Product Manager Jobs at Microsoft with Visa Sponsorship

Overview

AI is rapidly becoming embedded in enterprise applications, agents, and copilots - creating a new security frontier. Microsoft’s Azure AI Foundry team is looking for a Principal Product Manager – AI Security to help define how enterprises secure AI systems across their lifecycle, from development to deployment and operation.

As organizations deploy AI agents that can access data, call tools, and take actions, traditional security models are no longer sufficient. This role will help build the security foundation for agentic systems, addressing emerging threats such as prompt injection, sensitive data exfiltration, unsafe tool usage, model misuse, and adversarial manipulation.

You will lead product efforts to help enterprises detect, prevent, and govern AI security risks, working closely with security engineers, CISOs, and AI developers. This includes integrating AI security capabilities with Microsoft’s broader security stack - including Microsoft Defender, Entra, Purview, and Azure AI Foundry - to deliver a comprehensive security platform for AI systems.

This is a highly technical product role at the intersection of AI systems, cybersecurity, and enterprise cloud infrastructure. You will partner across Microsoft’s Responsible AI, Security, and Azure teams to define how organizations protect AI systems and safely deploy AI-powered applications at scale.

Why Join Us?

• You’ll help define the emerging discipline of AI security, building the tools enterprises need to safely deploy AI agents and copilots.
• Your work will shape how CISOs, security teams, and developers defend against new classes of AI-native threats in the world’s most trusted cloud platform.

Responsibilities

• Lead the AI Security product area within Azure AI Foundry, defining the long-term vision, strategy, and roadmap for securing AI applications and agents.
• Design and deliver security capabilities that help organizations identify, mitigate, and monitor AI attack patterns, including prompt injection, jailbreaks, data exfiltration, malicious tool calls, and model misuse.
• Partner with security engineers, red teams, and AI researchers to translate emerging AI attack techniques into productized protections.
• Integrate AI security capabilities with Microsoft’s broader security ecosystem, including Defender (threat detection), Entra (identity and access), and Purview (data protection and governance).
• Work closely with enterprise security leaders, CISOs, and security practitioners to understand real-world AI security challenges and design solutions that fit existing security operations.
• Drive 0-to-1 product development, bringing new AI security capabilities from early concept and experimentation through production launch and adoption.
• Establish metrics for AI security posture and product success, including risk coverage, detection efficacy, and customer adoption.
• Represent Microsoft’s approach to AI security and safe agent deployment in customer engagements, industry conversations, and internal strategy discussions.
