Job Description:
We are Azure Data, a Microsoft team that drives the future of data processing in the Microsoft Cloud. Our software development team, located in Belgrade, is building some of the most advanced and widely used data processing cloud services in the world. The services we build are based on groundbreaking technology and are global market leaders, with millions of active users, and applications ranging from small shops to large mission critical business workloads. Each service provides the benefits of automated database management: patching, backups, high-availability, security, and many more. Azure Database for PostgreSQL and Azure HorizonDB are database services based on PostgreSQL technology, the most popular open-source DB tech in the world. Applications can enjoy the richness of PostgreSQL surface area developed by the ecosystem, such as JSONB, geospatial support, rich indexing and dozens of extensions, while also enjoying the benefits of a fully-managed cloud service: fast scaling, intelligent performance tuning, and automated security. Our PostgreSQL Engineering team is on a mission to redefine the future of cloud-native PostgreSQL by building a modern, serverless database platform that delivers continuous availability, high performance, and seamless scalability. We are investing in foundational improvements across core PostgreSQL components, engineering practices, and tooling - spanning automation, observability, and intelligent diagnostics - while embracing both proven techniques and cutting-edge innovations. We collaborate closely with open-source communities, Linux kernel contributors, and internal Azure engineering teams to push the boundaries of what PostgreSQL can achieve in the cloud. You will have the opportunity to contribute to open-source PostgreSQL and Linux, and\or develop extensions. Experience with both is preferable. We are looking for a Principal Software Engineer who is passionate and highly motivated to work on researching, solving deep technical problems, taking on challenges, and delivering cutting-edge market-leading software. In this role you will collaborate with some of the world's leading experts in this area of technology, and have an excellent opportunity to learn, grow and advance your career.
