  • Creates and implements code for a product, service, or feature, reusing code as applicable with minimal supervision
  • Proactively validates assumptions using debugging, testing, logging, and telemetry
  • Leads incident retrospectives to identify root causes, implement fixes, and prevent recurrence
  • Investigates issues while maintaining privacy and security, with minimal supervision
  • Collaborates with partner teams to integrate features end to end, ensuring testing, livesite readiness, security, scalability and performance with minimal supervision
  • Maintains secure live site operations through on call rotations, rapidly mitigating issues with least privilege access
  • Improves reliability by strengthening troubleshooting guides, telemetry, automation, and escalating issues appropriately

Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science or related technical field
  • 2+ years of technical engineering experience with coding in languages including, but not limited to: C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Python or equivalent experience
  • Ability to meet Microsoft, customer, and/or government security screening requirements
  • Passing the Microsoft Cloud background check upon hire/transfer and every two years thereafter
