Job Title: Principal Development Lead

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity - you've heard by now how Microsoft is 'all in' the cloud? And how we as a company are transforming ourselves and the industry by leading software and services? The office 365 foundation team is central to this (positive) disruption and now you have the chance to be a part of it. Our exchange Server, for instance, is the #1 enterprise e-mail server in the world and is on track to be the #1 e-mail service in the world growing at a tremendous pace. We are currently hosting ~50 million mailboxes in our datacenters around the globe, and doubling the number of users every six months. We are expanding in both global presence and customer satisfaction in the cloud.  

Office 365 was the fastest business in Microsoft to reach $1 billion in revenue.   Subsequent to that, in one year it again more than doubled its revenue.   Today it’s already a $3+ billion business at Microsoft.   Even with such strong business momentum, there is still plenty of opportunities to make deep technical impact to the product, service, and business.   The Office 365 Foundations Auth and Directory team is looking for talented engineer manager to lead the team working on the following areas:

1)      A highly scalable mission critical directory service.   Today this component consists of 5000+ AD servers in our datacenters and powers close to two trillion queries a month for all Exchange Online’s login, address book, and mail routing functionality. This team is engineering solutions to significantly reduce MTTR, enhance the directory’s load balancing capability and scalability.

2)      A fully fault tolerant provisioning system that applies millions of directory changes a month (for user provisioning activity), with 4-9’s success rate. The team is working to further reduce provisioning error rate, automate recovery solutions, and reduce the end to end user/company provisioning latency.  

3)      A datacenter and service management’s identity and authorization model, to provide our service engineers a flexible but tightly secured environment to manage and operate on the service.    

First and foremost, we are looking for Engineering Manager with strong passion for solving hard technical problems in cloud services and growing people. He should have “obsession” for user/customer experience. Candidates should have strong analytical, design, and development skills. Experience in Active Directory, Windows security, large scale service, distributed systems, database technologies is a plus but not required. Proficiency in object oriented development is a plus, with C# and .Net preferred. Excellent English communication skills would be a strong asset.
