As a Principal Site Reliability Engineer at Microsoft Substrate, you will play a pivotal role in setting technical and operational direction for reliability across critical cloud services like Exchange Online and M365 Copilot. Your responsibilities include defining reliability strategies, leading complex incident responses, and driving architectural decisions that ensure high availability and security in regulated environments such as GCC Moderate, GCC High, and DoD. You will architect large-scale automation and observability solutions, mentor senior engineers, and represent SRE perspectives to leadership. The ideal candidate has extensive experience with cloud or distributed systems, particularly in compliance-sensitive settings, and possesses strong skills in software engineering, network engineering, and system administration. This role demands a Tier 3 background investigation for GCCH and DoD environments and CJIS eligibility for GCC Moderate access, ensuring you can navigate the complexities of government cloud requirements while driving technical excellence across Microsoft’s foundational services.
