Software Engineer 2

Welcome to the Microsoft AI Secure Engineering Systems team, a global team with the charter of securing our engineering systems for Microsoft AI. Engineering Systems are critical to build a secure software stack since they are the root of trust for the software that powers Microsoft AI.

The organization is comprised of software engineers who will work on improving and hardening our engineering systems by designing and implementing systems and tools that improve the security posture for all our developer interactions. This will range from building tools to understand and optimize our permission footprint to writing low-level software that can analyze PE and ELF files for Windows and Linux to understand if they’re built securely to writing continuous engineering tools to monitor activity of various processes (profiling) on production systems.

A successful engineer will be someone who enjoys dump debugging, analyzing and scrutinizing minute details about APIs, enjoys how build systems and compilers interact.

If you want to work on an organization aiming for securing the most prized asset for Microsoft, it’s AI organization, we’d love to chat with you.
