Job Description:

The Fabric Data Engineering Experience & Infrastructure team is hiring a Principle Software Engineering Manager to lead a team building LLM-powered data engineering experiences and supporting infrastructure for Fabric Data Engineering, based on Apache Spark. This role spans people leadership and technical leadership: you will grow and coach engineers while guiding design and delivery of agentic workflows and scalable LLM-backed data features (e.g., AI-assisted notebook experiences, evaluation/telemetry, production-grade orchestration patterns) that help Data Engineers achieve more through Microsoft Fabric.

Job Responsibility:

  • Lead and grow a team: Hire, onboard, coach, and develop engineers
  • set clear expectations
  • create an inclusive culture of accountability, learning, and collaboration.
  • Drive execution and delivery: Guide team planning and prioritization across multiple workstreams
  • manage dependencies, risks, and release readiness
  • ensure predictable delivery from requirements → architecture → implementation → rollout → live-site operations.
  • Shape requirements with partners: Partner with Product Management, Design, Research, and dependent engineering teams to translate ambiguous customer needs into crisp scenario plans and measurable outcomes.
  • Guide architecture and technical strategy: Lead identification of dependencies and development of design documents
  • guide architectural decisions for distributed, cloud-scale systems (Spark/PySpark + Python services) with explicit tradeoffs across performance, reliability, cost, security, privacy, and operability.
  • Raise the engineering quality bar: Establish and reinforce engineering standards (design reviews, coding patterns, test strategy, performance practices, operational readiness)
  • ensure code and designs meet quality and scale expectations.
  • Operational excellence and accountability: Own service health for your area—live-site readiness, on-call excellence, incident response, postmortems, and sustained improvements. Hold accountability for outcomes when services do not meet performance or reliability expectations.
  • AI Engineering at production scale: Guide the team to build and operationalize LLM-powered experiences using robust orchestration, grounding, evaluation/quality gates, telemetry, and iterative improvements aligned to customer value and Responsible AI principles.
  • Cross-team influence: Build partner relationships across organizations and geographies
  • align on shared goals, interfaces, and SLAs
  • unblock execution and drive decisions when tradeoffs arise.

Requirements:

  • Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, or related technical discipline AND 6+ years technical engineering experience with coding in languages including, but not limited to, C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, or Python
  • OR equivalent experience
  • Ability to meet Microsoft, customer and/or government security screening requirements are required for this role. These requirements include, but are not limited to the following specialized security screenings: Microsoft Cloud Background Check: This position will be required to pass the Microsoft Cloud background check upon hire/transfer and every two years thereafter.

Nice to have:

  • Modern LLM / AI Engineering: Solid understanding of LLM systems and applied AI Engineering (prompting, grounding/RAG, tool/function calling, agent orchestration, evaluation). Ability to define quality bars and drive adoption of repeatable patterns across teams.
  • Operationalizing AI/ML at scale: Experience establishing monitoring/telemetry, experimentation (A/B), rollout strategies, and cost/latency optimization—driving predictable operations and continuous improvement across services.
  • Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or related technical field AND 8+ years technical engineering experience with coding in languages including, but not limited to, C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, or Python OR Master's Degree in Computer Science or related technical field AND 12+ years technical engineering experience with coding in languages including, but not limited to, C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, or Python OR equivalent experience.
  • People leadership: Experience leading and developing engineering teams (hiring, coaching, performance management, career growth), building inclusive culture, and improving team effectiveness.
  • Technical depth in distributed systems: Proven ability to guide design and delivery of scalable distributed systems and production services, including reliability, diagnosability, and operational excellence.
  • Spark + data platform expertise: Hands-on understanding of Apache Spark/PySpark and data engineering patterns for large-scale structured/semi-structured/unstructured workloads
  • ability to guide platform-level improvements (performance, cost, operability).
  • Cloud + security/compliance rigor: Cloud-native engineering experience (Azure compute/storage/networking) and ability to ensure solutions meet security, privacy, and compliance expectations.
  • Cross-team partner leadership: Demonstrated ability to align with multiple partner teams, manage dependencies, and deliver high-impact customer outcomes through influence and collaboration.
