Microsoft AI is redefining search at global scale. On Bing, we’re building AI‑first, whole‑page experiences—combining world‑class UX, rigorous experimentation, and responsible AI for millions of users every day.

Search is one of the most used products in the world—and it’s being fundamentally reinvented. Bing sits at the center of that shift, blending trusted search with AI‑powered experiences. This role puts you directly in the critical path of that transformation.
