Description
OverviewHave you ever imagined the world with an infinite amount of storage available and accessible to everyone? A place where everyone in the world can easily access their books/music/photos/video/any data from anywhere at any time via any means (e.g. mobile phones, tablets, PCs, smart devices, etc). Did you ever desire a universally accessible storage system to record all the knowledge known to mankind, to keep all the books/music/videos ever created, or to store all the data collected from all the scientists in the world for them to collaborate with? Do you want to be part of a team that strives to bring these to reality?
If so, the Microsoft Azure Storage team is what you are looking for. We are building Microsoft’s cloud storage solution - Microsoft Azure Storage, which is a massively scalable, highly distributed, ubiquitously accessible storage system, designed to scale out and serve the entire world. We continue to have tremendous hockey stick growth, with many Exabyte’s of data stored, and are designing and building systems for Zettabyte scale to support demand growth for the coming years.
We are looking for engineers who are passionate about distributed storage, more specifically on building the Platform that will power all of Azure Storage and for distributed systems. We want talented engineers that are comfortable working on a fast-paced team and thrive in a startup like environment. The Azure Storage Armada Platform team is a platform that will power Azure Storage services and provide elasticity and scalability to the services. The Platform is going to support the exponential growth in the coming years and presents many interesting technical problems. Our mantra is to innovate, grow and learn.
To be successful in these areas, you must have a growth mindset and be curious. You will be solving challenges related to scale and reliability for a distributed system. You will have an opportunity to make high impact changes on a daily basis as you build a hyper scale storage system that may indirectly or directly be used daily by your friends and family.
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.
