Job description

This role is for a Product Manager on the Platform Engineering team at Microsoft, focusing on building an AI-first internal developer platform. The team aims to enhance the developer experience for Microsoft engineering teams, enabling them to ship faster and safer. The position emphasizes ownership of the platform as a product, requiring hands-on involvement in prototyping and analysis. The ideal candidate will drive adoption and measure success through data-driven insights.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's Degree AND 8+ years in product management or software development, or equivalent experience.
  • Hands-on experience using generative AI and agents to build prototypes, tools, or shipped products.
  • Experience owning a developer-facing or platform product as the product owner.
  • A track record of making product decisions from data, defining metrics, and driving outcomes.

Responsibilities

  • Own the platform roadmap across the teams served, setting priorities and making decisions on what to build.
  • Define and measure what 'faster and safer' means, reporting on the platform's adoption and effectiveness.
  • Prototype and build dashboards, tools, and analyses to test ideas and read data independently.
  • Run the adoption motion, including onboarding, documentation, and developer relations.
  • Collaborate with architects and engineers to determine what to build and why, while maintaining the overall roadmap.

Benefits

  • Employees at Microsoft are often offered comprehensive, “world-class” benefits—including health and mental-wellness programs, competitive pay with bonuses and stock awards, and retirement/savings options. Time-off and flexibility are common, with generous vacation and holidays, parental and caregiver leave, and flexible work schedules, alongside learning support, employee resource groups, product discounts, and matching-gifts/volunteering programs. Specific benefits can vary by region.
