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.\nMicrosoft Security is committed to making the world a safer place by empowering organizations to protect their digital assets against evolving cyber threats. Through continuous innovation and a growth mindset, we build cutting-edge security solutions that help customers stay ahead of emerging challenges. The Compass group addresses one of the most critical emerging challenges in cybersecurity: securing cryptographic infrastructure in the AI and quantum era. Driven by evolving threats, growing customer demand, and increasing regulatory requirements, organizations must gain visibility, control, and protection over their cryptographic assets while preparing for a quantum-safe future. To address this challenge, Microsoft Security is establishing a new product group to build the next generation of cryptographic security solutions, from continuous discovery and risk assessment to AI-driven remediation and post-quantum readiness. Working closely with teams across Microsoft, we have a unique opportunity to shape a new product from the ground up, bringing together expertise in cybersecurity, AI, cryptography, and cloud-scale engineering to deliver solutions with global impact. As a Technical Product Manager in the Compass group, you will sit at the intersection of deep technology and customer value. This is a highly technical, hands-on role. You will go deep on cryptography, cloud security architecture, and AI agents. You will build novel proofs-of-concept to validate ideas quickly, and you will translate customer requirements into a clear, buildable product plan. You will work closely with engineering, security research, and partner teams across Microsoft to shape the product's direction and get it to market.
