Job description
from Microsoft careersCopilot is evolving into an agentic system that can plan, reason, and execute actions across tools, data, and services. Securing such a system cannot rely on static controls, offline review, or policy‑only enforcement. It requires runtime defenses that adapt to intent, behavior, and context as the system operates.
Copilot Security and Privacy is responsible for building these defenses directly into Copilot. Our work focuses on new security primitives for agentic AI, including runtime misuse detection, adaptive guardrails, containment and isolation mechanisms, and feedback‑driven control systems informed by offensive security research.
We are hiring a Principal Technical Program Manager (TPM) to own the end‑to‑end delivery of these capabilities. This is a deeply technical execution role for someone who can operate at the boundary of security engineering, AI research, and platform systems—turning ambiguous threat models into shippable, operable defenses deployed in a globally scaled AI product.
This role is not about process, governance, or coordination. The TPM is accountable for making complex systems land in production, under real‑world adversarial pressure.
