As part of your work you will partner with the Group Manager for Incubations, who runs engineering and product management for Incubations. Together you will assess new ideas, design solutions for ideas that are promising, and deliver prototypes that enable us to further explore these ideas. You are hands on and enjoy building prototypes yourself.

In this job you are focused on delivering success. You know that considering intriguing new ideas is only part of what we do. Our real job is to build; the teams you lead help ensure Microsoft stays on the leading edge of cloud computing. You have a track record of starting new projects and experience with nimbly changing technical direction as projects evolve.

In this job you will do a lot of learning. Because we work on the leading edge of cloud native computing and distributed computing, we'll rely on you to master new concepts quickly, leveraging your unique experiences to help us understand these concepts in relation to existing concepts. You are successful because you leverage your depth of experience in areas like cloud computing, distributed computing, and/or developer tools.

In this job you'll understand that, if we're doing our work well, then about 50% of our projects will fail. You understand that failure is a natural part of incubation. You'll ensure we share what we've learned from our incubations so that other Microsoft employees as well as members of the open source community can learn from our experiments.
