Overview
The Data Security team’s mission is to building cloud solutions to support premium features that provide security, compliance, data governance, data loss prevention, and more, in a fully integrated manner from services to clients of Office 365 as well as Windows. We create global scale services to transport, store, secure and manage some of the most sensitive data on the planet and build our services on top of Azure, Exchange and other cloud platforms, and our experiences in Office applications like Outlook. The IDC arm of the team is expanding substantially and is looking for talented and highly motivated engineers. This is an excellent opportunity for anyone who has, or wants to build, expertise in cloud distributed systems, or in security and compliance, or both.
Team will be building cloud solutions meeting scales that few companies in the industry are required to support, that leverage state of the art technologies to deliver holistic protection to a planet scale user base. Office 365 is the industry leader in hosted productivity suites and boasts to be the fastest growing business at Microsoft with more than 100 million seats hosted in multiple data centers across the globe. The SCM Engineering team provides leadership, direction and accountability for application architecture, Cloud design, infrastructures development and end to end implementation. You will independently determine and develop architectural approaches and Infrastructure solutions, conduct business reviews, and operate our production services. Strong collaboration skills will be required to work closely with other engineering teams to ensure services/systems are highly stable and performant and meet the expectations of internal and external customers and users.
