Overview

AI agents are only as effective as the experiences that help users configure and control them. We’re building the semantic layer for Microsoft’s next-generation data platform—the foundation that enables AI to understand business context and take meaningful action. As a Senior Product Designer, you’ll design guided experiences that make it easy for business and IT users to provide input, configure semantic models, and visualize complex relationships in ways that feel intuitive and actionable.

Your work will focus on agentic flows that guide users through defining business logic, goals, and outcomes—helping them shape how AI agents reason and act. You’ll turn abstract semantic concepts into clear, interactive experiences that empower users without requiring deep technical expertise.

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.
