Build and scale Azure Monitor’s globally distributed backend systems for telemetry collection, storage, and AI-assisted observability at hyperscale.
Microsoft is a company where passionate innovators come to collaborate, envision what can be, and take their careers further. This is a world of more possibilities, more innovation, more openness, and sky-is-the-limit thinking in a cloud-enabled world.
Within the Azure Monitor team, we are looking for a Software Engineer II and Senior Software Engineer to help build and evolve the Azure Monitor backend systems. This role is ideal for someone who can own complex, globally distributed systems end to end, drive architecture across teams, improve reliability and security at scale, and shape how AI-assisted and AI-agentic capabilities are safely applied to infrastructure operations. You will work on services that have to continue to scale for usage with the entire fleet, enabling telemetry scenarios for every workload.
Microsoft's Azure Data engineering team is leading the transformation of analytics in the world of data with products like databases, data integration, big data analytics, messaging and real-time analytics, and business intelligence. The products in our portfolio include Microsoft Fabric, Azure SQL DB, Azure Cosmos DB, Azure PostgreSQL, Azure Data Factory, Azure Synapse Analytics, Azure Service Bus, Azure Event Grid, and Power BI. Our mission is to build the data platform for the age of AI, powering a new class of data-first applications, and driving a data culture.
Within Microsoft Fabric, the Azure Monitor team builds services that enable customers to monitor, detect, troubleshoot, and mitigate issues with their services through an increasingly agentic experience. Azure Monitor includes Log Analytics, Application Insights, Container Insights, Hosted Prometheus, Azure Managed Grafana, and more. Additionally, Azure Monitor is the platform upon which Microsoft Sentinel is built. We have a multi-billion dollar business that is growing rapidly, and we run some of the world’s highest scale observability services both for Microsoft internally and for our external customers, processing over 1.5 Exabytes of logs daily and tracking over 100 billion active metrics.
We embrace a fast-paced, startup-like culture focused on shipping early and often, with an emphasis on attention to detail, introspection, and accountability. Collaboration is at the heart of our team. We build on each other's ideas and empower engineers to innovate from the ground up, delivering world-class value at speed. If you're passionate about building the systems that power Azure's observability and health at hyperscale and thrive in an environment that values creativity, collaboration, and technical excellence, we'd love to hear from you.
