OverviewDevelopers are our customers, and we focus on understanding their requirements to enhance engineering productivity, security, and compliance. We consolidate multiple developer needs into strategic projects aligned with broader organizational objectives. By working closely with engineers, our team assists BIC engineers in addressing technical challenges and developing skills through direct collaboration. We facilitate cross-functional initiatives that support engineers in becoming more agile and deploying reliable code to production efficiently. This method has proven effective, and the team gains ongoing experience from these interactions. As a Software Engineer II with the Microsoft Business Industry Copilot (BIC) group, you will work with developer teams to plan and execute projects. You will identify customer needs, ensure effective solutions, and be responsible for defining the project vision while prioritizing user stories in the backlog. You will bring effective collaboration skills, a passion for working with cloud and AI technologies, and know how to create and deliver high-impact reusable software artifacts with diverse engineering teams. Our engineers are self-starters who continually sharpen and deepen their hands-on technical skills, and they embrace ambiguity as an opportunity to lead and set direction for their team and themselves. Microsoft's mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.
