Operate cloud services in Azure that are fast and resilient, as well as craft interfaces and workflows that remove friction and let developers stay focused on what they do best. Leverage AI to enhance developer productivity, automate workflows, and improve insight, such as integrating AI-assisted troubleshooting, intelligent build orchestration, or smart test selection. Collaborate across product teams in DevDiv and 1ES to deliver up-to-date solutions that improve velocity and confidence. You will work closely with product teams to understand pain points and deliver the best experience for them. It is a constant challenge to reduce friction while holding a high-quality bar. Participate in agile development practices, including code reviews and design discussions, while contributing to a culture of technical depth, learning, and mentorship.
