Networking Research (MNR)
Come join the top industrial research group for datacenter and wide area networking research. The mission of the Mobility and Networking Research (MNR) Group at Microsoft Research is to invent and research technologies that make Microsoft's networks, services, and devices indispensable to the world. The MNR group focuses on basic and applied research in all areas related to networked systems and mobile computing. We build proof-of-concept systems, engage with academia, publish scientific papers, publish software for the research community, and transfer cutting-edge technologies to Microsoft's product groups. The MNR group has dominated top academic conferences including ACM SIGCOMM and USENIX NSDI, and has had massive impact on the Azure Network by productizing research technologies including Software Defined Networking, Hardware-accelerated Datapath, and Network Verification. The MNR group is seeking Research Software Development Engineer candidates with stellar empirical R and D skills
