Job Description

Do you see yourself as a coach, a collaborator, and a customer-focused engineer? Would you be excited to build the technology that allows us to roll out new code quickly, safely, and measurably to hundreds of thousands of servers? Do you care deeply about fostering a great team? We are looking for an Engineering Manager for the Substrate Change Management team who embraces these roles and is excited by this technology.

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 Substrate Change Management team is building our capabilities to enable feature staging, experimentation, and configuration across hundreds of thousands of machines worldwide. We work closely with the Azure Analysis and Experimentation team and the Office Experimentation teams to build these capabilities. Many of our external customers feel that moving to the cloud is a compromise between losing some level of control in exchange for the ease and reliability of a managed service. Our team is responsible for balancing our customers' desire for a stable and predictable service with our business imperative for a rapid pace of innovation.

We are looking for an Engineering Manager who embraces the cultural values of inclusion and belonging and feels empowered to do the following:

Coach - Work with each person on your team to help them to do their best work and grow. You define and foster an identity for the team that includes a reputation for high quality, reliability, and inclusivity. Define the business goals for the team then create and execute on a plan to meet those goals.

Collaborator - Strive to understand the motivations and goals of the teams we're working with and work towards a better-together collaborative solution.

Customer Focused Engineer - Care deeply about the internal developer experience we are building. You care deeply about the end-user experiences we are building and the availability and reliability of the service that enables those experiences.
