Overview
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 & real-time analytics, and business intelligence. The products 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 Azure Data, the Microsoft Fabric platform team builds and maintains the operating system and provides customers a unified data stack to run an entire data estate. The platform provides a unified experience, unified governance, enables a unified business model and a unified architecture. The Fabric Data & Telemetry team is part of the Fabric Platform. It is responsible for all platform capabilities in support of “observability” – From telemetry creation (APIs, event repositories, etc.), through routing and storage, to eventual consumption tools and data models. This observability is critical for the service and business and supports pillars such as live-site monitoring, diagnostics, analytics for operations and product development, and ensuring Fabric customers have high quality data for their own observability needs.
The charter of the team is to provide Fabric stakeholders, partners and clients with world-class data for running the Service and Business. The team and its members work across different codebases, disciplines, platform components and observability pillars. In particular, the team is required to function within the service core, applying classic cloud and software engineering practices and tools, as well as a core-data team, applying (big) data-engineering and analytical practices and tools.
As a Senior Software Engineer on the team, you will play a key role in shaping the future of our platform. Using the latest Azure technologies, you will design and build scalable telemetry instrumentation services and pipelines and develop tools for metadata management, you will create job monitoring and notification services for data pipelines, and streamline daily operations through automation.
We do not just value differences or different perspectives. We seek them out and invite them in so we can tap into the collective power of everyone in the company. As a result, our customers are better served.
