What you will do

• Design and build secure, high‑performance platform components that support Copilot’s agentic workflows across cloud and device environments.
• Develop novel security mechanisms for agentic AI systems, including real‑time intent validation, information‑flow controls, isolation boundaries, and abuse‑resistant orchestration.
• Build and operate offensive security tooling and agents that continuously probe Copilot’s autonomy, reasoning paths, and trust boundaries.
• Partner closely with AI researchers, platform engineers, and product teams to translate research and prototypes into production‑ready security features.
• Use telemetry, signals, and data‑driven analysis to detect abuse, anomalous agent behavior, and emerging threat patterns.
• Contribute to a culture of high ownership, technical excellence, and inclusive collaboration.

Requirements

• Doctorate in Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science, or related field AND 3+ years of experience OR Master’s Degree AND 4+ years of experience OR Bachelor’s Degree AND 6+ years of experience in security engineering, secure software development, large-scale computing, threat modeling, or applied security analytics, including experience designing or building systems to detect, prevent, or mitigate security threats, or equivalent experience.
