Overview

The Azure Core New Tech team is seeking lead engineers who are eager to help with the New Technology onboarding process: automating how new hardware is verified, managed, and delivered to Microsoft datacenters for Azure, High-Performance Computing, Office, and Edge Computing products within Microsoft.

The team works at the interface of software and hardware. The team creates technology to validate, onboard and manage the hardware throughout its lifespan (from arrival to disposal), track the hardware metadata, and ensure the quality and security of hardware when it reaches Microsoft datacenters. It supports the expansion of all capacity for Microsoft services and is at the leading edge of new hardware platforms coming to the cloud. The team is focused on automating the management and tracking the process of New Technology onboarding to bring new and innovative technologies to market faster.

In Azure Core New Tech team, your role as a Software Engineering Lead will be to build and lead the team in understanding requirements, creating designs, and implementing the features needed to enable new technologies. This opportunity will let you grow your skills in software and hardware by collaborating with various Azure teams, learning about the emerging technologies in the industry and bring change to Azure.

The team provides a flexible working environment that enables both hands-on opportunities with hardware and hybrid work contributions.

Microsoft's mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.
