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 who is curious, adaptable, and excited to build with purpose. You’ll join 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 and learning from experienced engineers.
This role is ideal for engineers who are passionate about crafting intuitive user experiences, exploring 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 tools like GitHub Copilot and Copilot Studio.
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.
