About the role

Microsoft Security Studio seeks a Software Engineer to build AI-infused security solutions with customers, embedding with customer engineers and security teams to deliver secure, production-ready software using Microsoft platforms, AI, and agentic systems. The role focuses on AI-assisted practices across the development lifecycle, ownership of end-to-end delivery, and converting engagement insights into reusable assets and patterns.

Responsibilities

  • Design and build AI-infused security software with customers, including cloud services, intelligent applications, security automation, agents, developer tooling, integrations, and distributed systems.
  • Embed with customer engineering and security teams to understand desired outcomes, architecture, threat models, data, and operational constraints, then translate ambiguity into executable engineering plans.
  • Co-develop in short, iterative cycles, demonstrating working software and using real-user feedback, evaluations, telemetry, and operational data to refine the solution and measure success.
  • Own production-quality delivery from prototyping and architecture through implementation, automated testing, CI/CD, infrastructure as code, deployment, observability, troubleshooting, documentation, operational readiness, and handoff.
  • Use AI-assisted engineering across the lifecycle and build agentic systems that safely access enterprise data and tools, with appropriate human review, identity, authorization, data boundaries, isolation, auditability, guardrails, and accountability.
  • Apply secure-by-design and privacy-by-design principles, including threat modeling, least privilege, secrets and identity management, data protection, dependency and vulnerability management, and secure operations.
  • Convert customer-specific learning into reusable components, accelerators, reference implementations, engineering patterns, paved paths, and actionable product feedback.
  • Lead significant technical workstreams by setting direction, decomposing ambiguous problems, making architecture decisions, managing dependencies, risks, and trade-offs, and communicating clearly with technical and senior stakeholders.
  • Collaborate in small multidisciplinary teams, learn rapidly, experiment responsibly, challenge assumptions constructively, and share knowledge across engagements.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science or a related technical field and 4+ years of technical engineering experience coding in one or more languages such as C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, Go, Rust, or Python; or equivalent experience.
  • Demonstrated experience designing, building, testing, deploying, debugging, and operating substantial production software or cloud services.
  • Strong software-engineering fundamentals, including data structures, algorithms, APIs, distributed systems, cloud architecture, testing, reliability, and maintainable design.
  • Experience translating ambiguous, evolving customer or stakeholder needs into architecture, engineering plans, working software, and measurable outcomes.
  • Practical knowledge of secure software engineering, including authentication and authorization, identity, secrets management, threat modeling, data protection, secure dependencies, vulnerability remediation, and monitoring.
  • Ability to explain complex technical concepts, architecture decisions, trade-offs, and delivery risks to technical and nontechnical audiences.
