Overview

Frontier Foundry is IDC’s bold new innovation engine — a design-led, full-stack engineering team delivering multimodal, AI-powered experiences across Surface, Windows, and Copilot. Operating outside traditional platform constraints, F² is built to move fast, think big, and build from the edge.

We’re looking for a Software Engineer II who thrives in dynamic environments, codes with vibe, and builds with purpose. You’ll be part of a fast-moving, full-stack squad focused on one or more of F²’s core charters — Surface Acceleration, Multimodal Innovation, or AI Agents — contributing to functional software increments every sprint.
This role is ideal for engineers who are passionate about crafting intuitive user experiences, experimenting with AI-assisted development tools, and collaborating across disciplines to bring bold ideas to life. You’ll work closely with senior engineers and leads, contributing to design, development, and intelligent test automation using modern AI-assisted tools like GitHub Copilot and Copilot Chat.

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.

Qualifications

Required Qualifications:
  • Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science or related technical field AND 5+ years of technical engineering experience with programming skills in one or more languages: C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, or Python.
    OR equivalent experience.
  • Experience with AI-assisted development tools like GitHub Copilot, Copilot Studio, AI Foundry, or similar.
  • Exposure to one or more interaction models and multimodal interfaces (inking, stylus, voice, touch, sensors, haptics, gestures, etc.)

Other Requirements:
Ability to meet Microsoft, customer and/or government security screening requirements are required for this role. These requirements include but are not limited to the following specialized security screenings:
  • Microsoft Cloud Background Check: This position will be required to pass the Microsoft Cloud background check upon hire/transfer and every two years thereafter.

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience building agents, extensions, or projects on top of platforms like GitHub Copilot, Copilot Studio, or similar AI frameworks is a significant plus.
  • Sharp product and design instincts — able to shape user-facing experiences and make informed trade-offs.
  • Ability to thrive in dynamic environments and contribute meaningfully to ambiguous problem spaces.
  • Excellent collaboration and communication skills.
