Software Engineer

The Microsoft 365 Copilot Mobile team in India is looking for a passionate and talented Software Engineer to build the next generation of AI-powered mobile experiences for iOS.

The M365 Copilot App team is redefining productivity on mobile by delivering Copilot-powered experiences that combine the richness of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint with mobile-first design. Our mission is to enable seamless creation, consumption, and collaboration on the go.

With 100M+ monthly active users and growing daily engagement, we're building an app that is truly centered around the user, scaling across multiple digital identities to keep them productive anytime, anywhere. Achieving this requires faster experimentation, solid quality of experience, and coherence across platforms.

Search and innovation is at the heart of this mission. We're building intelligent, AI-driven search experiences that help users find what they need—documents, chats, emails, and more—quickly and effortlessly. Our goal is to make search context-aware, personalized, and lightning fast, leveraging the power of large language models and Microsoft Graph.

We thrive on a fast-paced ideate → create → learn cycle and measure success through tangible value delivered to our customers. As we scale to the next level of growth, we're looking for passionate, purposeful, and resilient engineers who embrace learning and bring a "can-do" attitude to solving complex challenges.

The ideal Software Engineer will have a blend of technical chops in native (C/C++) language and good experience in Android and iOS development. Having a background or early exposure to experimentation and data science is a plus. If you don't have that background, you will have the opportunity to immerse yourself in data driven engineering practice.

As we scale to the next level of growth, we're looking for highly motivated, self-starter engineers who thrive in a bottoms-up, fast-paced, highly technical environment, have a solid customer focus, and understand the importance of quality. If you're passionate about building first-class productivity experiences, this is the place for you.
