Senior Applied AI Engineer at Microsoft, India

Senior Applied AI Engineer at Microsoft in India. Apply with swipeandhired.

Are you a customer-obsessed, AI-curious problem-solver who thrives in an inclusive, collaborative global team? Join Engineering Operations (EngOps), the organization driving operational excellence across the Microsoft Cloud to strengthen quality, reliability, security, and customer trust.

Our mission is to prevent issues before they happen by turning operational signals into action through AI-powered automation, enabling measurable customer impact at cloud scale. Our culture of empowerment, inclusion, and growth mindset defines how we work.

Within EngOps ACES, the Agent Fleet Operations (AFO) team is looking for an AI-first software engineer to join the Cloud Operational Demand Engineering (CØDE) organization and help advance our mission of driving operational demand to zero. We're seeking a hands-on engineer with a DevOps background — CI/CD and release engineering, safe deployment, observability, and always-on production operations — who pairs that discipline with AI engineering skills and a learn-it-all mindset.

You are passionate about applying AI to solve real customer problems and energized by the challenge of eliminating operational toil.
In this role, you will build and ship production AI solutions that reduce operational demand and improve customer outcomes. You will contribute to the technical execution that turns unresolved cases into autonomously resolved, customer-delighting outcomes — and help build the release, observability, and reliability practices that let a fleet of agents run safely in the customer path.

Role summary
As an individual contributor, you will be hands-on building and improving the agentic patterns that reduce operational demand and improve customer satisfaction. This is a DevOps and production-operations engineering role applied to autonomous AI: you own the delivery, quality, and production health of the components you build, not just their design. This role suits an engineer who has built and shipped production-scale AI systems — and ideally the CI/CD, safe-deployment, and reliability practices around them — and who wants to go deep on agentic resolution while collaborating closely across the team.

Team charter
Build, operationalize, and scale AI-native support experiences for Broad Commercial customers by transforming supportability knowledge into reusable, versioned, testable, and measurable assets that power product experiences, support engineers, and autonomous agents. The team reduces support demand, engineering toil, and time-to-resolution through AI-driven resolution capabilities that continuously learn from customer signals, unresolved cases, and operational insights.

AFO operates a fleet of autonomous agents that resolve customer support cases with human oversight. This is a production DevOps discipline, not a set of prototypes: agents run continuously in the customer path and released, observed, and improved with the same rigor as any always-on service. You and your team will build and run this system across several planes of a single AIOps suite:
