Overview
Are you looking for an opportunity to work with the latest Azure offerings and push the limits of cloud computing? Do you want to solve real-life challenges in intelligent cloud and enable customers to achieve more? If so, we have the perfect role for you!
We are part of the Microsoft Specialized Cloud organization, delivering Azure to customers on their premises. Our team is responsible for building innovative products and services ecosystems that bring Azure Edge computing to locations where customers are running their business.
As a Software Reliability Engineer in the Microsoft Specialized Cloud team, you will leverage end-to-end technical expertise in large scale distributed systems' infrastructure, code, inter- and intra-service dependencies, and operations to proactively and continuously improve the reliability, performance, efficiency, latency, and scalability of Edge services and products operating at scale. You will partner with software engineering product teams by suggesting scalable ways to optimize code, sharing expertise and insights drawn from working across related services or products, and participating in incident response throughout development and operations lifecycles. You will develop code, scripts, systems, and/or tools that reduce operational burden by automating complex and repetitive tasks, enable product engineering teams to increase the velocity at which they can safely deploy changes to production, and monitor the effects of changes across systems, services, and/or products. You will analyse telemetry data to identify patterns and trends that drive continuous improvement, and highlight opportunities to improve quality and reliability of our products and services. You will participate in on-call rotations to resolve live site incidents, minimize customer impact, and document solutions and insights that inform ongoing improvements to infrastructure, code, tools, and/or processes that prevent the recurrence of similar issues.
If you're ready to take on the challenge of working with highly motivated engineers, with the latest of the Azure offering and taking them to new heights, then we'd love to hear from you! Please apply today and let's build the future together!
