Our agents now read from documents, tools, connectors, and the open web, and any of that content could be crafted by an attacker to hijack what the agent does next. The Office Security Team is looking for a Senior Product Manager to own the layer that stops malicious instructions from ever landing, the detection that catches them on the way in, and the containment that makes sure a single bad input cannot cascade into real damage. Cross-prompt injection, or XPIA, is the defining security threat of the agentic era, and there is no textbook for beating it.
The defenses you ship decide whether people can trust AI with their most sensitive work, from their finances to their health records to their company's crown jewels. This is a place to go deep: the detection and containment problems here are genuinely unsolved, the feedback loop is fast, and the craft you build will be in demand for the rest of the agentic era. pre-AI era, and influence peers to embed AI into the fabric of how we work.
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.
