Are you an Engineering Manager already at the forefront of agentic AI — someone who has used agents to build products, led teams shipping agentic tooling, and formed strong opinions about what great looks like in this space? Do you want to lead the team that owns the agentic engineering platform being adopted across all of Microsoft? Do you want to build an environment where engineers are empowered to push the frontier of what's possible with AI, and where you're dogfooding the very platform your team builds? If so, we'd love to talk with you about this opportunity!
Our AI team is a part of the larger ES365 (Microsoft 365 Engineering Systems) team — and we own the agentic engineering platform being adopted across all of Microsoft. ES365 owns the tools and systems used by thousands of Microsoft developers who innovate across the company's largest codebases, from source control and check-in experience to build, validation, and deployment automation. This gives us a unique position to define what AI-powered developer productivity looks like at Microsoft scale.
The ES365 AI team is 100% focused on pushing that frontier. We build the agentic platform itself and the experiences on top of it. The developers and codebase owners who use these tools are your customers, just down the hall — giving us a tight feedback loop and the domain expertise to move fast. For additional context, example workstreams have included AI-assisted large-scale codebase refactoring, automated package integrations, deep architectural Q&A over codebases, and human-in-the-loop directed code changes.
We're a growing team looking for an experienced Software Engineering Manager to lead and grow our engineering talent. In this role, you'll partner closely with principal engineers and technical leads to shape the direction of the ESAI platform, ensure the team is operating with clarity and momentum, and build the kind of environment where engineers do their best work. You'll also serve as a connector — bridging our team's work with partner teams across Microsoft who are tackling related problems in AI-powered developer productivity.
If you are excited about AI's potential and want to lead a team on the front lines of AI-Powered developer efficiency at Microsoft, we want you in ES365 AI.
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.
