Overview

The Microsoft Teams Platform team is building the foundation for how developers create AI-powered agents, apps, and extensions that work seamlessly inside Microsoft Teams. As our platform rapidly evolves, developer guidance and documentation are critical to ensuring developers have a seamless experience adopting new capabilities and building high-quality solutions.

We are looking for a Developer Engagement Product Manager to own and evolve the end-to-end developer content experience for the Teams Platform. This role is deeply embedded as part of our product team, and serves as the connective tissue between product strategy, developer feedback, competitive insights, and documentation quality. While this role does not directly ship product features, it is a core driver of developer success and platform adoption.

This role is ideal for a PM who thrives at the intersection of content design, developer experience, and customer empathy, and who can bring rigor, accountability, and strategic thinking to documentation as a first-class product surface. This PM should push the boundaries for how content is used in the development process of a Teams agent using modern AI toolsets.

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.
