Software Engineer II

Finance Agents (Copilot for Finance) brings the power of generative AI to everyday finance work by meeting users where they already are in Microsoft 365 Copilot, Outlook, and Excel, and by connecting securely to financial systems and ERPs. Our agentic experiences help finance teams accelerate reconciliation, variance analysis, and customer‑facing communications, reducing manual toil and speeding time to insight. The result is fewer app switches, higher trust in data, and measurable productivity gains in the flow of work.

We collaborate closely with partner teams across data, platform, and application layers to ensure our capabilities are extensible, secure, compliant, and enterprise‑ready.

Microsoft is reimagining how organizations run their businesses with generative AI. Our team charter is to build new Microsoft Copilot capabilities for Finance and ERP scenarios while staying at the cutting edge of AI and cloud technologies. We are passionate about learning, building world‑class applications, and delivering delightful user experiences that empower customers to make faster, data‑driven decisions. 

Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more.
