About The Position

Join Microsoft’s Azure Edge team to build engineering capabilities that enable Microsoft products and services to operate across connected, disconnected, regulated, and sovereign environments. These environments involve compliance, regional availability, and release readiness that can affect customer adoption and market access across government, defense, critical infrastructure, energy, healthcare, and sovereign cloud markets.

The role owns a broad portfolio spanning product compliance, Azure region expansion, and product release management. The engineer independently translates complex regulatory and market requirements into engineering requirements, product roadmaps, release criteria, and cross-team execution plans across Azure Edge products and dependent Azure services. The position also provides an opportunity to develop expertise in product compliance, global cloud expansion, release governance, and AI-enabled engineering systems, while influencing product decisions across a diverse technical portfolio.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related technical field and 4+ years of technical engineering experience coding in languages such as C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, or Python, or equivalent experience.
• Ability to meet Microsoft, customer, and/or government security screening requirements, including passing the Microsoft Cloud Background Check upon hire or transfer and every two years thereafter.

Nice To Haves

• Master’s degree in Computer Science or a related technical field and 6+ years of technical engineering experience coding in languages such as C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, or Python; or equivalent experience.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related technical field and 8+ years of technical engineering experience coding in languages such as C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, or Python; or equivalent experience.

Responsibilities

• Translate regulatory, cybersecurity, and market-access obligations into clear engineering requirements, implementation plans, and product roadmaps across Azure Edge products and services.
• Drive compliance readiness for current and emerging requirements; partner with engineering, product, security, legal, and broader Azure compliance teams to identify gaps, establish ownership, and drive remediation.
• Drive Azure region expansion readiness by coordinating product dependencies, engineering requirements, and partner-team commitments needed to enable predictable deployment into new regions.
• Own product release management mechanisms, including release readiness, cross-team dependencies, risk identification, decision criteria, and stakeholder visibility.
• Contribute domain expertise, requirements, and validation scenarios to AI-enabled compliance capabilities that improve how regulatory obligations are mapped to engineering actions and supporting evidence.
• Establish scalable operating mechanisms, metrics, roadmaps, and documentation that improve execution across compliance, regional expansion, and release management as the Azure Edge portfolio grows.
