TL;DR · | Microsoft Careers

As a Principal Technical Program Manager for Copilot Security and Privacy, you will lead the end-to-end delivery of runtime threat defense capabilities embedded directly into Copilot’s execution paths. Your daily tasks include translating ambiguous agentic AI threat models into concrete engineering plans, driving cross-cutting technical execution across security engineering, AI research, and platform teams, and ensuring operability at runtime by defining clear metrics for detection quality and performance impact. The role requires expertise in security engineering, distributed systems, and ML systems, with a preference for experience in delivering adaptive enforcement systems and familiarity with agentic AI environments. You will work on cutting-edge technologies to secure Copilot’s global-scale deployment against real-world adversarial pressures, making immediate technical impacts measurable in production behavior.

What you'll do

  • Own the end-to-end delivery of runtime threat defense capabilities embedded directly into Copilot execution paths.
  • Translate ambiguous agentic AI threat models into concrete engineering plans for detection and prevention mechanisms.
  • Coordinate technical execution across security engineering, AI research, and platform teams to manage dependencies and risks.
  • Define operability criteria for threat defenses, ensuring they are measurable, testable, and observable in production.
  • Resolve complex technical and organizational tradeoffs where ownership boundaries are unclear and failure modes are novel.

What we're looking for

  • Proven ability to lead execution in high-ambiguity environments with rapidly evolving requirements and threats.
  • Strong background in security engineering, distributed systems, applied research, or ML systems.
  • Experience delivering runtime detection, abuse prevention, or adaptive enforcement systems.
  • Familiarity with agentic AI systems, LLM-based products, or non-deterministic execution environments.
  • Solid track record of making sound technical tradeoffs and shipping durable solutions without heavy process.
  • Demonstrated ability to translate research, prototypes, or threat models into production-grade systems.
  • Experience partnering closely with offensive security or red-team functions.
