Software Engineer 2 - Azure Service Fabric team

We are looking for engineers to design and deliver on cutting-edge, cloud-scale distributed systems technologies. Azure Service Fabric is a highly decentralized runtime that abstracts and solves some of the hardest distributed systems problems like failure detection, leader election, and replicated state machines that are fundamental to building hyper-scale, reliable and available systems. Service Fabric powers many critical first- and third-party services and runs symmetrically on the cloud and on premises. Mission critical services in Microsoft Azure, such as Microsoft Azure SQL offerings, CosmosDB, Power BI, Microsoft Teams and others use Service Fabric as a foundational layer to achieve cloud scale.

We are developing an end-to-end resource management and orchestration solution for Service Fabric that is capable of orchestrating millions of containers on thousands of virtual machines. We are looking for engineers who are passionate about systems programming and performance optimizations to achieve the lowest latencies and highest throughputs, and to maximize the efficiency of the Microsoft Azure cloud platform. You will get the opportunity to work across the stack on multiple components in Microsoft Azure, and to improve the efficiency and utilization of the Microsoft Azure cloud.
