Principal Group Engineering Manager

Microsoft Specialized Clouds combines the power of edge platforms, devices, and services to deliver comprehensive edge solutions, operating systems, and engineering systems. Our team is dedicated to extending Azure’s native capabilities to the customer edge, empowering customers to run a wide range of edge applications — including network-intensive workloads and mission-critical apps — with enhanced resiliency, security, observability, and performance. The Network Fabric team is at the heart of this mission. We build and operate the network infrastructure platform that underpins Azure Operator Nexus and Azure Local, delivering cloud-managed networking at the edge. Our work spans network device programming (Arista, Cisco), Azure Resource Provider engineering, spine-leaf fabric orchestration, and the full lifecycle of network configuration management — from initial deployment through in-service upgrades and day-2 operations. We are in the midst of a critical engineering transformation: raising the bar on quality, test-driven development, release predictability, and operational maturity. The leader who joins this team will inherit meaningful momentum — and the mandate to accelerate it.
