Overview

As Microsoft continues to push the boundaries of AI, we are on the lookout for passionate individuals to work with us on the most interesting and challenging AI questions of our time. Our vision is bold and broad — to build systems that have true artificial intelligence across agents, applications, services, and infrastructure. It’s also inclusive: we aim to make AI accessible to all — consumers, businesses, developers — so that everyone can realize its benefits. 

 

We build the cross-cutting capabilities that shape the future of human-AI interaction. Our work spans modalities—text, voice, vision, action—and pushes the boundaries of what intelligence can do in people's lives. We partner deeply with design, product, and applied AI to ship extraordinary experiences that define what Copilot becomes. The problems we solve don't fit neatly into one layer of the stack or one corner of the org—which is exactly what makes them interesting. Our mandate is to make Copilot the essential AI companion: ubiquitous, always capable, always there. We're building for a future where AI doesn't just respond—it acts, creates, and orchestrates. 

As a Principal Full-Stack Software Engineer on our AI Experiences, Copilot Engineering team, you'll build revolutionary experiences at the intersection of modality and intelligence. The pace is fast. The ambiguity is high. You'll ship things that millions of people use—and you'll ship things that don't exist anywhere else yet. 

If you want to work on well-scoped problems with clear answers, this isn't the team. If you want to define the future of how humans and AI live and work together, come build with us.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
