• Data Engineer

    Microsoft Corporation (Redmond, WA)


    Overview

     

    What if your work helped redefine how one of the world’s largest commercial engines plans, decides, and delivers—using AI as a firstclass primitive?

     

    The COO Revenue Operations team sits at the heart of Microsoft’s commercial business (MCAPS). Our mission is simple but ambitious: shorten the distance between customer signal and meaningful action. We design and operate the systems that power planning, execution, and growth across Microsoft’s global commercial organization—and we’re rearchitecting them for the age of Generative AI.

     

    This is not research in isolation. This is shipping AI-powered systems used by tens of thousands of employees worldwide.

     

    If you’re a junior data engineer who wants ownership, scale, and steep learning curves and finds themselves nodding along to Steve Yegge’s rants, this is the kind of team you join once and grow fast on.
