About the role

Senior Software Engineer position focused on AI-driven, real-time bidding platform for Microsoft Advertising. Role combines AI systems, reinforcement learning, and large-scale distributed infrastructure to design, build, and operate an agentic bidding platform that processes billions of auction events daily and optimizes bids in milliseconds across Microsoft marketplaces.

Responsibilities

  • Collaborate with data scientists, ML engineers, and product teams to define requirements for agentic AI-driven bidding capabilities that observe, reason, and adapt autonomously.
  • Architect and implement the next-generation agentic bidding platform, enabling AI agents to monitor marketplace signals, interpret advertiser and user behavior, and continuously optimize bidding strategies.
  • Build large-scale data validation and quality frameworks to ensure correctness, consistency, and reliability across all auction-critical signals feeding the AI agents.
  • Act as a Designated Responsible Individual (DRI): drive operational excellence, incident management, on-call readiness, and high-availability practices for mission-critical bidding services.
  • Develop experimentation and simulation frameworks to validate agent behavior and optimize policies before deployment in live auctions.
  • Proactively adopt new patterns, technologies, and engineering practices to improve availability, efficiency, performance, and scalability across the bidding stack.
  • Set technical direction, mentor engineers, and foster a culture of high-quality execution, innovation, and accountability.
  • Explore and invest in emerging AI techniques - multi-agent systems, adaptive optimization - to enhance the autonomy, intelligence, and impact of the bidding platform.

Qualifications
