Microsoft

As Microsoft AI we are pushing the boundaries of technology.

We are creating unique, beautiful and powerful products that will change lives. A small, friendly, fast-moving team, we support each other to do the best work of our lives, always looking to break new ground, fast. We are proud of what we build, how we build it, and that our products will define the AI era. We run lean, obsess about users, and always make our decisions based on the evidence. We ship regularly, so your work will have real and immediate impact. It’s a time of huge change in the AI landscape, and this role will put you right in the heart of it.

The Data, Privacy and Security Engineering team within Microsoft AI builds key platform components for Copilot and other products in the MAI portfolio, and helps ensure that our products always earn users’ trust. We are looking for a Principal Product Manager to identify and drive improvements to privacy and data protection in the Copilot product, as well as make consistent decisions about the semantics and user experience of product features that impact privacy.

Our philosophy is to integrate privacy measures directly into the Copilot platform and product. Therefore, you should not only be able to assess privacy risks but have the skills to suggest appropriate solutions. The solution space will span infrastructure, data, product features, and user experience. Some solutions may be tactical and some may be longer-term research projects: we want to raise the bar on privacy for consumer AI.

You should possess a methodical approach to problem-solving, a solid drive to learn and stay current on the latest AI privacy risks and mitigations, and the ability to make decisions that balance product and engineering considerations. The right candidate is hands-on and enjoys building world-class consumer experiences and products in a startup-like environment.

Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.
