Job description

Are you excited about the possibility of working on one of the largest Object Storage services in the world? The Azure Storage team is chartered with building, managing, and running the Persistent Cloud Storage for Microsoft Azure Cloud. We are one of the foundational services in the Azure Cloud. The service hosts data from some of the largest companies in the world and has scaled to store exabytes of customer data with the roadmap looking even better in terms of growth.

The Partition layer in the Storage service is the heart of the system and provides the indexing, geo replication, load balancing and multi tenancy.

An ideal candidate will bring:

•      Strong distributed systems knowledge

•      Experience building scalable system software and/or services

•      Experience in writing multithreaded code in C++

•      Hands on development experience including designing and writing code

•      Proven ability to plan, schedule and deliver high quality software

•      Passion for customers

•      Good collaboration skills

Requirements:

•      3+ years of professional software development experience in C/C++/C#

•      A Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science or related engineering degree
