About The Position

Azure Network Services (ANS) sits at the heart of the most transformative shift in cloud computing since its inception: AI at hyperscale. Every model trained, every inference served, every GPU delivered, every distributed AI service deployed—all of it depends on the network. ANS is where Microsoft is building the next generation of AI‑optimized networking: ultra‑high‑bandwidth connectivity for AI training and Inferencing workloads, 3P GPU integrations, for massive, distributed workloads, and the backbone for the world’s most advanced AI customers.

As a senior member of the ANS Product Management team you’ll be in the middle of the action—defining product strategy, shaping how Azure scales GPU capacity globally, partnering directly with Azure AI, C+AI Engineering, Azure Security, HPC, CO+I, and global network architecture teams, and driving the networking capabilities that power AI services at planet scale. This is a role for builders who want to influence multi‑billion‑dollar decisions, design systems that change what Azure can do, and operate at the intersection of AI, cloud infrastructure, and next‑generation networking.

Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.
