Our success is grounded in a culture of respect, integrity, accountability, and a growth mindset—values that shape how we work, innovate, and collaborate every day. Cloud Operations & Innovation (CO+I) is the engine behind Microsoft’s cloud. We operate a global portfolio of more than 400 datacenters and millions of servers, supporting digital services for over one billion customers and twenty million businesses across more than ninety countries. This infrastructure is designed, operated, and continuously improved by teams of deep technical experts who safeguard reliability, trust, and scale. IT Process and Standards (ITPS), a team within CO+I Core Datacenter Services (CDS), envisions a unified, automated approach to managing IT operations processes and standards across Microsoft’s global datacenter fleet. This ensures the ability to maintain and restore IT capacity efficiently and effectively to meet cloud service availability targets at scale.

By equipping operations teams with the right tools and procedures, ITPS supports innovation and growth across offerings such as Azure AI, high-performance computing clusters, and mission-critical workloads. We are seeking a highly skilled Data Engineer to join our team within ITPS. This role is critical for formulating business problems, exploring and analyzing data, and designing and testing predictive and forecasting models. The Data Engineer will identify opportunities for machine learning and predictive analysis, and communicate effectively to influence data-driven decisions across the organization.
