Software Engineer II - MBO

** Overview*
* Most people experience Microsoft through products like Windows, Office, Xbox, Azure, and Copilot. Behind each of those experiences are the platforms, systems, and operations that help Microsoft bring ideas to market, serve customers, and run at global scale. That's where Microsoft Business Operations (MBO) comes in.

As a Software Engineer in MBO, you'll build the technology that powers Microsoft's business. From the creation of new commercial offers and consumption meters to the systems that track usage, generate insights, enable billing, and measure business outcomes, you'll help shape the end-to-end lifecycle that connects innovation to customer value.

Our engineers operate at the intersection of software, data, AI, and commerce, building intelligent platforms that power some of Microsoft's most critical business processes. You'll work across disciplines to create trusted, scalable systems that provide governance, visibility, and automation from product launch through customer adoption and consumption. The services you build won't just support the business, they'll help define how Microsoft launches, sells, measures, and grows its products around the world.

This is an opportunity to solve complex engineering challenges, influence company-wide platforms, and see your work create impact at a scale few organizations can match.

** Position Description*
* As a Software Engineer II, you will apply computer science principles to design, develop, and optimize software solutions for a set of product features and services. Working with minimal supervision, you will partner with product managers, technical leads, and fellow engineers to understand customer and business requirements and translate them into secure, reliable, scalable, and maintainable solutions.

You will use artificial intelligence (AI) tools and practices across the software development lifecycle in a disciplined manner, taking responsibility for the content of your AI-generated changes to artifacts and applying appropriate tooling and processes. You will apply coding patterns and recommended practices to build extensible, maintainable code; use logging and telemetry to investigate issues and improve reliability, availability, and performance;

and uphold Microsoft standards of security, privacy, safety, and accessibility while collaborating with and learning from more experienced engineers.

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.

** Responsibilities*
* As a Software Engineer II, you will contribute across the engineering lifecycle for a set of product features and services - designing, coding, testing, deploying, and operating solutions that are secure, reliable, accessible, and maintainable. You will work with minimal supervision within your feature area, begin to own design decisions under technical leadership, and use AI tools across the development lifecycle in a disciplined manner.
