We’re looking for a Service Engineer who blends operational rigor with analytical insight to strengthen the reliability and performance of Microsoft services. This role focuses on turning service telemetry, incident data, and system signals into operational clarity and action. You’ll drive improvements across service health, incident management, and automation, partnering closely with engineering and operations to make data-informed decisions that scale reliability across complex systems.

Partner with Azure service teams to share insights, coordinate incident response actions, and ensure customer and operational needs are met. Apply data analytics to detect anomalies, uncover root causes, and drive improvements in service reliability and performance. Drive continuous improvement by integrating learnings from live site events and customer feedback into service design, monitoring, and incident management frameworks. Bring an engineering mindset to data operations—balancing agility, scalability, and technical excellence to solve operational challenges.
