Site Reliability Engineer 2

Microsoft is a company where passionate innovators come to collaborate, envision what can be and take their careers further. This is a world of more possibilities, more innovation, more openness, and the sky is the limit thinking in a cloud-enabled world. Microsoft’s Azure Data engineering team is leading the transformation of analytics in the world of data with products like databases, data integration, big data analytics, messaging & real-time analytics, and business intelligence. The products our portfolio include Microsoft Fabric, Azure SQL DB, Azure Cosmos DB, Azure PostgreSQL, Azure Data Factory, Azure Synapse Analytics, Azure Service Bus, Azure Event Grid, and Power BI. Our mission is to build the data platform for the age of AI, powering a new class of data-first applications and driving a data culture. Within Microsoft Fabric, the Data Integration team enables organizations to connect, move, and shape data across their entire data estate. As data is generated across applications, devices, and systems, our integration capabilities make it easy to ingest, transform, and prepare data for downstream use. Fabric’s unified integration experience simplifies how customers bring data together, ensuring it is trusted, usable, and ready to power analytics, real-time insights, and AI scenarios. The Customer Data Integration (CDI) organization within Power Query is building a new Live site engineering team that serves as the first line of defense for one of Microsoft's most critical data integration services. You will own incident triage and response across Power BI, Fabric, Power Query Online, Gateway, and hundreds of data connectors,  and you will build the agentic automation that makes that operation increasingly self-driving. This is not a passive monitoring role. You will be on call, triaging real incidents, and ensuring uptime for business-critical services. You will simultaneously build the intelligent agents, automation pipelines, and tooling that reduce manual effort with every iteration. Your goal is to make yourself more effective over time by engineering your way out of repetitive work. We do not just value differences or different perspectives. We seek them out and invite them in so we can tap into the collective power of everyone in the company. As a result, our customers are better served.

Incident triage and first-line response: Provide on-call coverage for incoming incidents across CDI services. Perform initial investigation, severity assessment, and routing to owning engineering teams. Agentic triage system development: Build and extend AI-driven agents that ingest ICM alerts, correlate with recent deployments and feature flag rollouts, check known-issue databases, and produce initial assessments with suggested severity and owning team. TSG and known-issue matching: Develop automation that matches incoming incidents to relevant Troubleshooting Guides (TSGs) and known issues across Fabric and Power Platform — reducing investigation time and enabling faster resolution. Auto-routing and classification: Configure and extend ICM routing rules and build intelligent classification systems based on service tree, alert signatures, and historical patterns. Incident lifecycle automation: Build agents for incident summarization, customer communications drafting, postmortem generation, and reporting, replacing manual authoring with AI-assisted workflows requiring human judgment only for high-severity incidents.  Metrics and continuous improvement: Measure and improve first-time mitigation (FTM) rates, incident deflection rates, and time-to-triage. Use data to identify patterns, propose new TSGs, and drive systemic improvements.
