• You will engineer Secure, Multi‑Tenant Systems by Design - develop services and workflows that enforce strong tenant isolation, least‑privileged access, and security‑first patterns aligned with Microsoft’s Secure Future Initiative and enterprise compliance requirements
• You will own End‑to‑End Service Lifecycle Automation - automate the full tenant lifecycle for M365 services from intake and build to change management, operations, and decommissioning to reduce manual effort and accelerate delivery through reliable, repeatable systems
• You will advance Platform Architecture & Reliability - contribute to the evolution of distributed, service‑oriented architectures that support high scale, resiliency, observability, and safe change across hundreds of tenants
• You will integrate AI to Improve Operability and Decision‑Making - apply AI and agent‑based approaches to simplify administration, surface insights, detect anomalies, and enable intelligent self‑service for tenant management and governance
• You will operate what you build - partner in live‑site ownership through telemetry, monitoring, incident response, and continuous improvement to ensure high availability, performance, and trustworthiness of the platform
• You will collaborate across Engineering, Security, and Product Teams - work closely with partner teams across identity, security, M365 workloads, and platform engineering to align on standards, APIs, and shared automation patterns
• You will raise the Engineering Bar - contribute to design reviews, code quality, and technical direction; share best practices in secure automation, distributed systems, and AI‑enabled platforms to elevate team capability and impact
