Senior Software Engineer AI

Job description

Are you inspired to push the boundaries of how intelligent systems transform cloud experiences?



Do you want to build next-generation Copilot-like experiences and AI-driven user interfaces that redefine how customers interact with cloud products?



Welcome to the Edge Customer Experience team, part of Microsoft’s Specialized Cloud organization — where innovation meets real-world impact.



We are a team of passionate engineers, collaborators, and culture-builders delivering seamless, intelligent, and scalable experiences across the Edge portfolio — including Azure Local (formerly Azure Stack HCI), Arc Workload Orchestration, Site Manager, Azure Local Catalog, and Jumpstart.



Azure Local delivers the power of Azure to the edge — a hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) OS with cloud-managed intelligence, real-time insights, and Azure Arc integration.



Arc Workload Orchestration simplifies AI and application deployment across distributed edge environments using cloud-native orchestration and automation.



Our team sits at the intersection of Edge + AI, building Copilot flows, inference systems, and adaptive interfaces that bring machine learning and reasoning closer to the user and the data.



We enable real-time decision-making, ultra-low-latency experiences, and trustworthy AI systems that operate securely at the edge and in the cloud.



If you’re passionate about AI-driven engineering — from intent understanding and data-driven insights to autonomous orchestration and predictive edge intelligence — this is where your work will have global impact.



**Responsibilities**



+ We are searching for an accomplished Senior Software Engineer who is passionate about building intelligent, high-quality, and impactful products.

This role offers an opportunity to collaborate with global teams to deliver Copilot-enabled experiences that empower customers and redefine productivity

+ You will operate as a senior individual contributor, leading design and development across multiple layers of the stack, and partnering closely with AI, UX, and platform teams.

You will work in a diverse and inclusive environment that values curiosity, craftsmanship, and continuous learning

+ We’re looking for intelligent, driven engineers with a growth mindset — individuals who can turn ambiguity into clarity, ideas into architecture, and architecture into reliable, user-centric solutions

+ We invite intelligent, driven engineers with a positive mindset and a commitment to growth, prepared to transform ambiguity into tangible deliverables and solutions and shepherd the execution to completion

+ Design, architect, and implement frontend, backend, and service components to support multi-step Copilot flows, including data orchestration, context management, and state persistence

+ Integrate LLMs and APIs to enable context-aware, human-in-the-loop experiences across customer scenarios

+ Collaborate with AI, UX, and platform teams to translate user intent into actionable and structured workflows

+ Define reusable patterns, SDKs, and libraries that accelerate Copilot flow development across teams

+ Drive execution of feature work through the complete software development lifecycle — from concept and design to release and live site excellence

+ Ensure system performance, observability, and trust, including latency optimization, data protection, and fault resilience

+ Champion engineering best practices, code quality, and maintainability through reviews, mentorship, and technical guidance

+ Experiment and prototype new AI-driven interaction models, continuously improving Copilot capabilities and developer efficiency

+ Collaborate across organizational boundaries to deliver a seamless, high-quality product experience

+ Foster a healthy, inclusive team culture that reflects our values of respect, accountability, and integrity



**Qualifications**



Required Qualification:



+ 7+ years of professional software development experience.

+ Exposure to AI/LLM integration, function calling, or semantic retrieval systems is highly desirable.

+ Proficiency in frontend frameworks (React, TypeScript) and backend services using C#, Java, or Python.

+ Experience in building scalable, distributed systems and integrating APIs or microservices.

+ Strong understanding of cloud technologies (Azure, AWS, or GCP).

+ Solid grasp of system design, telemetry, and live site operations.

+ Strong problem-solving, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills.

+ A growth mindset — openness to learn, mentor, and lead through influence.



Preferred Qualification:



+ Designed or implemented Copilot-like, assistive, or agentic workflows.

+ Experience building developer-facing frameworks, SDKs, or reusable flow components.

+ Experience leading a v-team to deliver a complex product features or platform capabilities.

+ Understanding of responsible AI principles — data privacy, transparency, fairness, and model explainability.
