Have you ever imagined the world with an infinite amount of storage available and accessible to everyone? A place where everyone in the world can easily access their books/music/photos/video/any data from anywhere at any time via any means (e.g. mobile phones, tablets, PCs, smart devices, etc). Did you ever desire a universally accessible storage system to record all the knowledge known to mankind, to keep all the books/music/videos ever created, or to store all the data collected from all the scientists in the world for them to collaborate upon? Do you want to be part of a team that strives to bring these to reality?
If so, the Microsoft Azure Storage team is what you are looking for. We are building Microsoft’s cloud storage solution - Microsoft Azure Storage, which is a massively scalable, highly distributed, ubiquitously accessible storage system, designed to scale out and serve the entire world. We continue to have tremendous hockey stick growth, we have many Exabyte’s of data stored, and are designing and building systems for Zettabyte scale to support demand growth for the coming years.
We are looking for a Software Engineer who are passionate about distributed storage, more specifically in the areas of resource management of distributed systems across an entire geo-region! Candidates who want to work on a fast-paced team with talented engineers will thrive here. The Azure Storage Limitless and Cluster Resource Manager Team manages control and data plane operations that manage hundreds of thousands of servers at exabyte scale while serving hundreds of millions of requests per seconds at low latency. We provide the semantics to virtualize customer accounts and physical hardware across entire geo regions. We also develop and maintain infrastructure related to high performance transfer of customer accounts across storage scale units. Additionally, these areas present challenging technical problems in a space where innovation is always happening.
To be successful in these areas, you must thrive while solving challenges related to durability, availability and concurrency for a distributed system. You will have an opportunity to make high impact changes on a daily basis as you build a hyper scale storage system that may indirectly or directly be used daily by your friends and family.
Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.
