Senior Software Engineer
**Overview**
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.
Commerce + Ecosystems (C+E) is responsible for enabling and optimizing the end-to-end customer journey on the Microsoft Cloud.
Imagine joining a project where your code doesn’t just ship—it **shapes the backbone of Microsoft’s global commerce** . As an engineer on the **Billing vNext** initiative, you’ll work on **modern,** **highly scalable distributed system, cloud-native architecture** that powers billions in transactions. This isn’t maintenance work; it’s **a completely new engineering approach** —think **event-driven microservices** , **Transaction** **Orchestration** , and **Domain-Driven Design** in action.
Your contributions will ripple across Financial Platform’s entire ecosystem. Learn from senior architects and gain hands-on experience with **cutting-edge patterns and Azure tech** that most engineers only read about. Master the architecture principles that define modern distributed systems—skills that will set you apart for the rest of your career.
In this role, you’ll have opportunities to:
+ Demonstrate technical leadership building **mission-critical, high-scale** services.
+ Shape the next decade of Microsoft’s Billing system architecture.
+ Innovate using **modern engineering practices** and **AI-driven agentic workflows** .
+ Drive cross-team impact through deep technical collaboration.
+ Deliver exceptional service quality through **live-site excellence** .
You will partner closely with engineering and program teams across the Financial Platform to design, build, and ship solutions that delight customers and power Microsoft’s global revenue ecosystem.
If you are looking to accelerate your impact, drive architecture for high-scale distributed systems, and leave a lasting mark on a platform that defines Microsoft’s next generation of billing, **this is your moment** . **r**
**Responsibilities**
+ Design and develop **large scale** distributed software services and solutions.
+ **Drive engineering excellence** by applying and modeling best practices in software design, code quality, reliability, performance, and security.
+ Leads discussions for and owns the architecture of a products/solutions and creates proposals for architecture by testing design hypotheses and develop complex design specifications.
+ Implement **modern architecture** – Help refactor a legacy .NET codebase into a config-driven, event‑driven microservices system. You’ll write services that publish and subscribe to event signals, enabling decoupled integration between billing and partner teams (Tax, Payments, Invoicing, etc.)
+ Collaborate on building the **orchestration engine** that drives billing workflows as declarative configs rather than hard-coded logic. You’ll learn to manage distributed transactions (defining steps, handling failures with compensation) – a state-of-the-art approach for reliability.
+ Evangelize Domain-Driven Design – Apply DDD principles by helping define clear domain boundaries and interfaces for each billing component.
+ Develop telemetry into every feature you build. Help build the **Insights** component and similar tools to log events with rich metadata (correlation IDs, timestamps, etc.) to provide end-to-end insights into how financial scenarios are flowing throughout the stack.
+ Participate in On Call and Site Reliability rotations to support live-site and drive engineered solutions to improve customer experience.
+ Drives for results and impact through ownership, collaboration, and communication skills.
+ Continuously improve – As part of a fast-moving team, you’ll participate in design discussions, code reviews, and experiment with new Azure services. This project is iterative – you’ll get to ship in increments, gather feedback, and see your contributions quickly make a difference.

+ 2+ years of experience with event messaging or streaming architectures and technologies (Azure EventHub, Kafka, etc.)
+ 2+ years of experience with big-data and analytics technologies: Azure Data Explorer, Apache Spark, etc.)
+ Working experience in an agile development environment with a DevOps model
+ Working experience and understanding of CI/CD pipelines.
