Product Manager
Microsoft
Job description
Overview
We are the Windows Cloud organization at Microsoft; our product lines include Windows 365, a cloud service that streams the full Windows experience — apps, data, and settings — from the Microsoft cloud to any device. Building on that foundation, we are now creating Windows 365 for Agents: a secure, governed, cloud-hosted Windows environment purpose-built for AI agents to autonomously execute computer-use tasks on behalf of users and organizations. Agents need a real Windows desktop to operate the long tail of enterprise apps, browsers, and line-of-business tools — Windows 365 for Agents gives them one, with identity, isolation, observability, and policy controls inherited from Microsoft’s Zero Trust stack. Windows 365 is generally available since August 2021 with millions of active users across thousands of Enterprise customers, and Windows 365 for Agents extends that platform into the agentic era.
Responsibilities
As a Product Manager in Windows 365, you will lead product thinking at the intersection of AI agents, operating systems, and cloud infrastructure. You will shape how AI agents perceive, reason about, and act on a Windows desktop — defining the APIs, runtime primitives, safety guardrails, and admin controls that make agentic computing trustworthy at enterprise scale. You will work hands-on with frontier models, computer-use agent frameworks, and evaluation harnesses to turn rapidly evolving AI capabilities into shipping product. You will partner deeply with engineering, applied science, and design, and represent the product to customers, partners, and the developer community. This role includes customer and partner meetings and a small amount of travel.
Qualifications
Basic Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Math, Science, or other technical field
Preferred Qualifications:
-
1+ years of product or program management experience shipping software products, with hands-on experience building, integrating, or evaluating AI / LLM-powered features
-
Hands-on experience with LLMs, agent frameworks, or computer-use / browser-use agents (e.g. building prompts, tools, evals, or end-to-end agent workflows)
-
Ability to write code or scripts (Python, TypeScript, or similar) well enough to prototype, run evaluations, and reason about API design — this is a builder role, not a purely strategic PM role
-
Strong product intuition for agentic experiences — designing for non-deterministic systems, defining success metrics, and shipping safely in the face of model behavior change
-
Experience with one or more of: operating systems and virtualization, identity and security, enterprise SaaS, developer platforms / SDKs, or AI evaluation and red-teaming
-
Excellent written communication — able to turn fast-moving AI research into crisp specs, customer-facing narratives, and decision documents for executive review
-
Comfort with ambiguity, bias for action, and a builder’s mindset — you would rather prototype an agent loop and look at traces than write a deck about it.
Other Requirements:
Ability to meet Microsoft, customer and/or government security screening requirements are required for this role. These requirements include but are not limited to the following specialized security screenings:
- Microsoft Cloud Background Check: This position will be required to pass the Microsoft Cloud background check upon hire/transfer and every two years
