Microsoft Security aspires to make the world a safer place for all. We want to reshape security and empower every user, customer, and developer with a security cloud that protects them with end to end, simplified solutions. The Microsoft Security organization accelerates Microsoft's mission and bold ambitions to ensure that our company and industry is securing digital technology platforms, devices, and clouds in our customers' heterogeneous environments, as well as ensuring the security of our own internal estate. Our culture is centered on embracing a growth mindset, a theme of inspiring excellence, and encouraging teams and leaders to bring their best each day. In doing so, we create life-changing innovations that impact billions of lives around the world. Email, chat, and the web are integral parts of our everyday lives. They are essential for communication and productivity, but are also the primary ways cybercriminals exploit victims and infiltrate organizations. Attackers abuse these communication methods to steal identities through phishing, hold critical assets for ransom, inflict financial harm, and install malicious software. Do you want to join a team dedicated to protecting hundreds of millions of people from these threats? At Microsoft Security, our mission is to make the world a safer place for all. The Messaging and Web Security Research team is a global, multidisciplinary organization of engineers, data scientists, security researchers, and program managers. With an unparalleled view of the threat landscape, we develop deep expertise in attacker techniques and use that knowledge along with the latest technology to stop it. We protect customers using Outlook.com, Microsoft Defender for O365, Microsoft Edge, and much more. We are looking for a Principal Security Research Engineer level person who can turbocharge our most important initiatives and has the breadth and adaptability to take on a range of challenging projects, whether that is assessing new applications of the latest generative AI, proposing a redesign of our detection stack, or working with a partner team to integrate an amazing new customer experience across product lines.

This means that you are not only adept at conceptualizing new approaches to problems, but are also deeply involved in hands-on development. This role requires a balance of technical acumen, with a inclination towards prototyping, tinkering, and exploring the realms of what's possible through people, code and data. 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.
