Technical Program Manager
Microsoft
Hybrid connectivity is the backbone of how customers build secure, high‑performance, global-scale applications. In Azure Networking, you play a key role in shaping the future of private cloud connectivity and hybrid network reliability. You help customers connect mission-critical environments to Azure through ExpressRoute, Virtual Private Network and modern hybrid frameworks.
You will join a team that empowers you to solve deep technical challenges in hybrid and multi-cloud networking—including routing, global private connectivity, network resiliency, and observability. You’ll work closely with engineering leaders, customers, and partner teams to design features that directly improve how enterprises connect to Azure. You thrive in ambiguous problem spaces, influence cross-team strategy, and bring clarity to complex networking ecosystems.
As a Product Manager in Azure Networking for ExpressRoute & Hybrid Connectivity, you will take structured ownership of features that power ExpressRoute and Hybrid Connectivity—capabilities that connect on‑premises infrastructure to Azure with private, resilient, high‑performance connectivity. You will build a strong understanding of how customers interact with your features, how those features fit within the broader hybrid networking portfolio, and drive product execution end‑to‑end. You will partner with engineering, architects, field teams, and network providers to design resilient connectivity experiences, improve monitoring and observability, streamline provisioning workflows, and deliver capabilities that elevate customer trust.
At Microsoft, our mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. We believe in a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to achieve shared goals. You will join a culture that values inclusion, encourages curiosity, rewards impact, and supports you in bringing your authentic self to work every day.
