Overview

At Microsoft, we are reimagining how technical guidance is created and delivered. You’ll join a team that blends deep architectural expertise with AI-assisted systems to meet the evolving needs of cloud builders. Together, we empower developers, architects, and organizations to succeed on the Microsoft Cloud through modular, scenario-based content that reflects real-world use and adapts to global audiences. Our work is surfaced through agentic experiences and modern workflows, powered by Microsoft Learn.

We focus on creating authoritative narratives that reflect real-world architecture patterns, tradeoffs, and decision-making frameworks. We also provide production-grade code samples and templates that demonstrate best practices. Our curated libraries offer reusable code and guidance for domains like modernization, migration, and Artifical Intelligence (AI)-driven architectures. Additionally, we integrate AI into our content pipelines to scale expert-authored guidance. Together, we’re building the future of content that is agile, intelligent, and deeply aligned with customer needs.

As a Senior Content Developer, you’ll help shape how we build, validate, and deliver technical guidance in a fast-changing cloud environment. You’ll work alongside engineers, architects, and AI tools to create scenario-based content that empowers developers and solution architects building on Microsoft Azure. You’ll be part of a new Ireland-based team focused on cross-cutting Azure initiatives such as modernization, migration, secure-by-design architectures, AI-infused solutions, and cloud governance. You’ll experiment with automation, prompt engineering, and agent-assisted authoring to evolve how content is created and scaled, improving both efficiency and quality.

This opportunity will allow you to accelerate your career growth through hands-on innovation and global collaboration, deepen your technical judgment across diverse Azure domains, and hone your skills in AI-assisted content development and scalable content systems. Additionally, we support flexible work arrangements, including partial or full remote options depending on role and location.

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.
