Region Designer - AMERS

Microsoft’s Cloud Operations + Innovation (CO+I) is the engine that powers our cloud services. We deliver the core infrastructure and foundational technologies for Microsoft. Our infrastructure is comprised of a large global portfolio of hundreds of data centers, managed by a team of subject matter experts working to support services for more than 1 billion customers and 20 million businesses in over 90 countries worldwide.

The Region Design and Technology team is at the forefront of driving regional launch, expansion, and evolution. Our global team works with a broad range of disciplines to craft and implement design principals and the newest technologies.  As a Region Designer on the AMER Region Design team, you will be responsible for creating long term designs for the launch of new Azure Regions in North and South America, expansion of our existing regions, and implementation of new technologies and requirements into the regions.  To create optimal designs, you will partner with multiple engineering groups (both physical and software), finance, land, energy, and network teams to ensure we meet our customer requirements, design principals, and financial targets.  Once the design is completed, you will be responsible for getting alignment and approval of the region design across multiple disciplines both inside and outside of CO+I. Once a plan is in execution, you will proactively monitor the region for risk to the design and engage cross-functional teams for resolution.
