ResponsibilitiesIn this position, you can take charge and own all aspects of building and running highly available secure distributed services while providing mission critical functionality for Azure. You are working at the lowest layer of the Azure infrastructure. In our group, you and your work will be seen, appreciated, and rewarded.

Some of the questions we ask are "How do you develop services that compensate for 5% of the hardware being defect without generating a support call?" "How do we protect against widespread outage while rolling out a service that has a bug that was not discovered in testing?"
