This role demands a visionary who can balance speed with reliability, ensuring seamless performance at global scale while mentoring teams and influencing product direction. If you thrive on innovation, automation, and building systems that empower agility, this is your opportunity to lead from the front. You will work closely with world-class principal and partner engineers and leaders, for a product that is at the epicenter of Microsoft.
