Code with customers to create real-world cloud solutions

Are you a cloud engineer who sees the big picture? Do you have the insight necessary to craft a vision and guide an engineering team in the right direction?

Do you love finding simple, elegant solutions for complex technical problems? Do you want to learn new tech every day? If so, the Technical Program Manager role in Microsoft Commercial Software Engineering (CSE) may be a good fit for you.

Working side-by-side with customer engineers, our team helps Azure customers overcome technical challenges, build trust, and grow confidence by coding directly with them.

We run short-term Azure-focused engagements that help customers become more agile and deploy high-quality code into production much more quickly.

Not only does this approach work, it's fun, and we learn every day.

In this role, you partner with teams of Microsoft developers ("crews") to define and execute customer engagements and OSS projects.

Your primary responsibility is understanding how we can best help our customers and making sure the right solution is built.

As the Scrum Product Owner, you represent the project vision by crafting and prioritizing user stories in the project backlog.

Successful Dev Crews PMs have good social skills, are passionate about working with cloud technology, have strong engineering backgrounds, know how to create and deliver high-impact, reusable software artifacts, and are excited to get results with, and through, diverse teams of world-class software engineers.

Our PMs are self-starters who continually sharpen and deepen their hands-on technical skills, and they embrace ambiguity as an opportunity to lead and set direction for the team and themselves.
