Microsoft Overview The  Agent 365 team is building the enterprise platform for managing and governing AI agents  are looking for a Senior Software Engineer who is passionate about building secure, reliable, and highly scalable distributed systems and helping shape the future of enterprise agent management. Agent 365 brings together agent inventory, identity, ownership, lifecycle management, governance, administrative controls, and integrations across Microsoft's agent ecosystem.

Internally, the governance architecture treats agents as governable enterprise actors with explicit identity, ownership, accountability, and standardized lifecycle states, while coordinating with systems including Microsoft Entra and agent platforms.
As a Senior Software Engineer, you will own meaningful end-to-end areas of the platform, from architecture and API design through implementation, deployment, observability, and production operations. You will work closely with engineers, product managers, designers, security experts, and partner teams to solve technically challenging problems across organizational and service boundaries.

Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.

Responsibilities Own and deliver complex engineering features end to end, from technical design and implementation through validation, deployment, monitoring, and production support. Design and build secure, scalable, highly available cloud services and APIs supporting Agent 365 management and governance scenarios. Contribute to capabilities such as agent registry, lifecycle management, identity integration, ownership, governance actions, administrative APIs, and cross-platform orchestration. These are prominent areas in the current Agent 365 governance architecture.  

Drive technical design for ambiguous problems, make sound engineering tradeoffs, and turn product requirements into maintainable architectures. Work across service boundaries and partner teams to define contracts, resolve dependencies, and deliver coherent end-to-end experiences. Build with security, privacy, compliance, reliability, and operability as core design requirements, rather than treating them as afterthoughts. Establish strong engineering fundamentals including automated testing, monitoring, telemetry, diagnostics, deployment safety, and incident readiness.

Diagnose complex production issues and drive improvements that prevent recurrence. Participate actively in design and code reviews and raise the engineering quality bar across the team. Mentor other engineers through technical guidance, code reviews, design discussions, and hands-on collaboration. Leverage AI-assisted engineering tools and modern development practices to improve engineering velocity while maintaining a high quality bar. Qualifications
