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 messaging and real-time intelligence team provides comprehensive solutions and a robust platform that enables users to ingest high granularity signals (real-time & observability) and complex data, converting those into a competitive advantage in real-time for both end users and modern applications. The Azure Messaging team is hiring a Software Engineer II to help shape the next generation of our platform and control plane infrastructure. Our services handle tens of thousands of requests every second with low latencies, acting as the reliable backbone for customers across the globe. We're looking for dedicated, creative distributed systems engineers who are passionate about solving complex problems at scale. In this role, you’ll work on high-impact components that serve as the entry point for Azure Messaging services. Your work will be central to how customers configure and interact with our platform. You will design, implement, and operate core components of large-scale distributed systems that power Azure messaging services. You will work on well-scoped problems, contribute production-ready code, and collaborate closely with senior engineers to deliver reliable and scalable solutions. Beyond the core platform, the team applies its deep messaging expertise to power strategic scenarios in Microsoft Fabric — a completely managed SaaS offering. We enable the seamless ingestion, transformation, and cataloging of streaming data, helping customers unlock real-time insights with minimal operational overhead. This is a unique opportunity to be part of a team that operates at the heart of Azure’s messaging stack, where your contributions will directly influence the growth and reliability of the platform while enabling new experiences across Microsoft’s data ecosystem.
