We partner directly with business teams to rethink how work gets done - building agents, applications, and automations that reduce manual effort, simplify complexity, and deliver measurable business outcomes.\nWe are looking for a US-based Senior Technical Program Manager / FDE who can operate as a full-stack AI builder across Power Platform, Microsoft 365, GitHub, Copilot, Copilot Studio, and emerging AI development tools. This is a hands-on builder role for someone who enjoys working directly with business stakeholders, understanding real workflows, challenging assumptions, and rapidly turning ambiguous problems into production-ready solutions.\nThe candidate brings a learn-it-all mindset, strong technical judgment, product intuition, and the ability to move fluidly from discovery to prototype to deployed solution. This person should be comfortable with AI-assisted development and \"vibe coding\" - using tools such as GitHub Copilot, GitHub CLI, Copilot, Copilot Studio, and related platforms to accelerate solution development while still owning quality, architecture, reliability, and business impact.\nThis role is for a product-minded technical builder - someone with a Technical Product Management, Technical Program Management, Forward Deployed Engineering, or full-stack solution-building background who loves using AI tools to turn ideas into working products. The candidate will be comfortable moving from ambiguous business problem to prototype to production launch, owning the solution end to end rather than handing it off after discovery or design.\nSuccess in this role requires both technical depth and product judgment: the ability to understand stakeholder needs, make pragmatic architecture decisions, build quickly, validate with users, operationalize responsibly, and measure whether the solution changes how work gets done.\nMicrosoft's mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. We foster a culture of growth, innovation, collaboration, respect, integrity, and accountability where everyone can thrive.\nResponsibilities\nBuild end-to-end AI and automation solutions. Design, prototype, build, test, deploy, and iterate solutions using Power Apps, Power Automate, Copilot Studio, Dataverse, Microsoft 365 extensibility, GitHub Copilot, GitHub CLI, Azure AI capabilities, APIs, connectors, and code where needed.\nWork directly with business teams. Partner with stakeholders to understand workflows, pain points, operational constraints, and success measures. Translate ambiguous business needs into clear solution designs, delivery plans, and working products.\nReimagine business processes. Go beyond automating existing steps. Identify opportunities to simplify, redesign, agentify, or eliminate work using AI, automation, and modern application patterns.\nPrototype quickly and responsibly. Use AI-assisted development tools and rapid experimentation to test ideas, validate feasibility, and demonstrate value early, while maintaining a path to secure, reliable, and maintainable production solutions.\nDeliver production impact. Take solutions from concept through deployment, adoption, support readiness, and iteration. Balance speed with quality, reliability, ownership, and lifecycle management.\nExtend low-code with full-stack engineering. Build integrations, APIs, custom connectors, scripts, services, UI components, or backend logic using technologies such as JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, C#, GitHub, Azure, and Microsoft Graph when low-code alone is insufficient.\nBuild agents and AI-powered workflows. Create AI agents and copilots that are grounded in business data, connected to tools and actions, evaluated for quality, and designed with appropriate human-in-the-loop controls.\nMeasure business outcomes. Define success with stakeholders and track adoption, cycle-time reduction, manual effort avoided, quality improvements, user satisfaction, and time to value.\nBuild responsibly and for reuse. Apply security, privacy, responsible AI, access controls, data-loss prevention, testing, monitoring, and application lifecycle management. Create reusable agents, components, templates, and patterns that raise the capability of the broader team.\nContribute to a learn-it-all culture. Experiment with emerging AI tools, share demos, document patterns, mentor peers through technical examples, and help the team continuously improve how it builds.\nOperate as part of a global team. Collaborate across time zones with business leaders, principal-level technical leaders, platform teams, engineering partners, and operational owners to manage dependencies and deliver cohesive solutions.\nEmbody ourcultureandvalues\n\nQualifications\nRequired Qualifications\nBachelor's Degree AND 4+ years experience in engineering, product/technical program management, data analysis, or product development OR equivalent experience.\n2+ years of experience managing cross-functional and/or cross-team projects.\n\nPreferred Qualifications\nBackground as a Technical Product Manager, Technical Program Manager, Forward Deployed Engineer, Solutions Architect, product-minded engineer, or similar business-embedded technical role.\nPassion for AI-assisted development and vibe coding, with demonstrated ability to turn ambiguous ideas into working prototypes and carry them through to product launch, adoption, and iteration.\nApplied generative AI experience, including grounding, retrieval-augmented generation, agent orchestration, evaluation, prompt design, and human-in-the-loop workflows.\nFamiliarity with Azure AI services, Microsoft Graph, Microsoft 365 extensibility, Teams apps, SharePoint, and enterprise data integration patterns.\nExperience building full-stack internal tools, workflow applications, dashboards, agents, or automations for enterprise users.\nExperience redesigning end-to-end business processes and measuring operational improvements.\nEvidence of technical thought leadership through reusable solutions, demos, communities of practice, internal accelerators, or shared engineering patterns.\nStrong ability to learn new tools quickly and apply them pragmatically to real business problems.\nTechnical Program Management IC4 - The typical base pay range for this role across the U.S. is USD $119,800 - $234,700 per year.
