Job description

The Azure Dev Services team is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to take ownership of key product areas and collaborate across Azure. This role focuses on building high-performance, low-latency distributed systems that support mission-critical workloads. The engineer will work with cutting-edge AI technologies and contribute to the future of developer infrastructure and observability. The position is part of a dynamic team within the Developer Division under the CoreAI business group.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or related technical field AND 4+ years technical engineering experience with coding in languages including, but not limited to, C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, or Python.
  • 4+ years of experience with cloud platforms such as Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), or Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
  • 1+ years of proficiency with AI-assisted development tools such as GitHub Copilot or IntelliCode.
  • Ability to meet Microsoft, customer and/or government security screening requirements.

Responsibilities

  • Own and operate highly scalable, reliable, and low-latency distributed systems that power mission-critical workloads.
  • Design and implement features that enable configuration management, monitoring, analytics, and observability for modern cloud applications.
  • Drive integration with other Azure services to deliver seamless customer experiences.
  • Write high-quality, well-tested code and own the DevOps lifecycle, including monitoring, alerting, and incident response.
  • Integrate AI-assisted development tools to improve engineering productivity and code quality.
  • Contribute to AI-enhanced features using technologies such as Large Language Models (LLMs), Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG).
  • Mentor others, fostering technical growth, promoting engineering best practices, and leading initiatives to enhance team capabilities and collaboration.

Benefits

  • Employees at Microsoft are often offered comprehensive, “world-class” benefits—including health and mental-wellness programs, competitive pay with bonuses and stock awards, and retirement/savings options. Time-off and flexibility are common, with generous vacation and holidays, parental and caregiver leave, and flexible work schedules, alongside learning support, employee resource groups, product discounts, and matching-gifts/volunteering programs. Specific benefits can vary by region.
