Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Architect and build scalable, low-latency distributed data systems and personalization engines to power Copilot's intelligence. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure personalization is safe, secure, and user-controlled while optimizing for performance and reliability.
Requires a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field and at least 8 years of technical engineering experience. Preferred candidates have experience with cloud infrastructure, OSS data technologies, and deploying large-scale machine learning models.
As Microsoft continues to redefine the future of AI, we are seeking passionate engineers to tackle some of the most complex and impactful challenges of our time. Our vision is bold — to build intelligent systems that deeply understand users and adapt across agents, applications, services, and infrastructure.
This role focuses on building distributed data systems and APIs that power adaptive, context-aware experiences across Microsoft AI. We aim to make Copilot feel like your Copilot — responsive to your preferences, workflows, and goals — while preserving privacy, security, performance, and scale.
We are looking for a Principal Software Engineer to lead the design and development of distributed data infrastructure, APIs and personalization pipelines that drive Copilot’s intelligence. You will work across Microsoft AI and Copilot teams.
You will possess a methodical approach to problem-solving, proficiency in backend technologies, a familiarity with applied AI and its unique challenges, and the ability to architect solutions that stand the test of time. The right candidate is hands-on and enjoys building world-class consumer experiences and products in a fast-paced environment. A key skill is the judgment to make the right risk vs velocity and value decisions.
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.
