OverviewWithin Microsoft Fabric, we are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help us build the foundational layer of the Time Series Database for Azure Monitor. On this team, you'll work on how trillions of signals from Microsoft's intelligent cloud are ingested, processed, and turned into reliable, real time insights. We own the core telemetry ingestion pipelines that handle more than 100 petabytes of data every day and underpin observability across Azure, Office, Windows, Xbox, and a broad ecosystem of customer applications. This role is involved in solving the hard problems of scale, with strict requirements on throughput, reliability, correctness, and operability, and offers meaningful ownership over systems that run continuously at global scale. Beyond individual contributions, you'll collaborate across teams, mentor engineers, and help establish technical direction and engineering standards as the platform evolves.
We embrace a fast-paced, startup-like culture focused on shipping early and often, with an emphasis on attention to detail, introspection, and accountability. Collaboration is at the heart of our team. We build on each other's ideas and empower engineers to innovate from the ground up, delivering world-class value at speed.
What we build:
* Low-latency data ingestion and processing pipelines.
* Highly scalable, resilient microservices hosted in the cloud.
* Availability indicators, monitoring, and auto-mitigation software.
* Deployment and operational tooling.
If you're passionate about building systems that power Azure's observability and health at hyperscale, and thrive in an environment that values creativity, collaboration, and technical excellence, we'd love to hear from you.
