Microsoft's Cloud Operations and Innovation (CO+I) team is seeking a Software Engineer II to join their engineering team that builds and operates Microsoft's datacenters powering their cloud business. This role is part of the CO+I Engineering team (CO+IE) which delivers services, applications, and automation supporting datacenter planning, construction, and operation.
The position offers the opportunity to work on critical infrastructure systems that enable predictable, lowest-cost datacenter construction, telemetry systems for high availability and optimized energy usage, and performance management applications. You'll be developing automation capabilities that power long-range execution planning efforts and drive workflow improvements for large-scale datacenter delivery.
As a Software Engineer II, you'll be writing high-quality code following SOLID principles, collaborating with stakeholders in an Agile environment, and resolving complex system integration challenges. The role involves working with various technologies including web development, APIs, and database systems, with a strong preference for experience in PowerPlatform/Dynamics 365.

You'll have the flexibility to work remotely (up to 100%) from several hub locations including Redmond, Atlanta, Phoenix, or San Antonio.
This is an excellent opportunity for a passionate, innovative engineer who can thrive in ambiguous situations and wants to make a direct impact on Microsoft's cloud infrastructure. You'll be part of a team that serves as a competitive advantage for Microsoft's cloud success, working on systems that directly enable the company's global datacenter operations.
The role requires a bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field with 2+ years of technical engineering experience, though equivalent experience is also considered. You'll need to pass Microsoft's cloud background check and be comfortable with 0-25% travel.
