Overview
Join Microsoft Ads as a Principal Technical Program Manager and help shape the systems behind ad delivery at global scale. Ads is a demanding and rewarding engineering domain, with high query volume, tight latency requirements, massive compute and data footprints, and a direct path from engineering improvements to measurable customer and business impact.
A major initial focus for this role will be ads serving runtime and compute-intensive systems, including GPU/CPU inference performance and efficiency. The role also spans the broader Data, Platform and Tools charter across online and offline ads systems, experimentation, metrics, data platforms and pipelines, capacity, developer tooling, and engineering efficiency. We are looking for a versatile technical leader who can quickly develop depth in critical areas, connect work across the end-to-end ads platform.
In this role, you will develop an independent technical point of view grounded in evidence. You will use product requirements, architecture, code paths, production data, logs, experiments, and system behavior to understand complex problems, test hypotheses, identify constraints and trade-offs, and help shape technical direction.
You will turn that understanding into end-to-end execution: framing problems, defining outcomes, aligning engineering and product teams, resolving technical and organizational dependencies, driving implementation and launch, measuring impact, and course-correcting when needed.
You will partner closely with engineering, product, data science, and business leaders across organizations, while identifying systemic opportunities, shaping technical and program direction across teams, and raising the bar for how complex technical initiatives are structured and executed.
Success requires strong technical judgment, curiosity, clear written and verbal communication, ownership, and the ability to earn influence through depth, evidence, and consistent delivery. You are not expected to own every line of production code, but you are expected to understand complex systems end to end, independently find answers, connect decisions across components, challenge assumptions credibly, and drive critical initiatives through to measurable outcomes.
Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. We build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.
