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 big data analytics team provides a range of products that enable data engineers and data scientists to extract intelligence from all data – structured, semi-structured, and unstructured. We build the Data Engineering, Data Science, and Data Integration pillars of Microsoft Fabric.
The Fabric Data Engineering Experience & Infrastructure team is hiring a AI Engineer to help build LLM-powered data engineering experiences and infrastructure for Fabric Data Engineering, based on Apache Spark. You will help implement agentic workflows and scalable LLM-backed data features (e.g., AI Functions integration, notebook copilots, evaluation/telemetry etc) with advanced capabilities designed to help Data Engineers achieve more through Microsoft Fabric.
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.
