Site Reliability 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. Our culture is centered on embracing a growth mindset, a theme of inspiring excellence, and encouraging teams and leaders to bring their best each day. In doing so, we create life-changing innovations that impact billions of lives around the world.

The Microsoft Red Team attacks ALL Microsoft services, continually – identifying critical, systemic risks, demonstrating authentic attack chains and techniques, and working with engineering teams, investigators, and incident responders to continuously improve their ability to protect, detect, investigate, and respond to real attacks.

We are looking for a site reliability engineering manager to help manage the critical infrastructure our red team relies on to succeed in its mission – and to do so safely and securely.  In this role you’ll be expected to lead a team that builds automation that dynamically creates ephemeral attack infrastructure, builds isolated productivity environments for sensitive work, and establishes security policies that allow us to conduct our unique work while maintaining a higher security bar than the services we attack.

Our engineers come from diverse backgrounds, are passionate about our products, and grounded in our customers’ needs. Our team values thoughtful engineering, the ability to develop strong relationships with your peers and partners, and the ability to focus on the outcomes that matter.

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.

In alignment with our Microsoft values, we are committed to cultivating an inclusive work environment for all employees to positively impact our culture every day.
