Microsoft is a company where passionate innovators come to collaborate, envision what can be and take their careers further. This is a world of more possibilities, more innovation, more openness, and the sky is the limit thinking in a cloud-enabled world. 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 analytics 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. As a Software Engineer II, you will lead the design and implementation of critical distributed systems that operate at massive scale within Azure messaging services. You will own complex technical problems, influence system architecture, and raise the engineering bar for quality, reliability, and operational excellence across the team. 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. 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.
