Overview
Architect the agentic loops behind Microsoft 365 and Copilot performance and scale. This role defines how data, AI agents, and automated engineering workflows connect into closed-loop systems that continuously find, prioritize, and land performance, token, and efficiency improvements at hyperscale.
The Microsoft 365 Core Platform team is hiring a Principal Product Manager to architect the agentic systems behind performance, latency, scalability, efficiency, reliability, and resource optimization across the server-side systems that power Microsoft 365 and Copilot. This is a broad role for someone who likes moving across the platform rather than holding a single area, and who is comfortable picking up high-impact work that spans teams.
The focus is the infrastructure that keeps these products fast and efficient as AI workloads grow, and the systems that make improving that infrastructure continuous rather than manual.
Many optimization work in the past was found by hand. This role changes that. You will drive the technical direction for closed-loop systems that detect regressions and inefficiencies from telemetry, quantify their impact, propose and generate fixes through AI agents, route work to the right engineering teams, and verify the savings once landed.
You will own how these loops fit together across performance, prompt and token efficiency, caching, reliability, and resource consumption, so improvements are repeatable across workloads rather than rediscovered one at a time.
This is an AI-first product management role. You will use agents, automation, and AI-driven analysis alongside standard PM tools to read telemetry, test ideas, prototype solutions, and reach decisions faster. You will translate hard technical topics into business terms and help the team plan, prioritize, and ship with AI built into how the work gets done.
You will work across platform architecture, distributed systems, AI-powered services, and engineering teams, with strong product sense, technical depth, AI fluency, and comfort working with data. The role depends on close partnership with engineering leaders and architects across Microsoft and carries broad visibility and influence across the company.
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.
