Shape how millions of developers write, understand, and maintain code with Artificial Intelligence (AI) directly inside Visual Studio by integrating next-gen capabilities like Agent Mode and Model Context Protocol (MCP) server integration.
Requirements
- coding in languages including, but not limited to, C, C++, C-Sharp, Java, JavaScript, or Python
- building large-scale, high-performance applications or developer tools
- using generative AI coding assistance and tooling to augment your development work
- prompt design, tool/function calling, eval harnesses; understanding of MCP/agent patterns.
- Telemetry analysis, A/B testing, and a data‑driven approach to iteration
- testing, profiling, accessibility, resilience, and secure‑by‑design practices.
Responsibilities
- Design and ship AI-assisted features in Visual Studio that help developers generate, explain, and refactor code—measured by adoption, reliability, and user satisfaction.
- Integrate Copilot/MCP (Model Context Protocol) into core Integrated Development Environment (IDE) workflows with strong attention to performance, privacy, and safety-by-default.
- Collaborate with partner teams across Microsoft and GitHub to deliver secure, performant solutions and iterate quickly on real developer feedback.
- Contribute to designs (Application Programming Interfaces (API), data flows, extensibility points) and participate in code/design reviews to keep quality and maintainability high for a large codebase.
- Instrument and learn using telemetry, experimentation, and diagnostics to improve latency, reliability, and relevance over time.
Other
- MS Culture & Values: Embody our Culture and Values.
- Ability to meet Microsoft, customer and/or government security screening requirements are required for this role.
- Microsoft Cloud Background Check: This position will be required to pass the Microsoft Cloud background check upon hire/transfer and every two years thereafter.
