Microsoft is hiring a Principal Software Engineer to lead the development of cloud infrastructure solutions. You'll work with technologies like Azure, C#, and Java to optimize and manage Microsoft's Intelligent Cloud mission. This role requires extensive experience in software development and cloud technologies.
You have a strong background in software engineering with over 10 years of experience in designing and implementing large-scale systems — you've led projects from conception to deployment and have a proven track record of delivering high-quality software solutions. Your expertise in cloud technologies, particularly Azure, allows you to effectively contribute to the development of innovative infrastructure solutions that support Microsoft's cloud services.
You possess deep knowledge of programming languages such as C#, Java, and Python — your coding skills are complemented by your ability to architect scalable systems that meet the demands of a global user base. You understand the intricacies of cloud infrastructure and are adept at optimizing performance and reliability.
Your experience includes working in cross-functional teams, collaborating with product managers, designers, and other engineers to deliver customer-focused solutions — you thrive in environments where you can mentor junior engineers and share your knowledge to foster a culture of continuous improvement.
You are passionate about leveraging technology to solve complex problems and improve operational efficiency — your analytical mindset enables you to identify opportunities for innovation and implement effective solutions that drive business success.
Experience with DevOps practices and tools is a plus, as you understand the importance of continuous integration and deployment in modern software development — familiarity with containerization technologies like Docker and orchestration tools like Kubernetes will enhance your contributions to the team.
As a Principal Software Engineer at Microsoft, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of cloud infrastructure — you will lead the design and implementation of systems that power Microsoft's Intelligent Cloud mission, ensuring they are scalable, reliable, and secure. Your responsibilities will include defining technical standards and best practices for software development, as well as driving the adoption of new technologies that enhance the capabilities of the cloud platform.
You will collaborate closely with other engineering teams to integrate new features and improvements into existing systems — your ability to communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders will be essential in aligning project goals with business objectives. You will also be responsible for conducting code reviews and providing constructive feedback to ensure high-quality code is maintained across the team.
In this role, you will have the opportunity to mentor and guide junior engineers, helping them develop their skills and advance their careers — you will foster a collaborative environment where innovation is encouraged, and team members feel empowered to contribute their ideas.
