 * Experience building scalable web APIs and services
 * Comfort with ambiguity and the ability to move fast in loosely-defined problem spaces
 * Taste for great product experiences and a drive to ship work that matters

## Description

You'll build revolutionary experiences at the intersection of modality and intelligence. The pace is fast. The ambiguity is high. You'll ship things that millions of people use-and you'll ship things that don't exist anywhere else yet.

If you want to work on well-scoped problems with clear answers, this isn't the team. If you want to define the future of how humans and AI live and work together, come build with us.

Responsibilities

 * Create breakthrough experiences that redefine what an AI companion can do
 * Build across modalities-voice, vision, text, and action-to make Copilot feel seamless and alive
 * Own features end-to-end, from concept through production, at scale
 * Collaborate with applied AI researchers to bring cutting-edge model capabilities to users
 * Ship experiments rapidly, learn from usage, and iterate toward experiences that feel like magic
 * Work across team boundaries on problems that span the entire product
