Principal Software Engineer

We are part of the Office of the CTO at Microsoft, within the Technology and Research (T&R) organization. In addition to synthesizing insights and enabling engineering teams to achieve more, we act as technological pathfinders - exploring emerging trends in distributed systems, operating systems, networking, storage, data privacy and security, etc. We collaborate with a distinguished set of engineers to identify promising ideas and help transform them into impactful business strategies and products. Computing is becoming ubiquitous, with massive volumes of data being generated and processed to drive intelligent decision-making. This necessitates the need for next-generation software that can meet real-world constraints at scale. This is a unique opportunity to work at the forefront of early-stage innovation, where you’ll help define the technical foundations for next generation platforms. We’re looking for a Principal Software Engineer to explore this evolving domain and shape the future of computing.
