Overview We are a community of client-facing engineers that work directly with customers to build applications. As a result, being able to collaborate in person is essential. We ask that candidates reside within 2 hours of a MS Office in the above locations and can work from the MS office up to 25% of their time. Industry Solutions Engineering (ISE) is a global engineering organization that works with Microsoft's largest customers on cutting-edge technologies. We code side-by-side with our customers' engineers to collaboratively innovate custom technology solutions tailored to solve their business challenges. Our work also involves the development of software assets that can be reused by other customers and these assets can contribute to the Microsoft platform. ISE is also an important source of customer feedback for Microsoft product groups and with every engagement, we aim to learn how to make our products better for our customers. As a Software Engineer in ISE specializing in Data, you will team up with other ISE engineers on customer engagements involving Microsoft's Data offerings. We understand that most technologies are evolving very quickly, so broad experience in the Data space and the ability to quickly upskill and unblock others is the key to success. By interacting with our customers' engineering teams and Microsoft's product engineering teams, you will develop real-world technical experience that helps customers grow their business and Microsoft to improve our products and services. Watch this video to learn more about who we are and what we do: https://aka.ms/ISEvideo We welcome diversity of all kinds. ISE includes many cultures, educational backgrounds, life stages, identities and technical skills and we continue to build a culture where all voices and perspectives are heard and considered. If you have an open mindset and an inclusive working style, you may be just the engineer that we are looking for. If you love learning new things, enjoy challenges that often result in fast failure on the path to deeper understanding, then please throw your name into the hat! Responsibilities This is in no way a complete list of what you will be doing day-to-day, but it should give you a framework that this role operates within: Understand User Requirements Identify deep insights from customer engagements and partner with the product group on using customer needs and insights to guide future product roadmap Design Participate in architecture design sessions and coding sprints working alongside ISE engineers and customer engineers to help them make good design decisions specifically around building good Data solutions. Coding Be a hands-on software engineer where needed, so you'll need to be able to write good quality code. However, we mostly bring Data & AI capability to the existing ISE industry engineering crew that has end-to-end ownership of the customer engagement, not adding extra capacity to work on any technology Collaborate with other members of the team and the broader organization to strategically invest in building reusable assets and playbooks, leveraging the experience of delivering quality solutions to customers
