We’re committed to delivering exceptional service and support, which starts with identifying and supporting the best staff possible. We are a fast-moving, nimble company looking for individuals who are collaborative, empathetic, driven and who love to move at the speed of light. If you want to be part of the AVD transformation that Microsoft and Vantage Compute are leading, then we want to speak with you. About the role We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer (Individual Contributor) to help design and build Vantage Compute ’s internal AI Enablement Platform within R&D. This team will develop software, tooling, and workflows that enable employees across the company to adopt AI more deeply and use it to improve productivity in meaningful, measurable ways. This is a hands-on engineering role on the R&D team that will work directly with the CEO during the first phase of the initiative to define, build, and operationalize the platform. This project is high-intensity, fast-paced, and focused on rapid progress — candidates who thrive in that type of environment will be well-suited for this role. The role requires strong software engineering fundamentals, a deep understanding of the Microsoft IT stack (including Entra ID, Azure, and Microsoft 365 — particularly around identity and authentication), and deep curiosity about emerging AI development workflows with practical experience using tools such as Claude Code to accelerate high-quality software delivery. As the initiative evolves, the role may continue to expand within this area or transition to other strategic R&D priorities based on business needs. What you'll do Platform Engineering & Internal Tooling Design, build, and maintain internal AI enablement tools, services, and developer workflows Build integrations that connect AI capabilities with internal systems, knowledge sources, and day-to-day workflows Translate ambiguous productivity problems into practical engineering solutions and reusable platform capabilities Develop and iterate on prototypes, proofs of concept, and production-ready implementations Help establish durable engineering patterns, documentation, and operational practices for the platform AI-Native Software Development Use AI-assisted development tools extensively to design, implement, test, debug, and refactor software Bring strong practical experience with Claude-based development workflows, including using Claude for code generation, architecture exploration, testing support, and iterative problem solving Evaluate and improve prompt, context, orchestration, and retrieval patterns to increase quality, reliability, and speed Apply responsible AI engineering practices, including security, privacy, access control, and safe handling of internal data Microsoft Stack & Identity Architecture Implement and integrate Microsoft identity and authentication systems, including Entra ID, Agent 365, and Microsoft 365 services — this is a critical area of technical expertise for this role Navigate and solve complex identity and authentication challenges across the Microsoft ecosystem with deep, hands-on understanding Design and build integrations that correctly leverage Microsoft’s identity infrastructure, including OAuth/OIDC flows, conditional access, and enterprise auth patterns Apply deep knowledge of the full Microsoft IT stack — not just the developer stack, but the IT stack: Entra ID, Agent 365, Microsoft 365, Azure, and their interdependencies Cross-Functional Collaboration Work directly with the CEO and executive leadership to understand platform vision and translate it into engineering priorities Partner with product, design, architecture, security, and business stakeholders to identify high-value AI enablement opportunities Support rollout, onboarding, and internal enablement by helping teams adopt new AI-powered workflows effectively Communicate technical tradeoffs, implementation plans, and outcomes clearly to technical and non-technical audiences Execution & Operational Excellence Deliver features and services end-to-end, from design and implementation through te
