AI‑Native Development & Coding Excellence:

• Independently applies AI tools and practices across the software development lifecycle (SDLC) in a disciplined and accountable manner, taking ownership of AI‑generated requirements, designs, code, and other assets while helping teammates do the same.
• Uses engineering health metrics and frameworks (e.g., Accelerate, SPACE, ESSP) to continuously improve processes, particularly those involving AI.
• Leads by example in producing secure, extensible, maintainable, and well‑tested code, applies modern coding patterns (including GenAI‑assisted approaches), and drives timely, high‑quality code reviews that consider diagnosability, reliability, testability, performance, and compliance.

Design, Architecture & Test Strategy:

• Owns and drives solution design and architecture for complex products or subsystems, evaluating multiple design options and clearly articulating trade‑offs.
• Creates clear, comprehensive test strategies that prevent regressions, incorporate security testing, and improve test reliability, speed, and coverage, leveraging AI tools for test automation where appropriate.
• Identifies dependencies across teams and systems, collaborates to resolve ownership and integration challenges, and ensures designs meet requirements for performance, scalability, resiliency, cost, disaster recovery, security, privacy, and compliance.

Engineering Excellence, Security & Compliance:

• Applies best practices and secure design principles to build and scale products that meet customer, performance, and security commitments.
• Drives automation across build, deployment, and production workflows, targeting zero‑touch deployment where possible.
• Establishes strong security invariants and “security as code” practices, including threat modeling, monitoring, deployment gates, and incident response readiness, while maintaining awareness of regulatory and compliance requirements and ensuring visible evidence of adherence.

Implementation, Reliability & Customer Focus:

• Leverages subject‑matter expertise to plan and execute projects end‑to‑end, breaking work into actionable roadmaps, driving experimentation through feature flags and metrics, and ensuring safe, efficient deployments.
• Builds robust observability through logging, telemetry, dashboards, and alerts, acts as a DRI for live‑site health, and leads incident response and postmortems to reduce recurrence.
• Collaborates closely with product, security, and customer‑facing stakeholders to understand user requirements, incorporate feedback loops, and continuously improve product quality, reliability, and customer value.

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.

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 with coding in languages including, but not limited to, C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, or Python.
  • OR Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or related technical field AND 8+ years technical engineering experience with coding in languages including, but not limited to, C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, or Python.
  • OR equivalent experience.
• Experience building web applications using the Angular framework, including developing reusable, Angular-based UI controls; strong experience with HTML and JavaScript development; proficiency in C#, C++, .NET, or Java; solid understanding of data structures and algorithms; deep functional knowledge or hands-on design experience with web services such as REST and SOAP; demonstrated ability to drive technical investigations and prototyping in a fast-paced environment; and strong verbal and written communication skills.
