Senior Data Engineer

Join M365 AI Experiences Data Platform to build the privacy first, experimentation driven data intelligence platform powering M365 Agents, People Experiences, and Windows Companions Apps. As we launch new capabilities across the ecosystem, you’ll turn raw, privacy safe signals into unified telemetry and actionable insights that let us ship faster through continuous experimentation, helping millions accomplish more every day. From industry leading “eyes off” analytics and deep behavioral understanding to mapping cross app workflows and measuring real productivity gains, you’ll architect the end to end foundation that product teams use to learn fast, decide with confidence, and build better. If you’re obsessed with software craftsmanship and responsible innovation at massive scale, come shape how M365 understands its users, and convert that understanding into intuitive, high value experiences from first instrument to final decision.

As a Senior Data Engineer, you will design and deliver scalable, secure, and high-performance data solutions that power intelligent experiences across our ecosystem. This role sits at the intersection of software engineering and data innovation, requiring deep expertise in distributed systems, data modeling, and modern data processing frameworks. You will own the architecture and implementation of end-to-end data pipelines, ensuring reliability, observability, and compliance at scale.

In this role, you will build robust data workflows leveraging technologies such as Azure Data Factory, Synapse, Microsoft Fabric, and Spark. You’ll implement advanced transformation logic using SQL, Python, SCOPE or KQL, optimize for performance and cost, and integrate CI/CD practices for automated testing and deployment across multiple cloud environments. Beyond pipeline development, you will champion DataOps best practices, establish monitoring and alerting systems, and lead root-cause analysis to drive continuous improvement in reliability and efficiency.

Success in this position requires strong problem-solving skills, a passion for data-driven decision-making, and the ability to collaborate across engineering, analytics, and compliance teams. You will influence platform strategy, mentor peers, and ensure that our data architecture supports both current and future business needs. This is a high-impact opportunity to shape the foundation of our data ecosystem and enable insights at a global scale.
