Software Engineer ll Microsoft
Redmond, WA

Job Description

From connected cars to intelligent transportation systems, the Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the hottest technology trends today that is dramatically shaping the future of tomorrow. IoT is estimated to grow to more than 30 billion devices and a multi-trillion-dollar industry by 2020, driving rapid innovation in manufacturing, medicine, oil and gas exploration, agriculture, construction, and shipping logistics (just to name a few). Microsoft firmly believes in the massive potential of IoT and in 2018 made a commitment to invest USD 5 billion in IoT over the next 4 years.

Recently at Microsoft Build, we announced "IoT Plug and Play", an industry open standard for seamlessly connecting IoT devices to the cloud (https://mybuild.techcommunity.microsoft.com/sessions/77052?source=sessions#top-anchor - skip to 33:45). Just how Windows Plug and Play unleashed a mass revolution of USB peripheral devices that to this day "just works" with Windows, IoT Plug and Play will do the same for the cloud and will dramatically simplify building modern IoT solutions.

Our device ecosystem partners play a crucial role in making IoT PnP mainstream. We are looking for a curious, passionate and hands-on software engineer to expand Azure IoT Certification Service (AICS) - a scalable, multi-tenant cloud service used by our OEM/ODM ecosystem partners to get their IoT devices certified for Azure. AICS performs a variety of validation tests on the IoT device, and it's experience is integrated into the OEM's firmware development process (i.e. inner dev loop).

You'll be a part of a fast-growing team of highly motivated and talented engineers. Azure IoT is a fantastic opportunity for you to shape the future of something profound and far-reaching at an early stage.

Our team values a friendly atmosphere with passion for improving engineering practices along with building excellent products. We believe strongly that diverse and inclusive teams, with mutual respect, empathy and great communication, will help us deliver superior products and is key to Microsoft's success.
