Do you want to work in a team that’s at the heart of the Microsoft’s public Elastic Compute and Storage cloud, as well as Microsoft’s private Bing cloud? The three key services a modern cloud offers to its users are deployment, monitoring and repairs. The Azure One Deploy team builds the smarts at the cross roads of all these three. It is responsible for multi-level monitoring of both service and infrastructure health. It dynamically applies the health data to safely stage and orchestrate deployments and repairs for customer and infrastructural services on a global scale, across millions of virtual machines while maintaining high availability guarantees on services themselves. It is used by third party Microsoft customers, first party Microsoft services like HDInsight, SQL Azure, Cosmos and IndexServe, as well as for orchestrating upgrades and repairs to core infrastructural service like compute, networking and storage stacks. Azure One Deploy System holds the key to unlocking rapid innovation while providing the most up-to-date infrastructure for customers maintaining service availability and quality. The work done in the team has a multiplier effect for the entire company as it delivers on a smart underlying infrastructure for everyone to use. The traditional methods of software delivery cannot keep up with the demand of the developer innovation and business need, and so we are innovating across all aspects of service delivery.

The position requires the expertise of distributed system design, large scale service coding capability and service analytics. If you are expert in these areas, you will find yourself applying your knowledge, validating your work in the fast-growing Azure cloud platform, and enjoying the great sense of accomplishment.

Responsibilities

This position is for an experienced software engineer in OneDeploy focusing on one or more of the following problems:

Change management at all layers (infra/customer, public/private) in a coherent way from standpoint of safety, staging and impact.

Orchestrate change management (code, data, config) with changes in dependencies, repairs, scale/up down and other activities at all layers of the virtualization stack.

Collect and reason about health of targets across the Azure Stack.

Deliver great change management velocity.

Orchestrate change in co-ordination with customer preferences.

Deliver customer features for managing deployments on Azure such that Azure is the easiest and safest places to run cloud first services as well as traditional enterprise IT.

Enable experimentation, flighting and testing in production.

Build solutions that enable customers to focus on business layer and automate/simplify provisioning and deployment on Azure.

Work with open source technologies and with internal Microsoft teams and products to ship solutions.

This position requires expertise in distributed system design, development of large-scale services, and service analytics. Experts in these areas will find themselves applying their knowledge, validating their work in the fast-growing Azure cloud platform, and enjoying a great sense of accomplishment.

We offer you a strong team and culture that invests in new technologies and our people for the long term. While we design as a platform, we ship constantly in an incremental fashion. Emphasis is on solid long-term design, incremental development with high quality, and adapting to early customer feedback.
