Senior Software Engineer

Microsoft is a company where passionate innovators come to collaborate, envision what can be and take their careers further. This is a world of more possibilities, more innovation, more openness, and the sky is the limit thinking in a cloud-enabled world.

Microsoft’s Azure Data engineering team is leading the transformation of analytics in the world of data with products like databases, data integration, big data analytics, messaging & real-time analytics, and business intelligence. The products our portfolio include Microsoft Fabric, Azure SQL DB, Azure Cosmos DB, Azure PostgreSQL, Azure Data Factory, Azure Synapse Analytics, Azure Service Bus, Azure Event Grid, and Power BI. Our mission is to build the data platform for the age of AI, powering a new class of data-first applications and driving a data culture.

Within Azure Data, the databases team builds and maintains Microsoft's operational Database systems. We store and manage data in a structured way to enable multitude of applications across various industries. We are on a journey to enable developer friendly, mission-critical, AI enabled operational Databases across relational, non-relational and OSS (Open Source Software)offerings.

This work focuses on cluster orchestration, usually a part of the “control plane” of cloud systems, and, is related to SQL DB’s tight integration with Microsoft’s Service Fabric (aka Windows Fabric) cloud orchestrator (the same class of system as Kubernetes).  The problem at hand is broadly a distributed systems problem, with an eye towards designing and building a solution that will stand the test of time (think decade).We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer who can handle the complexity of the component interaction graph and dependencies that are taken on the PLB component are substantial but justified due its mission critical nature.
