Software Engineer II

Azure Resource Graph (ARG) is a core service within Microsoft's Azure Control plane that organizes and manages planet-scale cloud inventory. The platform handles approximately 6.5+ billion cloud resources daily, providing essential services to Azure customers through scalable and performant tools. As a Software Engineer II, you'll be working on critical initiatives to scale the platform to meet growing Azure needs, focusing on high-throughput query systems and ingestion services.

The role involves working with distributed systems, programming language runtime internals, and potentially database internals to build Azure's inventory infrastructure. You'll be part of a team that enables various Azure experiences including Azure Portal, Azure Market Place, and Search. The position requires strong technical skills in cloud-scale services development, with opportunities to mentor team members and drive technical designs.

The compensation is competitive, ranging from $100,600 to $199,000 per year (higher in SF Bay Area and NYC), with comprehensive benefits including healthcare, educational resources, and investment options. The work environment offers up to 100% remote work flexibility with 0-25% travel requirements.

This is an excellent opportunity for a mid-level engineer to work on mission-critical infrastructure at Microsoft, contributing to systems that power Azure's core services while developing deep business acumen about cloud computing. The role combines technical challenges with opportunities for growth and impact in cloud infrastructure.
