Software Engineer Microsoft
Redmond, WA

Job Description

Are you a deeply technical software engineer who is intrigued by the opportunity to build software that you know will have immediate impact for a multitude of customers?

We are a team of expert developers that tackle the hardest challenges faced by Azure customers. We build open-source software to address those challenges or embed directly with our Azure engineering teams to build the capabilities into the core services. Over the years, we have had a lot of success building services, solutions, and developer experiences alongside engineering teams that enable our customers to build their solutions. We are continuing to scale our efforts in this space and are hiring engineers to focus on uncovering and solving more of these difficult problems.

This is a deeply-technical-coding-heavy role. While Commercial Software Engineering (CSE) is a worldwide team of engineers that spends a majority of our time coding directly with customers, this sub-team will primarily create software that impacts all Azure developers by building core capabilities into our cloud platform. You will be expected to spend most of your time coding with a small team of developers, just like you would on a core engineering team.

Requirements:

* 3+ years coding software with a major language like C#, F#, Go, Python, Java, or JavaScript.
* 3+ years coding frontend apps, backend services, or cloud infrastructure.
* Experience developing cloud solutions: PaaS, SaaS, IaaS, and/or Serverless.
* Experience developing amazing developer experiences including SDKs, APIs, CLIs, and tools.
* Experience developing container based solutions with an orchestrator such as Kubernetes.
* Experience building DevOps pipelines.
* Experience working on tight-knit collaborative team.
* Customer empathy or a desire to code with customers to develop this skill.
* Constant learner, ready to pick up new technologies, patterns and paradigms.

Nice to have:

* Experience coding with customers.
* Experience with Kanban process.
* Experience working for a major cloud provider.
* Experience developing high-throughput messaging systems.
* Experience contributing to open-source software projects.
