OverviewThe Copilot Platform team is building the foundational capabilities that power the next generation of AI experiences across Microsoft 365 Copilot. Our mission is to create a secure, reliable, and scalable platform that enables teams across Microsoft to rapidly build and deliver high-quality Copilot experiences for customers.
We are looking for a
Principal Product Manager to lead the vision and strategy for Agentic Engineering across Microsoft 365 Copilot and BizChat.
AI is fundamentally changing how software is built and operated. Our ambition is to go beyond using AI to make individual engineering tasks faster. We want to
reimagine the software development lifecycle (SDLC) around collaboration between engineers and AI agents.
In this role, you will define the strategy for how agentic capabilities transform the engineering lifecycle, from planning and design through development, testing, deployment, monitoring, and production operations. You will partner closely with engineering and product leaders to turn this vision into scalable platforms, workflows, and practices that improve engineering velocity, quality, reliability, and developer experience.
Responsibilities- Define the vision and strategy for Agentic Engineering across the end-to-end software development lifecycle.
- Identify the highest-value opportunities for AI agents to improve how engineers design, build, test, deploy, monitor, and operate software.
- Develop a product strategy and roadmap for moving from AI-assisted development toward increasingly agent-native engineering workflows.
- Partner with engineering teams to create reusable agentic capabilities, platforms, and patterns that can scale across a large engineering organization.
- Establish success metrics that measure improvements in engineering productivity, quality, reliability, cycle time, and developer experience.
- Drive adoption of new agentic engineering practices and help teams evolve the way they build and operate software.
- Bring together related investments across teams into a cohesive strategy while enabling teams to innovate within their domains.
- Influence senior product and engineering leaders and drive alignment across organizational boundaries.
- Stay at the forefront of advances in AI agents and software engineering and translate emerging capabilities into meaningful engineering transformation.
