Overview
Microsoft Azure is the foundation for cloud workloads supporting millions of customers across a vast array of cloud native and heterogeneous architectures.
Attackers are relentless in their attempts to find a way to compromise all manner of computing infrastructure, and cloud services such as Azure are also in their crosshairs.
Do you want to take a major leadership role in a team dedicated to protecting Azure from sophisticated attackers?
At Microsoft Security, our mission is to make the world a safer place for all. The Threat Protection Research Team is a global, multidisciplinary organization of engineers, data scientists, security researchers, and program managers.
With trillions of signals from millions of endpoints, we have an unparalleled view of the threat landscape, enabling us to develop deep expertise in attacker techniques and use that knowledge along with the latest technology to stop it.
We are looking for a Principal Security Technical Program Manager to lead the vision and execution for detecting attacks on Azure.
This person should have a deep understanding of what it means to run a large-scale, operational organization supporting millions of customers, and the accountability that comes with it.
This team will balance the fast-paced demand of on-call responsibilities and constant adjustment to adversaries with product innovation, team collaboration, and work life balance.
A successful leader in this role balances these competing demands while fostering cross-organizational collaboration to build and deliver on the strategic vision for defending Azure.
Are you up for this challenge?
Our culture is centered on embracing a growth mindset, a theme of inspiring excellence, and encouraging teams and leaders to bring their best each day.
