My team is hiring–Work with ISV’s and Windows Azure!

I work with a really cool team at Microsoft. Our charter is to help Independent Software Vendors (ISV’s) build or migrate applications to the Windows Azure platform. We’re growing, and looking to fill two specific roles in the US:

Architect Evangelist (DC area, Silicon Valley area). 80% technical, 20% business development experience. Excerpt from the job description:

“You will be responsible for identifying, driving, and closing Azure ISV opportunities in your region. You will help these partners bring their cloud applications to market by providing architectural guidance and deep technical support during the ISV’s evaluation, development, and deployment of the Azure services. This position entails evangelizing the Windows Azure Platform to ISV partners, removing roadblocks to their deployment, and driving partner satisfaction.”

Platform Strategy Advisor (New York area).  50% technical, 50% business development experience. Excerpt from the job description:

“You will be responsible for identifying, driving, and closing Azure ISV opportunities in your region. You will help these partners bring their cloud applications to market by providing business model and architectural guidance and supporting them through their development and go-to-market activities. This position entails evangelizing the Windows Azure Platform to ISV partners, removing roadblocks to their deployment, and driving partner satisfaction.”

Both of these roles are work-from-home positions, along with onsite customer visits and additional travel as necessary.

Job postings are on LinkedIn and the Microsoft Careers site:

I’ll post an update as soon as the DC-area position is posted (should be later today).
