About the Team
The Office Platform team plays a vital role in the Microsoft 365 developer story.

We do this by both fostering one of the world’s largest developer ecosystems around our Windows applications, and building a modern extensibility model that is based on web technologies and runs across platforms.

We are a diverse, worldwide, enthusiastic, customer-obsessed team with a highly collaborative environment, focused on ensuring that we have a world-class platform and a successful, thriving partner ecosystem.
