Job description

**Overview** Microsoft 365 powers some of the world’s most critical productivity experiences at massive global scale. The M365 Core organization builds the foundational platforms that enable Microsoft 365 services to deploy, operate, scale, and evolve safely and efficiently. We are looking for a **Senior Product Manager** to join the M365 Core team in Noida and help shape the future of our cloud infrastructure and safe deployment platforms. This role sits at the intersection of cloud infrastructure, deployment and release management, reliability, developer experience, and AI. You will work closely with engineering teams and partner organizations to simplify complex infrastructure problems, build scalable platform capabilities, and rethink how AI can transform the way large-scale cloud services are developed and operated. 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** As a Senior Product Manager, you will: - Define the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for foundational cloud infrastructure, deployment, and service-management capabilities. - Partner deeply with engineering teams to solve complex problems in deployment, release safety, service reliability, infrastructure management, and developer productivity. - Understand the needs of service engineering teams and translate them into scalable platform capabilities rather than point solutions. - Build experiences that make it easier and safer for developers to deploy and operate services at cloud scale. - Use product telemetry, customer feedback, operational signals, and engineering insights to identify opportunities and measure impact. - Drive adoption of platform capabilities across multiple services and engineering teams. - Simplify complex technical concepts into clear product priorities, requirements, and executive-level narratives. - Work across organizational boundaries to align stakeholders, make thoughtful trade-offs, and drive results. AI-Forward Product Leadership - We are specifically looking for a PM who believes AI and agents can fundamentally change how cloud infrastructure is built and operated. You will explore opportunities such as: - Applying AI to operational signals, deployment data, incidents, logs, and engineering knowledge to surface actionable insights. - Creating intelligent and agentic experiences that help engineers diagnose problems and make better operational decisions. - Automating repetitive operational and deployment workflows while maintaining appropriate safety and governance. - Using AI to improve developer productivity and reduce the cognitive load associated with operating complex distributed systems. - Rapidly prototyping AI-powered experiences with engineering teams and validating them with real users. - Understanding the strengths and limitations of LLMs, agents, retrieval systems, and emerging AI technologies and translating them into practical product opportunities. - We are looking for someone who uses AI as an integral part of their own product management workflow, not simply someone who manages an AI feature. **Qualifications** **Required/Minimum Qualifications:** - Bachelor's Degree AND 8+ years experience in product management . **Additional or preferred qualifications** **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 thereafter. **Preferred Qualifications:** - Solid product management experience delivering technically complex products or platforms. - Demonstrated ability to work closely with engineering teams on cloud services, infrastructure platforms, developer platforms, distributed systems, reliability, or related areas. - Solid product thinking with the ability to move between customer problems, technical architecture, product strategy, and execution. - Ability to operate effectively in ambiguous problem spaces and create clarity and direction. - Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to influence senior engineering and product stakeholders. - Solid analytical skills and a track record of using data to inform product decisions. - Experience with large-scale cloud infrastructure or platform products. - Understanding of CI/CD, deployment systems, service reliability, observability, incident management, or infrastructure automation. - Hands-on familiarity with modern AI tools and AI-assisted product development. - Understanding of LLMs, AI agents, retrieval-based systems, evaluation, and modern AI application architectures. - Experience building products for developers or technical users. - Ability to prototype ideas using AI-assisted development tools, scripting, data analysis, or lightweight application development. - Experience driving platform adoption across multiple engineering organizations. What Success Looks Like - Platform Thinker You think beyond individual features and identify reusable capabilities that can solve classes of problems across a large cloud ecosystem. - Technical Product Leader You are comfortable going deep with engineers on infrastructure, deployment, reliability, and architecture while maintaining a solid customer and product perspective. - AI-Forward Builder You actively experiment with AI, understand where it genuinely changes the product experience, and push beyond simply adding AI features to existing workflows. - Customer-Obsessed PM You understand the engineers and service teams using your platform, deeply investigate their friction points, and turn those insights into simple, scalable product experiences. Why This Role - This is an opportunity to work on foundational technologies that influence how some of Microsoft’s largest cloud services are deployed, operated, and protected at global scale. - You will tackle problems where cloud infrastructure, safe deployment, reliability, developer productivity, and AI converge, with the opportunity to build capabilities that can benefit a broad set of services and engineering teams. - We are looking for a PM who is comfortable with complexity, passionate about platforms, and excited to help define what an AI-native operating model for cloud services should look like. #CAPIDC #M365CORE This position will be open for a minimum of 5 days, with applications accepted on an ongoing basis until the position is filled. --- Microsoft is an equal opportunity employer.
