All of us must manage an ever-increasing number of processes and systems often while on the go.

Join us at this pivotal time for our team as we launch the new Viva Connections application for connected employee experiences and incubate new offerings in the Microsoft Viva suite, expand our SharePoint Framework developer platform, and continue to onboard millions of new end users who are adopting our modern web architecture. We approach our problem space with empathy for the change and needs our customers have in the cloud. We build partnerships with teams across Microsoft, functioning as scenario and customer experts that can integrate the best of Microsoft together into one seamless experience, including leading AI and ML tech to solve real customer problems. We 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. Our data science team keeps us on track, and usage insights frame our backlog conversations. In short, we are a data-driven, service led, customer-focused engineering team passionate about web architecture and experiences.
