As an **AI Engineer** in the Office AI team, you work to enhance Office productivity with AI-driven experiences and services across key applications. The team builds the core platforms and experiences that bring large language models (LLMs) and real time intelligence into Office apps. These platforms are key components of Microsoft Copilot, combining the power of large language models with enterprise data and native integration with Office apps to streamline productivity, including content generation, navigation, comprehension and more.

We are looking for a creative AI Engineer who will collaborate with software engineers, researchers, and product managers to express product needs as well defined machine learning problems, push the state of the art in LLMs and bring prototypes all the way to planet scale production. You’ll build the engineering that makes AI work in production: you will build APIs, platforms and services around AI features; design data pipelines and feedback loops; deploy and fine tune state of the art deep learning models; orchestrate prompts and tools; and monitor AI specific signals—such as drift, hallucinations, safety and cost—alongside traditional service reliability metrics.

Join us to empower people through AI, bringing cutting edge deep learning into everyday work at scale. At Microsoft, our mission is to empower every person and every organization to achieve more; we show up with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize shared goals. Rooted in respect, integrity, and accountability, we foster an inclusive culture where everyone can thrive. If you are passionate about applying state of the art AI to positively impact millions, this role is for you.
