Senior Software Engineer, Fauna
Join the Microsoft Garage Team building Innovation Studio, a Teams-integrated product that helps organizations run high-impact hackathons, accelerate ideas, and turn employee creativity into measurable business outcomes. You will help shape a product that combines modern web experiences, Azure-native services, agentic AI workflows, and deep integration with Microsoft first-party tools.
As a Principal Software Engineer, you will lead the architecture and delivery of product capabilities across React, Azure Functions, Microsoft Teams, GitHub, Azure AI Foundry, secure identity, data workflows, and agent orchestration. You will also help define how our team uses agentic development itself: multi-agent workflows, AI-assisted planning, implementation, review, validation, documentation, and the tooling that makes those workflows reliable.
You will have opportunities to work on emerging patterns in agentic software engineering, enterprise-grade AI orchestration, Teams app development, GitHub and Azure integration, and future integrations with additional Microsoft first-party tools.
At Microsoft, our mission—to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more—guides how we partner with customers to deliver trusted, impactful solutions. With a growth mindset culture, we innovate responsibly and measure success by shared progress—people, teams, and customers. Join us to do meaningful work that changes the world and helps shape what’s next for everyone.
