By shaping next-generation capabilities and driving strategic advancements, this position will redefine how we deliver value at scale—setting new benchmarks for efficiency, resilience, and customer impact."
Responsibilities
Architectural Leadership Leads architectural discussions and owns the architecture of products and solutions, creating proposals by testing design hypotheses and developing complex specifications. AI copilots and design assistants help evaluate multiple design options, simulate outcomes, and outline strengths and weaknesses for complex scenarios. Collaborates with architects and engineers to generate and refine design documentation, align with user stories, and integrate emerging technologies. AI-driven analytics provide insights from technical investigations, support data-driven decision-making, and ensure that system architecture meets performance, scalability, resiliency, cost, disaster recovery, and compliance requirements. Coaches engineers on building extensible solutions and recommend reusable patterns. Regularly reviews designs and architectures within and across teams, using AI to surface improvement opportunities and ensure alignment with Microsoft’s standards for security, privacy, and compliance.
Modernization and Cross-Functional CollaborationModernizes large-scale, time-sensitive data processing systems where precision and reliability are critical. AI-driven solutions automate the migration and integration of legacy systems, streamline balance management, and advance commerce technologies. AI agents facilitate seamless cross-service integrations, automate routine workflows, and enable predictive maintenance, reducing downtime and operational costs. Collaborates in agile, cross-functional environments, leveraging AI to accelerate innovation, improve usability, and ensure compliance with evolving standards.
Security Engineering Applies advanced security best practices and establishes code invariants to model “security as code,” ensuring each system layer is independently secure and risk is minimized. AI-driven tools automate code reviews, enforce security standards, and integrate deployment gates and scanners to prevent regressions and vulnerabilities with customer impact. AI-powered monitoring systems provide real-time detection of violations and anomalous behavior, enabling rapid response to emerging threats. Collaborates with security partners to define security promises and invariants, leveraging AI for threat modeling, attacker simulation, and telemetry analysis. Validate upstream and downstream assumptions, conducting postmortems, and incident response processes—including automated impact analysis and containment.
Operational Excellence and AI-Driven Incident ManagementProactively verifies code assumptions using known debugging tools, tests, logs, and telemetry. Build workflows that continuously monitor production environments, detect anomalies, and trigger early warnings before issues escalate. Conducts incident retrospectives with AI support to identify root causes, implement repair actions, and establish mechanisms to prevent recurrence. Maintains live site operations by responding rapidly to issues, with AI copilots assisting in triage, mitigation, and escalation. Documents incident postmortems, improves troubleshooting guides, and enhances observability and monitoring. Identifies and proposes automation opportunities and best practices to improve the live site experience, ensuring secure operations and integration with investigation activities.
