    Behind The Code

    The Commercial Software Engineering team (CSE) is a global engineering organization that works directly with the largest companies and not-for-profits in the world to tackle their most significant technical challenges. We’ve helped customers do everything from using AI and deep learning to create sustainable farming practices, protecting rhinos in South Africa with facial recognition, to using blockchain to accelerate and secure payments in the travel industry; all in partnership with their developer teams.

    Every day, this global team of incredibly talented people helps other developers create and utilize technology to achieve more. We will work on just about anything: blockchain, mobile apps, cloud services, big data ingestion problems, artificial intelligence, and machine learning – you name it. Our wide range of backgrounds and experiences, which like our customers, makes us unique in how we approach customer problems. The Microsoft CSE team works closely with clients to find creative solutions while also upskilling their developers to carry the project forward to a production-ready solution.

    The best part of these partnerships? We don’t charge a dime for our work or the code we create. We thrive as a team when we find ways to fill the missing links in potential solutions and crank out code to make that possible.

    This is a great place to meet a few of the people Behind the Code who reflect the wide range of experiences in our team and to showcase their incredible talent.
