Junior Microsoft 365 Platform Engineer

what you'll do

As part of the M365 Chapter, you will contribute to the platform that enables colleagues to collaborate and work more efficiently. Microsoft 365 is a strategic platform within HEMA, and we are building a team that designs, builds, and improves solutions instead of only solving tickets. You will learn how our platform and Chapter services work: services and automations that monitor platform health, detect deviations, and perform controlled actions across Microsoft 365.You will start with well-defined components that follow existing patterns, working from a backlog, and with guidance from your more experienced colleagues. You build and maintain these components, add tests and documentation, and deliver your work through Git and pull requests. You take part in incidents, support root-cause analyses, spot manual processes that can be automated, and work with stakeholders under guidance. As you develop, you will increasingly pick up bounded engineering tasks independently, for example implementing a Microsoft Graph call, adding tests, and delivering the change through a pull request.The Chapter is on its way from a mainly operational team to an engineering-driven platform team, with an ambition of roughly 60% engineering and a maximum of 40% operations. Today's operations still take a large share of our time, so you will see the day-to-day reality, and you will help us improve it.We are not looking for a junior administrator who only handles standard tickets and manual tasks. We are looking for engineering talent that wants to learn, build, and grow with us.
