Senior Software Engineer

Azure is the fastest-growing business in Microsoft’s history and is the foundation of Microsoft’s commercial Cloud Services. Azure differentiates itself as the only hyper-scale, enterprise-grade Cloud that has a true hybrid story. 

Building on Azure’s success as a horizontal platform, we, as part of the Azure Core organization, are leading the transformation in the Energy sector, currently focused on the Oil and Gas industry. We partner with customers, independent software vendors (ISVs), and solution providers to deliver business-critical platforms and services for this multi-billion-dollar industry. The Energy team is innovating across the Azure platform and services—including data ingestion, search, managed offerings of the open-source Open Subsurface Data Universe (OSDU) via Azure Data Manager for Energy, high-performance computing (HPC), and artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML)—to bring differentiated value to this market segment.

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer who is curious, to help us create products that customers love in a nascent and hyped market. Experience handling ambiguity and experimentation would be highly valued. Candidates must have demonstrated collaboration skills to work constructively across functions, groups, and time zones to solve customer problems. Finally, we seek candidates who will contribute to a positive culture, where all members of the team can do their best work, creating an advantage out of our diverse backgrounds, styles, and skill sets. The product portfolio will consist of multiple layers in the cloud stack, both built from scratch as open source and built as proprietary extensions to Microsoft’s existing platforms.

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.
