Shape the way the M365 measures and drives the feedback loop for its AI offerings!
On the M365 Evaluation Platform Team, you’ll have a front-row seat to how AI impacts millions of users. You’ll help steer one of Microsoft’s most important efforts forward, taking our evaluation system to the next level for our builders and partners.

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.
