With the exponential growth of artificial intelligence (AI) workloads, Azure’s infrastructure is scaling rapidly—and so is the network that supports it. The Wide Area Network (WAN) Edge team in Azure Networking is leading this transformation. As data and compute demands increase, traditional human-driven network operations are no longer sufficient to meet the scale and complexity of modern AI infrastructure. To address these challenges, the team is investing in agentic artificial intelligence workflows to modernize network operations. By embedding intelligence into the fabric of Azure’s global network, we aim to automate, optimize, and scale operations with minimal human intervention—ensuring reliability, agility, and performance at cloud scale. As a Senior Software Engineer in Azure Networking’s WAN Edge team, you will design and build intelligent systems that automate large-scale network operations using agentic AI workflows. You will work on advanced infrastructure challenges that support the rapid growth of AI workloads across Azure’s global network. This opportunity offers hands-on experience with high-performance networking, cloud-scale engineering, and collaboration across Azure and AI Platform teams to shape the future of intelligent infrastructure. Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.
