Microsoft is experiencing unprecedented cloud growth, and the Cloud Operations + Innovations organization (CO+I) builds and maintains the datacenters Microsoft uses worldwide.

Automation is key to sustain this growth, and our team specializes in using both conventional Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) techniques and Large Language Model (LLM) to achieve a level of automation that would not be attainable with more traditional software engineering. These intelligent systems work across multiple specializations in the datacenter space. For example, they empower technicians in datacenters to service computers more rapidly and with greater accuracy and greater impact using the collective intelligence of other technicians worldwide.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will specialize in creating user interfaces primarily using React and Typescript to create AI assistants and automated workflows. You will also have opportunities to work on the back end where we use combinations of LLM's, Python, C#, Numpy, Pandas, TensorFlow, Kubernetes, Azure, web services, Linux, databases, vector databases, and other cloud technologies and libraries. You will collaborate with data scientists, customers, other engineering teams and datacenter personnel to create integrated systems that accelerate the business and delight users. This is a flexible work opportunity offering up to 100% work from home.

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.

In alignment with our Microsoft values, we are committed to cultivating an inclusive work environment for all employees to positively impact our culture every day
