Employer job description
From Microsoft's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Overview
We are looking for a Principal AI Architect to help define, build, and scale the evaluation systems that shape the future of AI products. This role sits at the intersection of engineering, applied science, product architecture, and AI evaluation. The ideal candidate has deep technical judgment, strong systems thinking, hands-on experience evaluating LLMs, and the ability to translate emerging AI capabilities into reliable product experiences.
This role is especially important for agentic AI systems, where product behavior is often nondeterministic, context-dependent, and difficult to evaluate with traditional testing alone. The person in this role will help teams build a deep understanding of how agents behave, where they succeed, where they fail, which gaps matter most, and where those gaps should be addressed: in prompts, tools, orchestration, retrieval, ranking, product UX, safety systems, or core code.
