The service applies centralized policy, monitoring, automated remediation, lifecycle governance, and cost controls to reduce production-tenant exposure, limit shadow IT, and preserve delivery agility.\nWe are seeking a Software Engineer to design, build, and operate automated control solutions that enforce security and governance requirements across this environment. You will translate SFI, Azure Tenant Baseline, Entra, privacy, and business requirements into scalable policies, automations, telemetry, and remediation workflows.\nThis is a hands-on individual contributor role that combines software engineering, cloud security, operational judgment, and cross-functional leadership. You will partner with security architects, service owners, support teams, and business stakeholders to improve control effectiveness, reduce manual effort, and strengthen the resilience of the managed environment.\nResponsibilities\nEngineer cloud controls: Design and develop reusable Azure Policy definitions, policy initiatives, automation, and remediation workflows that enforce security and governance requirements across managed tenants and subscriptions.\nLead control implementation: Assess new SFI, Azure Tenant Baseline, Entra, privacy, and internal control requirements; determine affected resources and control gaps; and lead architecture, implementation, validation, and rollout.\nBuild compliance by design: Embed secure defaults, configuration standards, monitoring, and automated remediation into provisioning and lifecycle processes so compliance is consistent and scalable.\nOwn engineering quality: Establish design standards, code-review practices, testing, release controls, documentation, and operational readiness for cloud-control solutions.\nImprove detection and remediation: Use telemetry, execution logs, and control-effectiveness measures to identify failures, tune enforcement, reduce false positives, and accelerate risk reduction.\nAdvance lifecycle and cost governance: Engineer solutions for tenant and subscription provisioning, renewal, decommissioning, ownership hygiene, resource governance, allowance management, and cost optimization.\nAutomate repeatable operations: Replace manual processes and one-off scripts with durable services, APIs, pipelines, and AI-enabled engineering approaches where appropriate.\nSupport operational resilience: Provide engineering leadership during complex incidents and escalations, perform root-cause analysis, and drive corrective and preventive actions.\nPartner across functions: Work with service owners, security and privacy teams, platform engineering, finance, support, and business stakeholders to align requirements, priorities, and delivery plans.\nProvide technical leadership: Mentor engineers, communicate design and risk tradeoffs clearly, and influence decisions without relying on direct authority.\nQualifications\nRequired Qualifications\n3+ years of professional software engineering experience using one or more general-purpose languages, scripting languages, or infrastructure-as-code technologies; OR a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field and 1+ years of relevant experience; OR equivalent experience.\nExperience leading AI-powered transformation initiatives, including the implementation of agentic workflows, automation, and data-driven solutions at enterprise scale.\nFamiliarity with AI governance, risk management, and responsible AI practices, with the ability to translate emerging AI capabilities into measurable business value.\nExperience designing, developing, testing, deploying, and supporting production-quality cloud services, automation, or platform engineering solutions.\nHands-on experience with Microsoft Azure, including Azure Policy, Azure Resource Manager, identity and access management, monitoring, or subscription and tenant governance.\nUnderstanding of secure software development, cloud security controls, least privilege, configuration management, and automated compliance.\nAbility to diagnose complex technical issues, use telemetry to drive decisions, and lead remediation across multiple teams.\nStrong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to explain technical and risk tradeoffs to engineering and business audiences.\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience with C#, Python, PowerShell, TypeScript, Azure Functions, Azure DevOps or GitHub pipelines, or equivalent technologies.\nExperience building Azure Policy definitions and initiatives, policy-as-code solutions, automated remediation, compliance dashboards, or control-evidence pipelines.\nKnowledge of Azure landing zones, management groups, subscriptions, Entra ID, role-based access control, resource lifecycle management, and cloud cost optimization.\nExperience operating services at enterprise scale, including incident response, root-cause analysis, health service monitoring, and reliability improvement.\nExperience applying AI or machine learning capabilities to engineering productivity, operations, detection, or remediation.\nRelevant Azure, security, DevOps, or cloud architecture certification.\nThis position will be open for a minimum of 5 days, with applications accepted on an ongoing basis until the position is filled.\nMicrosoft is an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to age, ancestry, citizenship, color, family or medical care leave, gender identity or expression, genetic information, immigration status, marital status, medical condition, national origin, physical or mental disability, political affiliation, protected veteran or military status, race, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, or any other characteristic protected by applicable local laws, regulations and ordinances.
