Description

Are you a customer-obsessed, AI-curious problem-solver who thrives in an inclusive, collaborative global team? The Azure CXP team’s mission is to transform Microsoft Cloud customers into fans. Through our deep engineering engagements with customers and teams across Microsoft, we analyze and amplify customer needs and drive the vision to improve Cloud quality, security, and reliability. Our culture of growth mindset and empowerment are central to who we are and how we work.

We are customer-obsessed problem-solvers. We orchestrate deep engagements in areas like incident management, support, and enablement. We analyze and amplify those customer voices, both within our own team, and across the Cloud + AI team, bringing the customer connection to the Quality vision for Azure. We innovate ways to scale what we learn across our customer base. Diversity and inclusion are central to who we are, how we work, and what we enable our customers to achieve. We know that empowering our customers starts with empowering our team to show up authentically, work in ways that are best for them, and achieve their career goals. Azure Reliability team is a multidisciplinary engineering organization part of CXP dedicated to making, “Azure the safest and most reliable Cloud”.

Azure Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) teams strive to improve reliability fundamentals via software engineering operational improvement, preferring long-lasting platform improvements delivered as engineering projects over repetitive manual operations. We contribute to the product fundamentals and architecture, share knowledge, and code, and prefer reuse over re-invention, always looking for ways to make what we build useful to multiple teams and products.

We are not looking for people who know it all, we are looking for people who want to learn it all. We value the input of people who aren’t afraid to learn all the time and embrace mistakes as they continuously improve both our services and themselves. If you are excited by this type of challenge and you love to work in groups of people who are similarly excited: come join us!
