Overview
Commercial Engineering & AI CEAI partners closely with stakeholders to accelerate the transformation of Microsoft’s commercial business into a frontier organization. We bring together AI‑native engineering, modern platforms, and deep commercial insight to reimagine how work gets done - at scale and with impact. Our mission is to unlock new ways of operating through intelligent systems while creating the conditions for our teams to do the most meaningful work of their careers. If you’re excited to build, experiment, and shape the future of commercial execution with AI at the core, we invite you to apply.
Partner Center is Microsoft’s primary platform for engaging, enabling, and transacting with our global partner ecosystem. Spanning partner enrollment, incentives, co-sell, marketplace, billing, compliance, and AI-powered experiences, we build products and platforms that help millions of partners grow their businesses and accelerate customer success. Joining Partner Center offers the opportunity to work at the intersection of AI, commerce, and platform engineering while delivering solutions that directly impact Microsoft’s ecosystem growth and revenue.
As a Senior Software Engineer, you will design and ship core components of the agentic sales platform that field sellers and partner teams rely on daily. You own features end to end, from prototype to production, working across orchestration, grounding, evals, observability, and the SDK surfaces other engineers build on. You take real ownership of what you ship, help raise the bar for how agents are built and evaluated on the team, and grow your influence as you go.
This role is for an engineer with a bias for action who already builds with Claude Code, Codex, MCP, or open-source agent stacks, and who follows the frontier closely. If that's you, this role gives you the surface area to do it at a global scale.
Responsibilities
- Design and build major components of our agentic sales platform: orchestration, tools and skills, grounding, evals and observability, and model routing.
- Own components end to end, from prototype to production, including the harder judgment calls within your area.
- Partner with AI Foundry, Microsoft Research, Substrate, and the Copilot organization to use shared primitives like agent SDKs, eval harnesses, content safety, and telemetry.
- Contribute to the eval and Responsible AI bar for shipping agents in the Sales surface, with a focus on production-grade quality.
- Help raise the agent-engineering bar through code review, design review, and mentoring peers.
- Bring agentic patterns into the team's work and share what you learn.
Qualifications
