Job Description

AI is becoming a core part of enterprise infrastructure, and many customers want reliable ways to run inference close to their data, systems, and operations. Windows Server has a solid opportunity to make that easier for organizations that already depend on Microsoft platforms.

In this Senior Product Manager role, you will help shape product experiences that simplify how customers configure, run, monitor, and manage AI inference on Windows Server. The work sits at the intersection of AI workloads, datacenter infrastructure, hardware acceleration, enterprise management, and customer trust. This is a high-impact role for a PM who enjoys technical depth, customer empathy, and product building.

Microsoft's mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees, we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day, we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.

Responsibilities

• Define customer scenarios, product requirements, and roadmap priorities for Windows Server AI inferencing experiences.
• Turn complex infrastructure workflows into simple, guided experiences for administrators and developers.
• Partner with engineering on configuration, deployment, monitoring, troubleshooting, and lifecycle management capabilities.
• Use customer feedback, telemetry, and field input to make clear product tradeoffs and ship focused improvements.
• Help the product work well across enterprise hardware environments, including GPU-accelerated and CPU-based scenarios.
• Build crisp product narratives, demos, documentation, and success measures that help customers and field teams understand the value.
• Collaborate across engineering, design, documentation, sales, hardware partners, and go-to-market teams.

Preferred Qualifications:

• 3+ years of product management experience shipping technical, platform, infrastructure, or enterprise products, or equivalent engineering-to-PM experience.
• Experience with AI inference platforms, products, services, or related AI infrastructure technologies.
• Solid technical judgment and ability to work credibly with engineers on systems, APIs, and infrastructure tradeoffs.
• Experience converting ambiguous customer needs into requirements, roadmap decisions, and shipped outcomes.
• Deep experience in AI/ML inference, model serving, developer platforms, distributed systems, datacenter infrastructure, cloud, edge, or on-premises environments.
• Experience working with OEMs, silicon or accelerator providers, ISVs, systems integrators, or other ecosystem partners.
