The Microsoft Security organization’s mission of making the world a safer place has never been more important. As threats become more frequent and sophisticated, we drive improvements into our security products that keep our customers, apps and their devices safe. The Microsoft Security Customer Experience Engineering (CxE) Team anticipates, amplifies, and systemically solves customer needs, to make the world a safer place for all.

You will be technically strong and able to troubleshoot complex customer issues, handle difficult situations and distill clarity from ambiguity.
