Senior Software Engineer

Build AI-native intelligent operations. Independently apply Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, Large Language Models (LLMs), and generative AI practices across the software development lifecycle to automate and improve how Azure capacity is planned, deployed, and run — taking full ownership of the quality, security, and correctness of AI-assisted designs and code. Own architecture and design. Lead design discussions and own the architecture of solutions in a distributed system, testing design hypotheses, weighing trade-offs, and producing specifications that meet performance, scalability, resiliency, cost, and disaster-recovery requirements. Write and review high-quality code. Produce extensible, maintainable, well-tested, secure, and performant code, and raise the bar for the team through thoughtful, timely code reviews that coach other engineers and drive adherence to best practices. Drive automation and safe deployment. Champion comprehensive automation across production and deployment — targeting zero-touch where possible — and follow safe change-deployment practices, flighting, and rollback plans to minimize customer impact. Ensure reliability and supportability. Integrate logging, telemetry, and monitoring; act as a Designated Responsible Individual (DRI) on an on-call rotation; and lead incident retrospectives that identify root causes and prevent recurrence. Engineer security in apply "security as code" principles so each layer is independently secure, partner with security experts to define invariants and threat models, and ensure AI safety features are implemented for AI production systems. Collaborate across teams. Identify dependencies and work across partner teams to reach shared goals, ensuring end-to-end testing, performance, and escalation pathways are established before going live. Understand customer needs. Partner with product, program, and security stakeholders to confirm requirements, incorporate customer insights into future designs, and advocate for the security and privacy of the people who use what we build.
