Deliver production impact. Take solutions from concept through deployment, adoption, support readiness, and iteration. Balance speed with quality, reliability, ownership, and lifecycle management. Extend low-code with full-stack engineering. Build integrations, APIs, custom connectors, scripts, services, UI components, or backend logic using technologies such as JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, C#, GitHub, Azure, and Microsoft Graph when low-code alone is insufficient. Build agents and AI-powered workflows. Create AI agents and copilots that are grounded in business data, connected to tools and actions, evaluated for quality, and designed with appropriate human-in-the-loop controls. Measure business outcomes. Define success with stakeholders and track adoption, cycle-time reduction, manual effort avoided, quality improvements, user satisfaction, and time to value. Build responsibly and for reuse. Apply security, privacy, responsible AI, access controls, data-loss prevention, testing, monitoring, and application lifecycle management. Create reusable agents, components, templates, and patterns that raise the capability of the broader team. Contribute to a learn-it-all culture. Experiment with emerging AI tools, share demos, document patterns, mentor peers through technical examples, and help the team continuously improve how it builds. Operate as part of a global team. Collaborate across time zones with business leaders, principal-level technical leaders, platform teams, engineering partners, and operational owners to manage dependencies and deliver cohesive solutions. Embody our  culture  and  values   Qualifications Required Qualifications Bachelor's Degree AND 4+ years experience in engineering, product/technical program management, data analysis, or product development OR equivalent experience. 2+ years of experience managing cross-functional and/or cross-team projects.

Passion for AI-assisted development and vibe coding, with demonstrated ability to turn ambiguous ideas into working prototypes and carry them through to product launch, adoption, and iteration. Applied generative AI experience, including grounding, retrieval-augmented generation, agent orchestration, evaluation, prompt design, and human-in-the-loop workflows. Familiarity with Azure AI services, Microsoft Graph, Microsoft 365 extensibility, Teams apps, SharePoint, and enterprise data integration patterns. Experience building full-stack internal tools, workflow applications, dashboards, agents, or automations for enterprise users. Experience redesigning end-to-end business processes and measuring operational improvements. Evidence of technical thought leadership through reusable solutions, demos, communities of practice, internal accelerators, or shared engineering patterns.

Program Manager (CRADA) - CTJ - TS/SCI
Raleigh, NC $223,500 Overview Microsoft is seeking a  Program Manager to serve as the on-site representative of Microsoft engineering to a strategic government partner. The role exists because what matters most in this p Overview Microsoft is seeking a  Program Manager to serve as the on-site representative of Microsoft engineering to a strategic government partner. The role exists because what matters most in this partnership cannot be learned at a distance: what the partner needs and what it will need next surface in hallways, in after-action reviews, and in the ordinary course of a workday spent alongside its people. You will therefore work from the partner's site five days a week, and you will own the rhythm of business that keeps our Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) healthy — coordinating across internal and external stakeholders to schedule, plan, and execute the meetings and decision forums the partnership depends on.  While approximately 95% of the role follows a predictable schedule, there are occasional periods when the organization shifts into crisis-response mode and requires extended support. During these infrequent events, flexibility and a willingness to support mission-critical activities outside of standard working hours are important.    Responsibilities The work follows a straightforward mission: identify partner needs, translate those needs into actionable requirements, and help deliver capabilities that make a real impact.  At any given time, you will guide multiple efforts through that lifecycle, helping each move forward while building trusted relationships across Microsoft and our partner organization.   A significant part of the role focuses on customer requirements discovery. Using a user-centered and human-centered design framework, you will work closely with users to understand their environment, challenges, and goals. Through interviews, structured observation, and day-to-day engagement, you will identify who the users are, how they operate, what capabilities they need, and why those needs matter. You will then translate those insights into clear technical requirements that engineering teams can build against. As you develop a deep understanding of partner priorities, you will maintain a living body of knowledge that helps shape future innovation and informs strategic decision-making. Where a documented requirement meets a partner need, addresses a gap in the market, and draws on a Microsoft core competency, it becomes a candidate for an Individual Work Plan (IWP) — the vehicle through which this partnership turns a requirement into committed, funded work. Beyond requirements discovery, you will help drive a portfolio of IWPs from concept through delivery.  The CRADA governs the broader relationship between Microsoft and the partner; IWPs nest beneath it and define the specific work and its scope. You will run a portfolio of IWPs at once — translating qualified requirements into IWP form, shepherding each through Microsoft's internal approval process, and, once approved, project managing it from creation through completion: standing up execution, sequencing dependencies, tracking progress and risk, and seeing the resulting capability through to delivery and adoption.    Success in this role comes from collaboration. You will work across Microsoft business units, including engineering, legal, trade compliance, finance, and security, to align priorities, remove obstacles, and ensure successful outcomes. You will also play a key role in sustaining the long-term health of the partnership, including leading the CRADA renewal process during its five-year lifecycle.    Communication is woven throughout every aspect of the role. You will synthesize partner feedback, emerging requirements, market opportunities, sources of friction, and urgent needs into clear, actionable insights for executive leaders. Whether communicating through written reports, presentations, or in-person discussions, you will help ensure leaders have the context they need to make informed decisions and respond quickly when priorities evolve.  Done well, this role places you at the center of a unique strategic partnership, where your ability to connect customer needs with Microsoft's expertise directly influences the capabilities we build, the value we deliver, and the strength of a relationship that drives innovation forward. Qualifications Required Qualifications: Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, Math, Business, or related field AND 6+ years experience in engineering, product/technical program management, data analysis, or product development OR equivalent experience.    Other Requirements: Security Clearance Requirements: Candidates must be able to meet Microsoft, customer and/or government security screening requirements are required for this role. These requirements include, but are not limited to the following specialized security screenings:     The successful candidate must have an active U.S. Government Top Secret Clearance with access to Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) . Ability to meet Microsoft, customer and/or government security screening requirements are required pre-offer and post-hire for this role. Failure to maintain or obtain the appropriate U.S. Government clearance and/or customer screening requirements may result in employment action up to and including termination.   Clearance Verification : This position requires successful verification of the stated security clearance to meet federal government customer requirements. You will be asked to provide clearance verification information prior to an offer of employment. Microsoft Cloud Background Check : This position will be required to pass the Microsoft Cloud background check upon hire/transfer and every two years thereafter.    Citizenship & Citizenship Verification:  This position requires verification of U.S. citizenship due to citizenship-based legal restrictions. Specifically, this position supports United States federal, state, and/or local United States government agency customer and is subject to certain citizenship-based restrictions where required or permitted by applicable law. To meet this legal requirement, citizenship will be verified via a valid passport, or other approved documents, or verified US government Clearance .   Preferred Qualifications: Experience supporting or operating within a national security, defense, or special operations environment. Familiarity with defense acquisition pathways and an understanding of how they compare to processes used across the broader defense enterprise and commercial industry. Understanding of the distinct roles and considerations associated with enterprise technology and operational technology environments. Knowledge of the regulations, security practices, and operational norms common within national security and defense organizations. Experience applying user-centered design frameworks in a product engineering environment. Experience designing products, services, or capabilities for extreme users operating at the edge of a product's intended envelope. Ability to apply user insights and operational context to inform product, capability, or solution development.

Senior Business Manager - AI Experiences
Redmond, WA $169,750 Overview About the Team   Microsoft AI Experiences (AIX) builds the end-user AI experience at Microsoft, spanning Copilot, Search, Browser, Content, Commerce, and Monetization. AIX is roughly 7,000 p Overview About the Team   Microsoft AI Experiences (AIX) builds the end-user AI experience at Microsoft, spanning Copilot, Search, Browser, Content, Commerce, and Monetization. AIX is roughly 7,000 people working from core hubs in Redmond, Mountain View, and New York City, engineering centers across India and China, and established teams in Vancouver, San Francisco, Barcelona, Cairo, and other locations. The organization moves quickly and ships on a fast, high-visibility rhythm.   AIX Ops keeps the organization running so the team can stay focused on building great products. We are a small, fast-moving team that supports each other, operates with integrity and inclusivity, and makes decisions based on evidence rather than opinion. Every day looks a little different, and the work has real and immediate impact on how a 7,000-person organization plans, hires, and spends.   Microsoft's mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.   About the Role   We are seeking a strategic and operationally rigorous Senior Business Manager to lead PCN governance, workforce planning, and organizational management for AI Experiences. This role ensures disciplined headcount management, healthy organizational design, reliable hiring execution, and workforce plans that stay aligned to business priorities and financial commitments.   Just as important, this role looks beyond its own scope. The right person spots the operational problems that slow the whole organization down, frames them into projects worth doing, and leads those projects to a result that other teams adopt. If you are entrepreneurial, grounded, and hard-working, you will fit right in.   The ideal candidate combines strong business acumen with exceptional attention to detail and the ability to influence across Finance, HR, Recruiting, and executive leadership. This individual thrives in fast-paced environments, drives complex cross-functional processes, and enables leaders to make informed organizational decisions through data-driven insight.   Responsibilities PCN Governance and Headcount Management   Own end-to-end governance of Position Control Numbers (PCNs) across the organization, including creation, allocation, transfer, and closure.   Review and approve organizational changes that affect PCNs, reporting structures, and workforce allocations.   Partner with Finance, HR, Recruiting, and Business Management to manage workforce investments and hiring plans against budget commitments.   Monitor PCN utilization , vacancy rates, hiring velocity, and organizational capacity, and flag risks to leadership early.   Maintain data accuracy across workforce management systems so that leaders can trust the numbers they are given.   Workforce Planning and Organizational Insight   Build and maintain the headcount, hiring, attrition, and budget-utilization views that managers use to run their teams.   Translate workforce data into clear recommendations for leaders, not just reports, so that organizational decisions are grounded in evidence.   Support planning cycles end to end, from target setting through allocation, reconciliation, and in-year adjustments.   Design scalable governance frameworks for organizational planning that hold up as the business grows and reorganizes.   Identifying and Leading Organization-Wide Projects   This role is expected to look up from its own scope and improve how AIX operates as a whole. Much of the high-value work in AIX Ops is not assigned; it is noticed. We want someone who sees the recurring friction in how the organization plans, hires, spends, and reports, sizes the opportunity, and then leads the work to fix it.   Identify operational gaps, redundant processes, and unmet needs across the organization, and turn them into clearly scoped, business-justified project proposals.   Prioritize candidate projects against organizational impact and operationalize the project to completion.   Lead cross-functional initiatives end to end with Finance, HR, Recruiting, and Engineering partners, owning the plan, the milestones, and the outcome.   Influence without authority across teams that do not report to this role, building the coalition needed to move a change through a large, matrixed organization.   Define success measures up front, track them through delivery, and report results to leadership with the same rigor applied to headcount and budget.   Drive adoption and handoff so that improvements outlive the project, including documentation, training, and a clear owner for ongoing operation.   Share what works across AIX Ops and neighboring organizations, scaling solutions.   Process Excellence and Compliance   Establish governance processes and controls that keep the organization compliant with company policy and budget commitments.   Ensure compliance with internal controls, audit requirements, and workforce governance policies.   Drive continuous improvement that simplifies workforce planning and removes manual steps wherever automation or better tooling can carry the load.   Coordinate cross-functional execution across HR, Finance, Recruiting, Legal, and Operations partners.   Qualifications Required Qualifications   Bachelor's Degree in relevant field (e.g., Finance, Business Administration, Operations, Human Resources) AND 6+ years experience in financial management, business planning, operations management, strategy, project management, human resources, or business-related roles OR equivalent experience. Preferred Qualifications   Master's Degree in relevant field (e.g., Finance, Business Administration, Operations, Human Resources) AND 8 + years of experience in business management, workforce planning, finance, HR operations, or organizational management.   Experience managing headcount planning, workforce investments, or organizational governance programs.   Experience supporting C-suite executives or senior leadership teams.   Strong analytical and financial modeling skills, with advanced proficiency in Excel, Power BI, and workforce planning tools.   Knowledge of corporate workforce planning and position management processes.   Experience working within large, matrixed organizations, and a proven ability to influence without authority across multiple stakeholder groups.   Experience leading organizational planning during periods of rapid growth or transformation.   Track record of building a process, tool, or reporting solution that was adopted beyond the team that created it.   Demonstrated experience identifying an operational problem independently and leading a cross-functional project from proposal through adoption.   Business Management IC5 - The typical base pay range for this role across the U.S. is USD $116,900 - $203,600 per year.

Principal Product Manager
Redmond, WA $248,400 Overview M365 Core Platform | United States  Shape the platform & infrastructure strategy behind M365 and Copilot. This role takes on the hardest technical and strategic problems spanning storage Overview M365 Core Platform | United States  Shape the platform & infrastructure strategy behind M365 and Copilot. This role takes on the hardest technical and strategic problems spanning storage, performance and scale, fleet and capacity, and LLM infrastructure, connecting decisions across the stack into a coherent platform strategy.  The M365 Core Platform team is hiring a Principal Product Manager to lead high-impact initiatives across Storage Fabric, Performance & Scale, Fleet & Capacity, and LLM API. This is a broad role for someone who can move fluidly across these systems, go deep quickly, and drive problems that do not fit neatly within a single team.  AI is changing how infrastructure needs to be built and operated. Demand moves at software speed while physical capacity moves at infrastructure speed. Models, hardware, and workloads change continuously. Storage, compute, GPUs, routing, caching, reliability, efficiency, and product policy are increasingly interconnected.  As a Principal Product Manager, you will take on a small number of the organization's highest-impact strategic problems at a time. You will develop the technical and product thesis, understand the system and its constraints, identify architectural choices and tradeoffs, align teams around a direction, and drive the work to measurable customer, capacity, performance, or efficiency outcomes.  This is an AI-first product management role. You will use AI agents, automation, data analysis, and rapid prototyping to investigate problems, test hypotheses, model tradeoffs, and accelerate decisions. The role requires systems thinking, technical depth, product judgment, and the ability to operate with significant ambiguity and autonomy.  Microsoft's mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond. Responsibilities Lead strategic and technical initiatives spanning Storage Fabric, Performance & Scale, Fleet & Capacity, and LLM API, particularly where solutions require changes across multiple layers of the platform. Take ambiguous, high-impact infrastructure problems from first principles through strategy, architecture, roadmap, execution, and measurable results. Develop a system-level view of how storage, compute, GPU capacity, models, inference infrastructure, routing, caching, reliability, and product policy interact, and identify opportunities across organizational boundaries. Shape how M365 and Copilot scale, including workload portability, infrastructure utilization, capacity allocation, and reducing resources required per customer outcome. Connect demand, supply, workload characteristics, model efficiency, infrastructure efficiency, and economics to drive capacity and investment decisions. Identify architectural simplifications and platform investments that remove structural bottlenecks rather than repeatedly solving individual performance, capacity, or reliability problems. Use telemetry, experimentation, modeling, and AI-driven analysis to quantify opportunities, test hypotheses, and measure outcomes. Anticipate changes in models, hardware, workloads, and AI architectures and translate them into platform requirements and investment priorities. Work across engineering leaders, architects, product teams, and infrastructure organizations to establish direction and drive complex initiatives through execution. Define success metrics and communicate complex technical and economic tradeoffs to senior leaders in a way that enables decisions. Mentor PMs and technical leaders and raise the organization's ability to reason about infrastructure as an interconnected system.  Qualifications Required Qualifications: Bachelor's Degree AND 10+ years experience in product/service/program management or software development OR equivalent experience. Other Requirements: Ability to meet Microsoft, customer and/or government security screening requirements are required for this role. These requirements include but are not limited to the following specialized security screenings: Microsoft Cloud Background Check: This position will be required to pass the Microsoft Cloud background check upon hire/transfer and every two years thereafter.   Preferred Qualifications: Bachelor's Degree AND 15+ years experience in product/service/program management or software development OR equivalent experience. 6+ years experience taking a product, feature, or experience to market (e.g., design, addressing product market fit, and launch, internal tool/framework). 8+ years experience improving product metrics for a product, feature, or experience in a market (e.g., growing customer base, expanding customer usage, avoiding customer churn). 8+ years experience disrupting a market for a product, feature, or experience (e.g., competitive disruption, taking the place of an established competing product). Experience leading ambiguous, high-stakes technical initiatives spanning multiple engineering organizations and technology layers. Technical depth in cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, storage, compute, AI infrastructure, or large-scale online services, with the ability to reason across the broader stack. Experience defining platform architecture, technical strategy, or multi-year investment direction for large-scale infrastructure. Experience with LLM inference, model serving, GPU infrastructure, routing, caching, capacity management, storage, fleet management, performance engineering, or resource optimization. Demonstrated ability to use telemetry, experiments, workload data, and economic models to guide technical and investment decisions. A record of improving performance, scalability, reliability, infrastructure efficiency, capacity utilization, or cost through product or technical leadership.  AI fluency, including using AI agents, automation, and prototyping to accelerate analysis, technical exploration, and product work. Solid systems thinking and the ability to develop a technical point of view from incomplete information, pressure-test it, and drive an organization toward decisions. Exceptional cross-organizational leadership and executive communication skills, with the ability to influence senior technical and business leaders without direct authority.  #Microsoft #ProductManagement #PrincipalProductManager #AIInfrastructure #CloudPlatform #DistributedSystems #Storage #Performance #Capacity #LLM #Copilot #M365 #Hyperscale #M365Core Product Management IC6 - The typical base pay range for this role across the U.S. is USD $165,600 - $296,400 per year.

Oct 01 Financial Analysis
Finance Manager, Financial Planning & Analysis
Redmond, WA $123,850 Overview Corporate Services Finance (CSF) provides financial planning, analysis, and controllership support for Corporate Functions (Corporate, External and Legal Affairs (CELA), Finance, Human Resou Overview Corporate Services Finance (CSF) provides financial planning, analysis, and controllership support for Corporate Functions (Corporate, External and Legal Affairs (CELA), Finance, Human Resources (HR), and Microsoft Office of Strategy and Transformation (MOST)). The CSF team is responsible for P&L (profit & loss) management, decision support, and financial stewardship of $12B in annual global expenses. We partner with leaders across Corporate Functions to enable transformation and optimize resources.   We're looking for a Finance Manager, Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A), to join our central CSF FP&A team in a high-visibility analytical role at the center of how CSF plans, forecasts, and governs it's spend. You'll own several core processes outright - OPEX (Operating Expenses) forecast support, people cost and headcount analytics, allocated Azure, and non-GWS CAPEX (Capital Expenditure) forecasting - and you'll be the person who turns those numbers into the insights that shape resource decisions across Corporate Functions.   This role will provide you with exposure to the full FP&A cycle, controllers across every Corporate Function, and executive-level reporting, and you'll have real room to redesign the processes you inherit. We're not looking for someone to run the model as it exists today. We're looking for someone who will make it better, faster, and smarter, including by putting AI (artificial intelligence) and automation to work.   What success looks like: Owns their processes outright. Controllers and partners come to you directly for allocated Azure, CAPEX, and people cost questions — and trust the answer. Moves from reporting to insight. Your analysis doesn't just show what happened to people cost; it explains the drivers, flags the risk, and recommends the action. Leaves the process better than they found it. At least one of the processes you inherit is materially faster, more standardized, or automated by year end — and you drove it. Build credibility across the function. You communicate clearly with controllers, finance leaders, and non-finance partners, and adjust the message to the audience. Is a resource, not a silo. When the team is under pressure during close, forecast, or planning, you're someone people want on the problem.   Attributes we are looking for:  Highly analytical, with structured thinking and solid attention to detail. Energized, genuine curiosity, and a growth mindset — you ask why, and you keep learning. Self-starter who operates well with ambiguity and doesn't wait to be told what to analyze. Solid communication skills with the ability to make complex financial data land with a non-finance audience. Collaborative and flexible — works well across teams and steps up on shared priorities.   At Microsoft, our mission—to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more—guides how we partner with customers to deliver trusted, impactful solutions. With a growth mindset culture, we innovate responsibly and measure success by shared progress—people, teams, and customers. Join us to do meaningful work that changes the world and helps shape what’s next for everyone. Responsibilities OPEX forecast and close support. Support the CSF forecast and close cycles end to end — assumption validation, variance analysis, data integrity checks, and the analysis that feeds our close and forecast decks. Partner with controllers to make sure submissions are accurate, well-understood, and land on time. People cost analytics. Own analysis of the largest driver of CSF spend. Evaluate key people cost drivers, build and maintain cost-per-head views by geography, role type, and level, and explain what's moving and why across payroll, stock compensation, signing bonuses, and relocation. Organizational hygiene and headcount insights. Analyze organizational shape across CSF — pyramid, span of control, organization depth — and translate that into insight leaders can act on. Bring the "so what" to headcount trends, hiring activity, and the drivers behind people spend. Allocated Azure and Non-GWS CAPEX. Own the allocated Azure forecast and the non-GWS CAPEX forecast for G&A (General & Administrative) functions across CSF, including actuals review, variance explanation, and forward-looking outlook. Process improvement and automation. Bring a modernization mindset to everything you touch. Identify where reporting and analysis can be standardized, automated, or AI-enabled, and lead those improvements — partnering with our tools and engineering partners where the solution is more complex. Flexible team support. Support the broader central FP&A team on ad hoc analysis and special projects. This team moves, priorities shift, and the people who thrive here lean in where they're needed. Embody our culture  and  values Qualifications Required/Minimum Qualifications Master's Degree in Business Administration, Accounting, Finance, Economics, Data Science or related field OR Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration, Accounting, Finance, Economics, Data Science or related field AND 2+ years experience in financial analysis, accounting, controllership, finance, or related field OR equivalent experience.   Additional or Preferred Qualifications Masters Degree in Business Administration, Accounting, Finance, Economics, Data Science or related field AND 3+ years of post-graduate financial analysis, accounting, controllership or finance work experience OR Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Accounting, Finance, Economics, Data Science or related field AND 5+ years of post-graduate financial analysis, accounting, controllership or finance work experience OR equivalent experience. Solid Microsoft Excel modeling skills, with working knowledge of modern analytics tools (Power BI, Power Query/PowerPivot, or similar). Demonstrated interest or hands-on experience applying AI and automation to finance processes - building agents, automating reporting, or eliminating manual steps. Experience with headcount, people cost, or workforce analytics. Experience in a matrixed, multinational organization, or in the technology or software industry. Experience with enterprise planning and reporting systems.   #Finance Financial Analysis IC3 - The typical base pay range for this role across the U.S. is USD $77,800 - $153,700 per year.

You’ll also drive collaboration between teams and maintain the portfolio hygiene that lets the business scale without operational drift. You will provide deep expertise to conduct cost-benefit analyses and capture, analyze, and report defensible, quantifiable business results traceable to customer impact, instrumenting return-on-investment frameworks so performance stays observable. You’ll also optimize the use of data analytics to derive insights and identify risks and opportunities, steward the close-out loop so impact is sustained and handed over after delivery, and drive material capability uplift through AI as you influence change management processes in the organization.

The Windows Engineering System is the backbone that lets Windows engineers design, code, build, validate, and ship at massive scale, securely and with high quality.  Debugging is central to that quality bar: when something breaks deep in the operating system, a driver, or the kernel, our debugging tools are what let engineers find the root cause and fix it fast. This team builds the debuggers, kernel-debugging transports, and time-travel technologies that make Windows diagnosable end to end, relied on every day by Microsoft engineers, hardware partners, and the broader developer community.  As a Senior Software Engineer , you will design and develop core debugging technologies, including the Windows debugger and its underlying engine (WinDbg and DbgEng), kernel-mode debugging transports such as KDNET, and Time Travel Debugging (TTD), which records a program's execution so engineers can replay it both forwards and backwards to pinpoint the root cause of the toughest defects. You will work across Windows and Linux and across x64 and ARM64, writing the systems-level code that engineers everywhere depend on to diagnose crashes, hangs, and correctness bugs at the deepest layers of the stack. You will own significant components end to end, designing, implementing, and hardening them for reliability, performance, and security across a broad range of hardware, collaborate closely with product, kernel, silicon, and partner teams to bring up debugging on new architectures and platforms, and help advance AI-assisted debugging so engineers can find answers faster. Your technical depth, solid engineering judgment, and ability to reason about complex systems will be essential to keeping Microsoft's debugging tools the best in the industry.  Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond. Responsibilities Core Debugging Technology Development  Design, implement, and maintain core debugging technologies spanning the debugger engine (WinDbg and DbgEng), kernel-mode debugging transports (KDNET), and time-travel record and replay (TTD).  Own major components end to end, from architecture through implementation, testing, and long-term servicing.  Build the extensibility and APIs that let partner teams and the community extend the debugger.  Cross-Platform and Hardware Bring-Up  Bring up and validate debugging on new hardware, architectures (x64 and ARM64), and platforms (Windows and Linux).  Partner across product, kernel, silicon, and OEM teams to bring up debugging on new architectures and platforms and to meet the needs of a diverse user base.  Deep Systems Diagnosis and Quality  Diagnose and resolve deep systems-level defects (crashes, hangs, memory, and concurrency issues) in both user-mode and kernel-mode code.  Improve the reliability, performance, and security of debugging tools that are used at massive scale.  Uphold a high quality bar through thoughtful design, code reviews, testing, and engineering best practices.  AI-Assisted Debugging and Technical Leadership  Advance AI-assisted debugging capabilities that help engineers reach root cause faster.  Mentor other engineers and raise the technical bar across the team.  Qualifications Required/Minimum Qualifications: Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or related technical field AND 4+ years technical engineering experience with coding in languages including, but not limited to, C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, or Python. OR equivalent experience. Additional or preferred qualifications Other Requirements:  Ability to meet Microsoft, customer and/or government security screening requirements are required for this role. These requirements include but are not limited to the following specialized security screenings: Microsoft Cloud Background Check: This position will be required to pass the Microsoft Cloud background check upon hire/transfer and every two years thereafter.  Preferred Qualifications: Master's Degree in Computer Science or related technical field AND 6+ years technical engineering experience. OR Bachelor's Degree AND 8+ years technical engineering experience. OR equivalent experience.  Experience building debuggers, debugger engines, or debugging tools for systems-level code.  Experience with kernel-mode development or operating-system internals on Windows or Linux.  Familiarity with cross-architecture development across x64 and ARM64.  Experience with tracing, record/replay, or reverse-debugging technologies.  Experience improving the reliability, performance, and security of software at scale.  Self-driven and passionate about developer productivity, with excellent communication skills and customer-oriented problem-solving abilities.  Proven track record of delivering large-scale, systems-level software across multiple teams and technologies.  Experience diagnosing and resolving complex defects in low-level software such as operating systems, kernels, drivers, firmware, or debuggers.       #W+DJOBS #windowses #esjobs Software Engineering IC4 - The typical base pay range for this role across the U.S. is USD $119,800 - $234,700 per year.

We are looking for a  Senior Product Marketing Manager to own how that guidance reaches its audience. You will build the layer that sits above the source material: the ebooks, technical papers, blogs, and video programming that take guidance spread across dozens of articles and turn it into something a practitioner can follow end to end. You will also host and produce our flagship Azure technical video series, a catalog of more than 220 episodes reaching developers, IT decision makers, and business decision makers. This role asks you to be genuinely technical and genuinely a marketer. You will write deep technical content yourself, working alongside subject matter experts rather than briefing them from a distance, and you will hold your own in architecture conversations with cloud solution architects, product teams, and engineering leaders. You will also own the campaign mechanics that carry the work: channel strategy, integrated marketing, measurement, and the vendor and production partners who help you scale. The portfolio is active and growing. A multi-part technical masterclass series is in production, the video show is moving to a fully produced format, and in-product and agent-driven guidance experiences are being built with engineering.

Identify and recruit the subject matter experts who appear, shape the topic slate, and carry a technical conversation on camera without a script. Direct the program manager, subject matter experts, and production partners behind a multi-part technical masterclass series, and stay accountable for the land: getting the right material into the right channels in front of the right audience. Design and run mid-funnel campaigns that move a technical audience from awareness to action across owned channels, community, social, and field motions. Land guidance through integrated marketing, customer success teams, technical workshops, and partner channels. Own the public web presence for Azure guidance, including refreshes to the landing experience and the metrics that show whether people are finding and using what is published there. Shape in-product and agent-driven guidance experiences with engineering and product teams, and build a prioritized backlog that links each customer task to its authoritative source and to the surface that delivers it. Manage lifecycle communications for published guidance, including deprecation, end-of-life, and archive notices. Coordinate messaging with adjacent product marketing teams so guidance stays consistent across the portfolio. Brief and prepare the speakers who represent this guidance externally.
