Microsoft Graph is the premier API developers use to build software on the Microsoft 365 platform. Our API powers all sorts of apps including both 1st party and 3rd party applications. Graph is the central nervous system that connects data in the Microsoft cloud to applications worldwide.
Who designs these rich API experiences? How do we enable developers to quickly build amazing, data-rich apps? How do we curate the many API proposals and create harmony rather than dissonance? We’re amplifying Microsoft’s future by enabling developers to build deeply personal experiences, and we need you. Interested?
Responsibilities
You will have a unique opportunity to demonstrate both empathy and technical prowess to succeed. In this role, you’ll be working with leaders and developers in many orgs who have their own timelines and agendas. Success means understanding the API developer’s needs from start-to-finish and crafting the libraries that create the beautiful and scalable APIs we seek in Microsoft Graph.

We are a tight-knit community of engineers who are committed to:
- Respecting privacy and security.
