Our world is rapidly transforming. The amount of data each of us consume and create is ever increasing. In fact, the total amount of content in the world is doubling every two years now. People spend 20% of their time looking for information and 60% of people claim to be missing key pieces of data to make decisions daily. All of us must manage an ever-increasing number of processes and systems often while on the go and multitasking. On the OneDrive and SharePoint team, we believe cutting edge technology can help our customers thrive in an information dense world.

We are excited about transforming our customers into “AI natives” where technology augments their ability to achieve more with the files, web pages, news, and other content that people need to get their task done efficiently by providing them timely and actionable notifications that understand their intents, context and adapts to their work habits. We are building a large-scale distributed system on top of SharePoint, O365 Substrate, Azure, a micro-services architecture, Machine Learning and more. As a Software Engineer II on our team, you'll approach our problem space with empathy for the change our customers are undergoing with the cloud. We achieve more through partnerships with and providing notification capabilities to many apps across O365 delivering billions on notifications, functioning as scenario and customer experts. We’ll continue to embrace the Microsoft philosophy of an inclusive culture and growth mindset, so we bring fresh perspective to this area of our product portfolio.

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.
