Senior Principal Engineering Manager

Microsoft Research (MSR) is working to transform the future of artificial intelligence (AI) by bridging the gap between cutting-edge general AI and the specialized, real-world applications that drive meaningful impact. To pursue this mission, we're building world-class AI infrastructure that not only powers our models on large Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) clusters, but also accelerates our research lifecycle through agentic development. Our team has a global scope, powering the work of every Microsoft Research lab around the world. We're looking for a Senior Principal Engineering Manager to lead and grow our team that builds one of the world's largest research GPU clusters. This is a transformational leadership opportunity. You will grow a talented team of engineers and evolve it into a cohesive, high-performing organization that designs, builds, and operates world-class research compute infrastructure at scale. You will set the vision for how the team works, grows, and delivers, while driving the execution rigor needed to ship complex infrastructure reliably in a highly dynamic environment. If you're passionate about leading teams at the frontier of AI infrastructure and want to shape the future of how research compute is built and operated, we invite you to explore this opportunity.
