiences. As a Senior Software Engineer, you will design and ship core components of the agentic sales platform used daily by field sellers and partner teams. You will own features end to end, from prototype to production, across areas such as orchestration, grounding, evaluations, observability, and SDK surfaces. The role involves taking ownership of shipped work, raising the quality bar for how agents are built and evaluated, and applying agentic development practices at global scale.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related technical field and 4+ years of technical engineering experience coding in languages such as C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, or Python, or equivalent experience.
- Ability to meet Microsoft, customer, and/or government security screening requirements, including passing the Microsoft Cloud Background Check upon hire or transfer and every two years thereafter.
Nice To Haves
- Experience with at least one of C#, TypeScript, or Python, and comfort working across all three.
- Experience owning and shipping significant features or architectural components end to end.
- At least one year shipping LLM-based or agent-based systems in production, including hands-on experience with evaluations, observability, and debugging.
- Production experience with one or more major agent stacks, such as Microsoft 365 Agents SDK, AutoGen, Magentic-One, LangGraph, OpenAI Agents SDK, Anthropic SDK with MCP, or Semantic Kernel.
- Experience collaborating across teams, aligning with partners, and moving work forward together.
- Proficiency in AI-native development using agent harnesses such as GitHub Copilot CLI and coding agents; authoring Markdown specifications or ADRs and YAML configurations as agent-consumable inputs; orchestrating multi-step agentic workflows across the SDLC; and reviewing agent-generated code and pull requests with production-grade rigor.
- Experience shipping quickly with agentic tools.
- Public artifacts demonstrating agent-based development, such as shipped side projects, open-source contributions, technical writing, or talks.
- Experience establishing evaluations or observability for non-deterministic systems.
- Experience contributing to the safety posture of a multi-tenant system, including prompt-injection defenses and audit trails.
Responsibilities
- Design and build major components of the agentic sales platform, including orchestration, tools and skills, grounding, evaluations and observability, and model routing.
- Own components end to end, from prototype to production, and make key technical judgments within your area.
- Partner with AI Foundry, Microsoft Research, Substrate, and the Copilot organization to use shared primitives such as agent SDKs, evaluation harnesses, content safety, and telemetry.
- Contribute to the evaluation and Responsible AI quality bar for shipping agents in the Sales surface, with a focus on production-grade quality.
- Raise the agent-engineering bar through code reviews, design reviews, and mentoring peers.
- Bring agentic patterns into the team's work and share lessons learned.
