Senior Software Engineer
Microsoft
Job description
Develop standardized CI/CD frameworks and deployment patterns that enable reliable, repeatable, and secure releases across environments. Build and maintain Infrastructure-as-Code frameworks using technologies such as Bicep, ARM, Terraform, PowerShell, or equivalent tooling. Automate infrastructure and environment provisioning, configuration, policy application, deployment, and lifecycle management. Develop self-service platform capabilities and paved-road engineering patterns that allow application and data teams to provision and operate infrastructure with minimal manual intervention. Drive infrastructure and cloud cost optimization through utilization telemetry, tagging, attribution, idle-resource detection, rightsizing, automated shutdown, capacity optimization, and policy-based controls. Build capabilities that provide near-real-time visibility into infrastructure utilization and cost across domains, subscriptions, resource groups, services, and business initiatives. Establish engineering standards for source control, branching, release management, automated testing, environment promotion, rollback, and deployment validation. Partner with DataOps and Reliability Engineering to improve observability, monitoring, alerting, SLOs, incident diagnosis, and automated remediation. Engineer platform capabilities that improve resilience, including automated recovery, deployment safety, configuration validation, capacity management, and environment consistency. Integrate security-by-design and DevSecOps practices into CI/CD and infrastructure workflows, including policy enforcement, secrets management, identity, network controls, and automated security validation. Apply AI-assisted and agentic engineering capabilities to improve developer productivity, automate operational tasks, analyze infrastructure health, and accelerate troubleshooting and remediation. Identify recurring engineering and operational toil and convert manual processes into reusable automation and platform capabilities. Use operational telemetry, incidents, cost data, deployment metrics, and developer feedback to identify and prioritize platform improvements. Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or related technical field AND 4+ years technical engineering experience with coding in languages including, but not limited to, C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, or Python OR equivalent experience. Experience building and operating cloud-scale platforms, infrastructure, or distributed systems. Experience building and operating CI/CD pipelines, reusable deployment frameworks, and automated software deployment systems using Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, or comparable technologies. Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code, automated infrastructure provisioning, and environment management using technologies such as Bicep, ARM, Terraform, PowerShell, Azure CLI, or equivalent. Experience with DevOps, SRE, observability, deployment reliability, and operational engineering practices. Experience with FinOps or cloud-cost engineering, including analyzing cloud consumption and utilization data, cost attribution, rightsizing, resource optimization, capacity management, and automated cost controls.
