Principal Software Engineer

The Intelligent Conversation and Communication Cloud (IC3) powers billions of real-time conversations across Microsoft Teams, Dynamics 365, and Azure Communication Services. The IC3 Platform team builds shared infrastructure and engineering capabilities that help these services deploy and operate reliably across global and sovereign clouds.

We are seeking a Principal Software Engineer to provide hands-on technical leadership for our Buildout Efficiency initiative. Our goal is to make expanding services into new clouds, geographic regions, and deployment environments a repeatable, self-service process rather than a sequence of manual handoffs.

This role will lead the architecture and development of an infrastructure orchestration platform that turns declarative service definitions into deployment pipelines and coordinated provisioning workflows. The work spans compute, networking, identity, certificates, monitoring, and capacity dependencies, with explicit approval, validation, and recovery controls.

You will write and review production code, define integration contracts, and work with Azure and Microsoft 365 partners to close gaps across the full buildout process. You will also apply AI agents to engineering and provisioning workflows while maintaining human review, automated testing, security, and operational accountability. Success means fewer manual interventions, shorter buildout times, and reliable recovery when dependencies fail.
