Are you looking to make a real difference in Microsoft’s mission to empower every person and organization to achieve more, with the power of cloud computing? Do you want to work at the forefront of Cloud Computing to design, deliver & operate cloud-scale systems that are the foundation of the World’s Computer which is Azure? Do you want to be part of a highly motivated and passionate team that works together to do what it takes for our customers to be successful while having fun and learning along the way?

Azure Core is Azure's most profitable business and growing incredibly fast! We, the Azure Core IDC team, pride ourselves in working without boundaries to deliver the cloud platform capable of running any workload. And we mean ANY! Think of any large Microsoft service; Teams, Bing, Exchange, Xbox, SQL Azure, Office 365, HDInsight, COSMOS DB…. Or customers such as Accenture, Adobe, Walgreens, Walmart, Flipkart, In-Mobi and the multitude of the large/medium/small shopping, banking, finance, gaming, logistics, enterprises, data analytics/management, storage services of the world. They run on infrastructure we build.

As platform owners for such a diversity of workloads, we need to guarantee SLAs for our customers. Service metrics like availability/reliability/performance and Infrastructure metrics like capacity/efficiency take on a new meaning at the scale we operate. Our customers want 5 9’s+ of availability, transparent maintenance & updates to their systems, resiliency of their workloads despite H/W and system failures that happen all the time in the datacentre, ability to deploy & dynamically scale large number of VMs/containers reliably. Cloud infrastructure demands efficient management of cloud resources using intelligent algorithms like oversubscription and optimal packing which build on low latency monitoring platform for resource utilization. For example, Azure Live Migration team in IDC works on a platform that creates customer impact across availability, capacity, and efficiency pillars. Ensuring the customer SLAs at scale requires us to architect and build systems across all layers of Azure Core stack (Azure Compute Manager, Compute Resource Provider, Azure Resource Mover, Azure Service Fabric, etc).

Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.
