Azure Core is responsible for building and operating the foundational infrastructure that powers Microsoft Azure. This includes the platform services that enable compute, networking, storage, and distributed systems to operate reliably and at scale across Microsoft’s global cloud footprint. These services are central to Azure’s control plane and are critical to ensuring platform availability, performance, and customer trust.

As a Senior Software Engineer within this organization, you will work on developing and operating highly reliable, low-latency platform services that manage persistent, distributed system state. These services are deeply integrated into Azure’s infrastructure and serve as essential components for internal and external workloads that demand strict service letter agreements (SLAs) for durability, availability, and scalability.
This is a high-impact role focused on building foundational platform services for the Azure cloud. You’ll be part of a team that values deep technical expertise, strong execution, and a commitment to delivering secure, scalable, and maintainable systems at global scale.
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.
