About the role

Overview

Microsoft Security (MSEC) is seeking a Senior AI Engineer to lead the development of AI-native, multi-agent systems that help customers securely adopt AI at an enterprise scale.  

This role sits at the intersection of AI engineering, security, and customer readiness, bridging the gap between cutting-edge AI capabilities (LLMs, agentic systems) and real-world enterprise adoption. You will design, build, and deploy intelligent systems that transform complex signals across identity, devices, data, applications, and infrastructure into actionable intelligence, automation, and measurable outcomes 

You will operate in a highly collaborative, cross-company environment, driving end-to-end execution—from AI model development and data pipelines to production deployment, telemetry, and continuous optimization—while shaping how enterprises prepare for and securely adopt AI.  

As an AI Engineer, you will bridge the gap between AI research and real-world applications, enabling automation, enhanced decision-making, reasoning, and innovation. 



Responsibilities

Responsibilities (Enhanced with Modern AI Engineering Expectations) 

AI Systems, Models & Platform Engineering 

  • Design and build multi-agent AI systems leveraging LLMs, RAG pipelines, and vector-based retrieval systems to operationalize customer readiness across security domains. 

  • Develop and productionize machine learning and deep learning models that transform large-scale, multi-source enterprise signals into contextual intelligence and automation. 

  • Architect scalable systems for data ingestion, feature engineering, and model training, integrating signals across Microsoft services.  

  • Implement optimization and automation algorithms for prediction, prioritization, and decision-making across AI readiness workflows. 

Data, MLOps & Productionization 

  • Build and operate scalable data pipelines, ETL workflows, and training infrastructure to support AI lifecycle management. 

  • Deploy models into production using MLOps practices (CI/CD, model versioning, containerization) to ensure reliability, reproducibility, and scalability. 

  • Monitor deployed AI systems for performance, drift, reliability, and security risks, continuously improving through telemetry and feedback loops. 

  • Establish best practices for model governance, evaluation, and lifecycle management aligned with enterprise security and compliance requirements. 

AI Readiness & Customer Impact 

  • Define and operationalize AI readiness frameworks, metrics, and telemetry to measure adoption maturity and security posture.  

  • Translate customer scenarios into deployable AI solutions, playbooks, and onboarding frameworks that enable secure AI adoption at scale. 

  • Embed AI into customer workflows via APIs, services, and platform integrations, delivering end-to-end experiences. 

Builder Mindset & Iteration Velocity 

  • Demonstrate a strong builder mindset with a bias for action—rapidly prototyping and iterating on AI solutions, evolving them from experimentation to production-scale systems.  

  • Operate in ambiguous environments, converting problem spaces into working AI systems using iterative development, experimentation, and telemetry-driven refinement.
