Software Engineer 2 - Engineering Systems

CoreAI is at the forefront of Microsoft’s mission to redefine how software is built and experienced. We are responsible for building the foundational platforms, services, programming models, and developer experiences that power the next generation of applications using Generative AI. Our work enables developers and enterprises to harness the full potential of AI to create intelligent, adaptive, and transformative software.  

The 1ES (One Engineering System) team is responsible for enabling the world's best engineering teams with world-class tools and systems that help them ship products their customers love. 

Security is Microsoft’s top priority. The widespread use of agents that make exploiting vulnerabilities easier than ever means engineering teams must address an increasing number of findings to remain secure. Automating remediation through high-quality pull requests that address security issues, alongside providing defense-in-depth mechanisms, is key to strengthening Microsoft’s security posture while keeping engineering teams productive. 

Join the 1ES Remediation and Dependabot team as a Software Engineer 2 - Engineering Systems focused on AI, security, and developer productivity. You will contribute to the ongoing growth and support of the engineering system powering Microsoft.

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.
