As an SRE, you'll be treating operations as a software engineering problem, focusing on improving the availability, latency, performance, and security of Microsoft M365 Security services.

The position combines traditional operations responsibilities of maintaining revenue-critical systems with a software engineering approach to solving problems through code improvements and automation. You'll be working with state-of-the-art technologies to deliver the next evolution in collaboration and teamwork.

The ideal candidate will provide leadership and direction for networking, infrastructure design, implementation, and security for M365 Security services.

The compensation is competitive, ranging from $117,200 to $229,200 per year, with higher ranges for San Francisco and New York City locations. Microsoft offers comprehensive benefits including industry-leading healthcare, educational resources, savings and investment options, parental leave, and generous time off.

Key technical requirements include 6+ years of experience in software engineering or systems administration, strong knowledge of TCP/IP networking, security protocols, and proficiency in scripting languages like Python and PowerShell. Experience with Linux, cloud computing, Docker, and Kubernetes is highly valued.

The role involves being part of an on-call rotation and requires passing Microsoft's cloud background check. This position offers an excellent opportunity to work on large-scale systems while contributing to Microsoft's mission of empowering every person and organization on the planet to achieve more.
