Microsoft Overview Microsoft  has an exciting opportunity for a Software Engineer in the Microsoft Specialized Clouds Power Platform team, focused on building, deploying, and operating Power Automate services within Air-Gapped and Sovereign Cloud environments.

Power Automate is a foundational service within Microsoft Power Platform, enabling customers to automate workflows across applications, services, and data systems. In highly regulated and mission-critical environments, these capabilities must be delivered with strict requirements for security, compliance, reliability, and operational excellence.

This role sits at the intersection of software engineering and site reliability engineering (SRE). You will work on distributed systems that enable Power Platform services to function in isolated, air-gapped environments, partnering with Public Cloud teams to bring features to parity while ensuring those features meet the unique constraints of sovereign deployments.

You will be expected to operate with a high degree of ownership-driving design, implementation, live-site operations, and continuous improvement while contributing to a culture of automation, observability, operational maturity, and continuous learning. The team embraces modern engineering practices, including the responsible use of AI and Microsoft Copilot, to help engineers investigate issues, improve code quality, reduce repetitive work, and deliver greater impact.

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.
