About the role

Senior Technical Program Manager responsible for introducing the next-generation Ethernet platform for regional networking at Microsoft scale within Azure Networking, driving requirements, regional design, interoperability validation, workload testing, and staged production deployments, with emphasis on cross-team leadership, reliability, performance, and operational readiness.

Responsibilities

  • Independently drive the next-generation Ethernet program for regional networking. Turn ambiguous needs into clear requirements and execution plans; set priorities, resolve dependencies and own delivery and readiness outcomes.
  • Shape regional network design and topologies with architects. Balance performance, latency, resiliency, failure domains, capacity, scalability and cost for training and inference within a region.
  • Apply large-systems thinking to develop new network designs and products with engineers and vendors, resolving interdependencies across network switch and host NIC capabilities, Ethernet fabrics, transport, network management software and network operations.
  • Lead interoperability validation and representative workload testing with engineering. Evaluate RDMA and emerging MRC capabilities where appropriate, using congestion, path diversity, failure recovery and accelerator utilization to assess readiness.
  • Plan staged production deployments for safe coexistence with the existing fleet. Use compatibility validation, failure injection, limited canaries, telemetry-based release criteria and rehearsed rollback to manage risk before expansion.
  • Agree operational-readiness criteria with operations teams, covering support ownership, monitoring, runbooks, capacity and incident response before each production stage.
  • Align engineering, operations and partners through influence. Make evidence-based tradeoffs together, resolve competing priorities and use reliability, performance, adoption and recovery metrics to improve post-launch outcomes.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's Degree AND 4+ years experience in engineering, product/technical program management, data analysis, or product development - OR equivalent experience.
  • 2+ years of experience managing cross-functional and/or cross-team projects.
