Job Description
Summary
We are looking for a strong engineering manager who is seeking more impact and is excited about delivering fast paced, constant updates to our customers. You will have the chance to collaborate across teams to bring the best experience and capabilities to our customers and manage smart, motivated engineers with a positive attitude and growth mindset. Our Africa Development Center team plays a key role in two related projects: Windows Admin Center and Windows Server Containers. Windows Admin Center has grown to become the single graphical management plane, and primary User Experience for anyone servicing or managing Windows Servers and clusters. Since its release in 2008 it has grown to having hundreds of thousands of users managing millions of servers and clusters around the world.
Being an agile, web-based application gives the team the flexibility to deliver on a faster than Windows basis and drive customer experience at a pace that surprises many teams, allowing us to reach out to our customers and react to them and their needs faster than ever before. Meanwhile, our Windows Server Containers offering has been growing in popularity and we need to integrate Windows containers as a first-class citizen in open-source projects like Kubernetes. You will work with the partner teams to build the “bridge tooling” alongside the community to close the gap between Windows and cloud native technologies.
