Job Description

Do you describe yourself as an explorer, builder, or teacher who thinks differently and has a technical background as a software developer, data scientist, or other technical discipline? We are looking for engineers and data scientists who embrace these roles and who want to work together to help found a new team called the Special Projects and Resources Team (SPARTANs) in M365 Core Platform, also known as Substrate.

Substrate is the data and intelligence platform that enables internal partner teams at Microsoft to build, deploy, and maintain compliant productivity apps and services with reduced effort and faster time to market. The purpose of the SPARTANs team is to tackle 3- to 6-month long strategic projects across Substrate that will be directly approved by the VP and are highly visible. With companies like Google, Facebook, Apple, and Amazon all working hard to deliver capabilities in this space, the need to deliver strategic projects is critical to our success.  SPARTANs will help us move faster and make large impacts to our credibility and brand in the industry.

We are looking for SPARTAN team members who are excited about making important technical contributions and who can see themselves in or growing into one or more of the following roles. You are an explorer who is excited about the opportunity to learn new code, meet other teams, and enable new customer scenarios. You have an approach for quickly gaining expertise and confidence working in new code bases. You are a builder who loves to build clean and testable code, strong working relationships, helpful documentation. You want to help create an effective team. You are learning how to architect adaptable and reliable solutions within constraints. You want to create a reputation of excellence for your team. You are inclusive. It is important to you that everyone on the team feel like they belong. You listen well and you speak openly. You have empathy and curiosity.

You are a teacher who shares what they know with others. You want to help mentor and develop a team. You want to work closely with the rest of the founding team members to develop curriculum to train those who join us later and the approach for how we will work with our partner teams as we deliver projects in partner team areas. You are open to growing by sometimes making mistakes and breaking things you wish you had not. You are open to applying a growth mindset to those experiences to make your engineering or data science more reliable and resilient.
