Description
OverviewMicrosoft 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 Microsoft Fabric, the Platform team builds and operates the unified foundation that brings together all Fabric workloads into a single, cohesive experience. The platform provides shared infrastructure, governance, security, and a unified data model that enables customers to manage their entire data estate in one place. This team is central to delivering Fabric as a complete, end-to-end intelligence platform.
Within the Microsoft Fabric Platform team, we are the Core Platform Engineering Systems team, and we are hiring a Software Engineer II.
We are a product engineering team: We design and build the platforms and services that carry Fabric from pull request to production, covering the local development inner loop, pull request validation and test infrastructure, end-to-end validation environments, deployment services, and the data systems that measure delivery performance. Our mission is to make Fabric's software delivery highly automated, fast and safe, with minimal manual intervention, a bounded blast radius, and automated rollback, and we measure our products against industry-standard DORA metrics including deployment frequency, lead time for change, change failure rate, and recovery time.
The engineering systems platforms we build are designed to run the engineering systems for every workload in Fabric, so each improvement we make compounds across all of the products in the Fabric suite and the teams that build them. This is a software development role, not an operations role: the work is designing APIs and services, writing production C#, and shipping features on a platform whose users happen to be other engineers. If you enjoy building developer-facing products such as build and CI/CD systems, test infrastructure, release orchestration, and deployment tooling, you will find deep and interesting problems here at the scale of one of the largest Azure services in the world.
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.
Responsibilities
Design and build developer-facing services and tools that improve the Fabric inner loop, including local development environments, build systems, and engineering tooling. Develop pull request validation and test infrastructure as a product, improving pipeline speed, test reliability, and coverage so quality issues are caught before merge. Build end-to-end validation environments and the automation that provisions them, helping changes reach daily validation quickly and safely. Design and implement deployment services that offer progressive rollout, health gating, and automated rollback as reusable capabilities for Fabric workload teams. Build the data and reporting systems that measure delivery performance, turning DORA signals into insight that engineering teams can act on. Write extensible, well-tested C# code and participate in code reviews with attention to coding patterns, security, and compliance. Embody our culture and values.
