If you are an experienced Engineering Manager who thrives on the design and delivery of mega-scale services that impact the lives of hundreds of millions of users every day, then you’ve come to the right place.
The Office 365 Substrate is the name we use to describe the collection of APIs and capabilities that enable internal Microsoft developers to build massively scalable applications which leverage CPU, storage, artificial intelligence and data mining, and much more. We are looking for an amazing candidate to become the Engineering Manager of the team responsible for the REST APIs (and other types, of APIs, too!) that provide access to Substrate content. We need someone who is capable of running a service that handles hundreds of billions of requests per day and who is also capable of leading the design, development, and deployment of the next generation of substrate APIs.
It’s hard to imagine an Engineering Manager role which offers more opportunity for organizational and product impact than this role does. You’ll manage a team of exceptional engineers and you’ll have the opportunity to collaborate with the exceptional extended substrate team which is composed of some of the most outstanding distributed systems engineers in the world. You’ll have direct influence over how we evolve our APIs to support the next generation of services including Enterprise Search, which is an exceptional business and product opportunity for the team.
We are looking for a Principal Engineering Manager to lead this initiative. The ideal candidate will have a blend of technical chops needed to manage, nurture, and lead a high caliber engineering team. Candidates should be adept at applying a wide array of techniques to focus problem solving and building an end to end system. Candidates should have proven background in collaborating with multiple partners and create mutually impactful successes. Candidates should be highly customer obsessed and have a strong drive for high quality. Candidates should also have a proven track record of recruiting great talent and of investing in the growth and development of team members.
