From the job posting, the role is to work on M365. This means products like Exchange, SharePoint, and Skype. I'll go out on a limb here and say that this new team will work on replacing existing C++ (not C#) code with Rust.

The article quotes the job posting:

>The job, a principal software architect for Microsoft 365, has responsibilities that include "guiding technical direction, design and implementation of Rust component libraries, SDKs, and re-implementation of existing global scale C# based services to Rust."

From the job posting (https://jobs.careers.microsoft.com/global/en/job/1633482/Pri...):

> guiding technical direction, design and implementation of Rust component libraries, SDKs, and contributing to the building of global scale services in Rust.

Maybe the article misquoted it. Maybe the posting was updated after the article. The only time C# shows up is on the required qualifications section.
