Job description

The Senior Software Engineer role at Microsoft focuses on building the next generation system for collecting, processing, storing, and analyzing monitoring and diagnostic data within the Azure Monitor team. This team is part of the Azure Data engineering group, which is dedicated to transforming analytics through various cloud-based products. The position emphasizes full-stack development, particularly with front-end technologies like React and back-end components in C#. Candidates will contribute to a rapidly growing multi-billion dollar business that processes vast amounts of data daily.

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.
  • Ability to meet Microsoft, customer and/or government security screening requirements.
  • Knowledge of Microsoft Azure, Microsoft Fabric, AWS or similar cloud computing platforms.
  • Experience with modern AI technologies, including Generative AI, LLMs, RAG-based solutions, and cloud-scale data platforms.

Responsibilities

  • Drive well-scoped design and implementation work for cloud-native infrastructure used by Azure Observability services across multiple environments.
  • Own production-quality features end to end, including design, coding, validation, deployment, monitoring, and live-site support.
  • Partner with adjacent infrastructure, observability, and platform teams to align dependencies, clarify ownership, and deliver supportable solutions.
  • Participate in on-call and incident response; use learnings from live-site issues to improve automation, telemetry, troubleshooting guides, and prevention mechanisms.

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.
