Job Description

Azure Core is Azure's most profitable business and is growing incredibly fast! We provide millions of servers for customers to run their workloads in the cloud. We are a globally available foundational service that hosts services with the scale of Azure, Bing, M365, and Azure Storage.

As a Senior Software Engineer in the Azure Pilotfish team, you will be responsible for building services that manage the fleet of servers in Pilotfish. This includes services that provision servers, monitor and diagnose software and hardware issues, and support new types of hardware that customers are demanding.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Collaborate with stakeholders to determine user requirements
  • Drive identification of dependencies and development of design documents
  • Create, implement, optimize, debug, and refactor code
  • Act as a Designated Responsible Individual (DRI)
  • Guide other engineers by developing and following the playbook
  • Work on-call to monitor systems and triage service issues
  • Ensure work meets quality and compliance standards

The role offers flexible work options including remote work possibilities. You'll be part of Azure Core, which hosts millions of multiplayer gaming sessions and helps solve large computational problems in seconds. The team supports workloads ranging from new cloud-native services to traditional applications migrated from physical datacenters.

This is an excellent opportunity to accelerate your career growth in one of the fastest-growing businesses at Microsoft. You'll work in a culture built on respect, integrity, and accountability, where everyone can thrive both at work and beyond.
