The Microsoft Security organization accelerates Microsoft’s mission and bold ambitions to ensure that our company and industry is securing digital technology platforms, devices, and clouds in our customers’ heterogeneous environments, as well as ensuring the security of our own internal estate. Our culture is centered on embracing a growth mindset, a theme of inspiring excellence, and encouraging teams and leaders to bring their best each day. In doing so, we create life-changing innovations that impact billions of lives around the world.   NEXT is the incubation and research arm of Microsoft Security AI (MSECAI), building the next generation of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-native security products, and we're hiring a  Principal AI Engineer.  In the 18 months since our founding, we’ve driven the science behind Microsoft Security Copilot and delivered both foundational and specialized models. We pursue long horizon bets while landing near term impact, taking ideas from zero-to-one (0→1) prototypes to Minimum Viable Products (MVPs) and then one-to-many (1→N) platform integration across Microsoft Defender, Sentinel, Entra, Intune, and Purview. Our culture blends ambition and scientific rigor with curiosity, humility, and customer obsession; we invest in new knowledge, collaborate across worldclass scientists and engineers, and tackle the immense challenge of protecting millions of customers. We are looking for a Principal AI Engineer for our team. In this role, you will set the multi-year strategy and roadmap for AI-first security experiences and the underlying platform. You will lead zero-to-one (0→1) incubation and one-to-many (1→N) scale-out, provide hands-on technical leadership across architecture, data, and model layers, and orchestrate cross-discipline teams to deliver responsible, high-quality AI features end to end. You are a builder who rapidly prototypes code to de-risk ideas, navigate ambiguity, and drive clarity and results across organizations. You are a presenter who commands your audience to demonstrate amazing ideas from both you and the team.   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.

Responsibilities Define the technical vision, strategy, and roadmap for AI-native incubation initiatives; align stakeholders across Security Copilot, Defender, Sentinel, Entra, Purview, Azure AI Foundry and Microsoft AI to deliver cohesive customer value. Lead zero-to-one (0→1) incubation R&D through MVP and private preview, then drive one-to-many (1→N) platformization and scale to GA; make principled tradeoffs across quality, latency, reliability, cost, and safety. Provide hands-on technical leadership: prototype in code, review designs and Pull Requests (PRs), define Application Programming Interfaces (APIs)/data contracts, build comprehensive well-architected systems, and establish evaluation frameworks to de-risk complex systems. Set strategy for AI-native security experiences and platform components: where to use Large Language Models (LLMs) versus classical Machine Learning (ML), retrieval/Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) design, grounding, model routing/fallbacks, and safety guardrails to meet customer outcomes and Service Level Objectives (SLOs). Ensure Responsible AI, privacy, and security guardrails are designed in from day one, coordinate safety reviews, abuse prevention, compliance, and incident readiness. Lead v-teams and mentor others; cultivate a builder culture of velocity and quality as a force multiplier. Engage directly with enterprise customers and field to co-design solutions and land adoption; communicate program status and strategy to executives with hands on real code demonstrations. Qualifications Required Qualifications: Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or related technical field AND 6+ years technical engineering experience with coding in languages including, but not limited to, C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, or Python OR equivalent experience.

Experienced in program leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills with the ability to influence leaders and make data-informed decisions. Proven track record shipping cloud services or platforms at scale (multi-tenant, high-throughput) with measurable customer and business impact. Security domain expertise (e.g., threat detection/response, SIEM/SOAR, identity, endpoint, cloud security) and familiarity with analyst workflows. Experience with GenAI/LLM techniques and tooling (prompt engineering, retrieval/vector stores, agents/tool use, content safety/guardrails, offline/online eval frameworks, vibe coding). Hands-on coding ability in one or more languages (e.g., Python, C#, C++, Rust, JavaScript/TypeScript); comfortable prototyping, reading Pull Requests (PRs), and engaging deeply in technical design reviews. Demonstrated success driving zero-to-one (0→1) initiatives from ambiguity to Minimum Viable Product (MVP) to General Availability (GA) and then to one-to-many (1→N) platform adoption across multiple product teams. What makes a great Principal AI Engineer here Model-literate and pragmatic: you know when to use a Large Language Model (LLM), when a deterministic/rules-based or classical Machine Learning (ML) approach is better, and how to hybridize them with retrieval, caching, routing, and fallbacks to meet Service Level Objectives (SLOs) and cost targets. Evaluation-obsessed: you can define the right metrics and datasets (clarity, groundedness, precision/recall, latency/cost etc.), build the eval harness, and insist on measurable improvements before broad rollout. Zero-to-one (0→1) builder and one-to-many (1→N) integrator: you turn ambiguous ideas into Minimum Viable Products (MVPs), then lead General Availability (GA) platformization and integration into large, multi-tenant Microsoft Security products. You define durable data/Application Programming Interface (API) contracts and Software Development Kits (SDKs), negotiate dependency graphs across partner teams to meet delivery dates and Service Level Objectives (SLOs) within complex cost, security/privacy/compliance constraints to ensure operational readiness. Customer-back and outcome-focused: you spend time with defenders and admins, translate workflows into crisp specs, land adoption, and iterate quickly based on feedback and telemetry. Clear communicator and connector: you create clarity in ambiguity, align diverse stakeholders across research/engineering/design/field, and mentor others to raise the bar. #SentinelPlatform #MSFTSecurity #MSECAI #AI #SecurityAI #GenerativeAI #Cybersecurity #ResponsibleAI #Azure Software Engineering IC5 - The typical base pay range for this role across the U.S. is USD $139,900 - $274,800 per year.

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 Core Engineering Design, build, and maintain high‑quality services and libraries that support adversarial testing, security evaluations, and risk measurement for agentic and autonomous AI systems. Implement adversarial test harnesses (e.g., jailbreak, prompt injection, toolchain misuse) and integrate them into shared evaluation pipelines such as SEVAL/CARES. Develop telemetry, instrumentation, and observability features that improve detection coverage, reproducibility, and security‑relevant data collection. Build CI/CD hooks, governance features, and safety-criteria validation that support safe rollout and evaluation of Copilot capabilities. Collaboration + Impact Work closely with applied scientists, red teamers, and partner engineering teams to translate top risks into testable requirements and secure engineering patterns. Contribute to the Agentic Security Platform—shared services that support evaluation at scale across Copilot and foundation‑model–powered applications. Participate in design reviews, threat modeling sessions, and code reviews with a focus on reliability, security, and defense‑in‑depth. Write clear technical documentation, sample code, and best‑practice guidance consumed by internal product teams.

For more than seven years, CEO Co-Innovation has served as a differentiated engagement model for driving deep alignment with senior leadership teams. These engagements are intentionally bespoke: they are not driven by fixed methodologies, pre-defined architectures, or scripted outcomes.
