Microsoft 365 AI Platform Architect

Quick Facts

• Role: M365 AI Platform Architect

Description

You will proactively drive the vision, target architecture, and technical roadmap for AI and agentic AI platform enablement across Microsoft 365 and related cloud platforms. The role focuses on Microsoft 365 AI capabilities (including Copilot and agentic offerings) while also assessing how other GenAI platforms (e.g., Gemini, Claude) may affect the broader AI architecture, integration patterns, governance guardrails, and technology decisions. You will translate risk, security, privacy, and compliance requirements into practical platform architecture controls to keep solutions secure, scalable, compliant, and aligned with business and IT strategy.

Responsibilities

• Define AI and agentic AI target architecture and technical roadmap aligned to business and IT strategy

• Set technical guardrails for Microsoft 365 AI capabilities (e.g., M365 Copilot, Copilot Agents, Co-work)

• Architect agentic AI solutions and frameworks (SharePoint Agents, Declarative Agents, Copilot Studio, custom/pro-code agents, Agent 365 scenarios)

• Define tenant-level controls, admin settings, enablement policies, and technical review criteria

• Collaborate on environment strategy, DLP policies, Entra identities, and AI governance

• Convert security/risk/privacy/compliance requirements into architecture and design controls

• Maintain architecture documentation, reference patterns, decision records, and platform readiness requirements

• Create and govern architectural standards, principles, and best practices to reduce complexity and risk

• Analyze stakeholder requirements and the current Microsoft 365 landscape (apps, integrations, identity, infrastructure), identify gaps, and drive roadmaps

• Build consensus across architects, platform teams, governance functions, and business stakeholders

• Evaluate emerging AI technologies, frameworks, and tools for future platform direction

Requirements

• Strong AI, Microsoft 365, and enterprise architecture experience in enterprise-scale environments

• Knowledge of Copilot, Copilot Studio, Power Platform, SharePoint, Teams, Microsoft Graph, Entra ID, and Microsoft 365 admin capabilities

• Understanding of cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, or GCP)

• Awareness of broader GenAI platforms (e.g., Gemini, Claude) and their impact on architecture, integration, security, governance, and strategy

• Experience architecting agentic AI solutions, frameworks, and enterprise integration patterns

• Experience with Azure AI Foundry, Azure OpenAI, Copilot ecosystem, or Azure Machine Learning

• Experience with Microsoft Entra Suite and/or Microsoft Purview, Defender, and Power Platform governance or Graph connectors

• Understanding of Agent 365, Entra Agent ID, and agent registry

• Experience with secure connectors, APIs, or knowledge integration

• Experience designing secure platform services and governance-driven technology enablement models

• Understanding of identity/permissions, Conditional Access, DLP, audit, compliance, and operational control patterns

• Ability to produce architecture documentation, decision frameworks, diagrams, roadmaps, and implementation guardrails

• Very good English communication skills

• Ability to drive architecture discussions and build consensus among senior stakeholders

Benefits

• Hybrid working model (office collaboration with flexible remote work)

• Culture focused on performance and growth with learning opportunities in an international environment

• Values-driven work emphasizing collaboration, ownership, passion, and courage

• Diversity and inclusion supported through ongoing initiatives
