Azure Incubations Architect - Azure Incubations

We're looking for a Azure Incubations Architect - Azure Incubations to join the Azure Open Source Incubation team. We're part of the CTO's office and we're responsible for identifying new product ideas, incubating those ideas, and if they're successful, handing those incubated ideas off to Azure's service teams. We work closely with the open-source community as part of our endeavor. 

Innovation is challenging work, and, if we're pushing ourselves to explore new ideas, we'll find that many of our projects will fail. We've created a psychologically safe environment for experimentation and incubation. When we find good ideas, we double down on those ideas, building out the idea into a fully functional product. 

We work primarily in the cloud native, developer tools, and security areas, though other areas are open for investigation as well. Our primary customers are software developers building applications in the cloud. Recent projects include Dapr, Radius, Copacetic, and the recently announced Project Drasi. These open source projects have varying levels of maturity in the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), from Sandbox to Graduated.  

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.
