Principal Software Engineering Manager

Security represents the most critical priorities for our customers in a world awash in digital threats, regulatory scrutiny, and estate complexity. Microsoft Security aspires to make the world a safer place for all. We want to reshape security and empower every user, customer, and developer with a security cloud that protects them with end to end, simplified solutions.

The Microsoft Security organization accelerates Microsoft’s mission and bold ambitions to ensure that our company and industry is securing digital technology platforms, devices, and clouds in our customers’ heterogeneous environments, as well as ensuring the security of our own internal estate.  

We are now extending our security stack with the goal of supporting and empowering nations, governments, and related organizations in protecting their country’s estates and safeguarding critical assets. This effort aims to protect the well-being of their citizens against cyber threats and attacks. The Sentinel suite leverages the robust Microsoft security portfolio to automatically analyze threat data across domains, building a complete picture of each attack in a situational awareness dashboard. This allows for monitoring, hunting, detecting, and remediating threats at scale while securely collaborating with related organizations in this critical mission. With this breadth and depth of clarity, nations can now build a holistic view across their assets, focus on critical threats, hunt for sophisticated breaches, support other organizations, and trust that the powerful automation in Microsoft’s security products detects and stops attacks anywhere in the cyber-attack kill chains, returning the organization to a secure state. 

We use state-of-the-art cloud technologies, big data solutions, AI at hyper scale and modern UX platforms to deliver the highest value for our customers.
