Are you interested in the cloud business and enabling Linux OSS workloads?
The Microsoft Azure Platform is strategic to Microsoft enabling customers, ISVs, and Microsoft IT to develop, test, and deploy solutions in the cloud to take advantage of economies of scale, reliability, globally distributed data centers, and generally reduce the effort of managing dedicated IT infrastructure.
Azure is a growing leader in the cloud market with Azure Support enabling customer success and providing a key differentiator when customers make buying decisions.
Azure Linux Support is a strategic unit of Customer Support Services (CSS) responsible for the following:
- The definition and implementation of the support services required to win in the cloud marketplace.
- Resolving customer issues including complex technical scenarios.
- Engaging with customers running heterogeneous operating systems (Linux, Windows) on Azure Infrastructure Services.
The opportunity for you is to be part of the evolution of Azure and cloud support services, to be constantly challenged as the Platform expands to provide broader capabilities to customers, support customers using a service rather than on-premises products, and to work in collaboration with multiple Microsoft teams inside CSS and Engineering (Product Group).
The Support Escalation Engineer is responsible for support delivery, working with customers to resolve, complex Azure Linux technical customer issues on the Microsoft Azure Platform. In addition, the Senior Support Escalation Engineer will focus on determining technical support scenarios, supportability asks, support workflow adjustments for Azure Previews (equivalent of Beta in on-Premises); identifying required tools, cloud access, training, processes or capabilities for support to assess issues in less than 15 minutes. Need to closely collaborate with engineering, operations and CSS engineers.
The Senior Support Escalation Engineer is a critical role in the implementation of Azure Platform support capabilities which includes working with the Engineering Group and Azure Supportability PMs to implement asks; identify technology, and/or process readiness needs, and work with Training PMs and Technical Leads to ensure support team readiness; and, develop relationships with and engage with technology-specific support teams for customer incident resolution when required.
Specific measurements include achieving the CPE team goals, time to resolution or escalation, enabling a response time similar to competitors; maintaining technical skills through completion of ongoing readiness and Platform training; and, in general participating in the creation of future Microsoft support capabilities for Linux in Microsoft Azure.
