You will prototype, build, and iterate on tools that identify, measure, mitigate, and monitor risks in AI-generated content across text, image, audio, and video formats. Your daily work involves navigating ambiguous requirements to ship production-ready features while collaborating with stakeholders to drive project plans. You must possess technical engineering experience in languages such as C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, or Python. The role requires expertise in generative AI systems, including LLMs and diffusion models, along with experience in prompt engineering, fine-tuning, and using AI-assisted coding tools like GitHub Copilot.

What you'll do

  • Prototype, build, and iterate on new Responsible AI tools and capabilities for developers.
  • Ship high-performance, highly available AI services that enable responsible AI usage.
  • Identify, measure, mitigate, and monitor Responsible AI risks across multimodal content.
  • Drive project plans, release plans, and deliverables for cross-product features.
  • Improve product availability, reliability, efficiency, observability, and performance through new technical patterns.
  • Execute rapid prototyping and iterative learning cycles based on tight feedback loops.
  • Share technical knowledge and best practices with other engineers.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or related technical field and 6+ years of technical engineering experience in languages like C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, or Python.
  • Experience working with generative AI systems including LLMs, diffusion models, and multimodal models.
  • Experience with prompt engineering, evaluation, or fine-tuning of AI models.
  • Hands-on experience with AI-assisted coding tools such as GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or Claude Code.
  • Familiarity with Responsible AI and security concepts or a strong interest in learning them.
  • Experience working in fast-paced, experimental environments like startups or incubation teams.
  • Ability to pass the Microsoft Cloud background check.
  • Experience working on safety, alignment, or Responsible AI (preferred).
  • 6+ years of technical engineering experience designing and delivering highly available, large-scale cloud services (preferred).
  • 4+ years of technical engineering experience with machine learning models (preferred).
