Job description
from Microsoft careersMicrosoft 365 Intelligent Conversation and Communications Cloud (IC3) powers billions of real-time customer conversations every day across Microsoft Teams, Dynamics, Azure Communication Services, and third-party solutions.
The AEGIS team is the security and privacy backbone of IC3. Our mission is zero-click compliance — automatically identifying and remediating security and compliance risks at scale, so IC3 services stay resilient, trusted, and compliant for highly regulated industries and global enterprises. AEGIS is a centralized security engineering force embedding security-by-design across hundreds of microservices, acting as first responders to incidents, pen-test findings, and compliance gaps, while driving the Secure Future Initiative (SFI) and modern security controls across IC3. A growing part of our charter is building AI-driven, agentic security tooling — agents that detect vulnerabilities, continuously assess posture, triage findings, and drive (or auto-apply) remediation at cloud scale.
