The explicit goal of the core telemetry platform is to provide a consolidated and comprehensive control plane platform that can be used to configure, deploy and control the telemetry workloads. This system will support both first-party and third-party scenarios with a consistent set of APIs and user interfaces. There is an emphasis on taking advantage of as much of the underlying Azure principles and design constructs as possible.

As we are evolving this system, one of the key challenges is we need to migrate most of Azure's core services from using existing systems such as MDS and CDE to new, modern platforms that can scale with the growth of Azure. We need to both build the next-generation platforms to support our core business as well as migrate customers to an alternate billing pipeline for better scale and alignment with each team's business needs. In addition to migration, we need to maintain and meet the SLA of the overall system as the needs of Azure continues to grow.

We're looking for engineers who are passionate about large scale distributed systems and debugging complex systems. This area has huge impact for all of Azure; any reliability issues in this system have direct impact to revenue for the Azure Business. If you are an engineer who has a passion for cloud services and enjoys solving critical business needs, this is a great opportunity for you.
