Senior Software Engineer - Azure Files Growth
Azure Files team is looking for a talented and highly motivated Senior Software Engineer to design and develop the next generation of the Azure file storage stack. We are building Microsoft's cloud storage solution - Azure Storage, which is a massively scalable, highly distributed, ubiquitously accessible storage system, designed to scale out and serve the entire world. Azure Files is the foundational file system and file sharing service built in Azure Storage, supporting industry-standard SMB/CIFS, NFS, and REST protocols, fully compatible with on-premises file servers, both Windows and Linux-based, scalable up to exabytes of storage, and providing world-class reliability, performance, and security. We are looking for an enthusiastic candidate looking to grow at a fast pace matching our service and team's growth, with a passion for writing high-quality software and enjoying collaborating with a dynamic team. As a Senior Software Engineer - Azure Storage Files, you will develop features at the core storage and the protocol layers of the service, including architectural changes to significantly increase scalability and performance of the file system. You will have the opportunity to explore distributed system design, file protocols (NFS, SMB), and help solve the performance and scale requirements of the most demanding workloads, used by the most impactful companies and services. You will have the opportunity to make high-impact changes daily as you build a hyper-scale file storage system that powers the world. Responsibilities
Design, build, maintain, and operate a file service with high resiliency, multi-protocol support, and high scale - with millions of requests across multiple global regions. Implement the next generation of enhancements in the Core Azure File Storage service, including scale out of the namespace, disaster-recovery, and auto-tiering. Explore and grow your skills with distributed system design, file protocols (NFS, SMB), network protocols, and other exciting, career-building technologies. Collaborate with a diverse group of engineers, across all levels, through sharing and learning. Acts as a Designated Responsible Individual (DRI) and guides other engineers by developing and following the playbook, working on call to monitor system/product/service for degradation, downtime, or interruptions, alerting stakeholders about status and initiating actions to restore system/product/service for simple and complex problems when appropriate. Qualifications
Required Qualifications: Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or related technical field AND 4+ years technical engineering experience with coding in languages including, but not limited to, C++ or C#. OR equivalent experience. 4+ years of experience in writing highly scalable and multi-threaded backend/infrastructure code in C++. Other Requirements: Ability to meet Microsoft, customer, and/or government security screening requirements are required for this role. These requirements include, but are not limited to the following specialized security screenings: Microsoft Cloud Background Check. Preferred Qualifications: 1+ years developing applications for Windows using the Win32 API. 1+ years storage/file systems experience and knowledge. The typical base pay range for this role across the U.S. is USD $119,800 - $234,700 per year. There is a different range applicable to specific work locations, within the San Francisco Bay area and New York City metropolitan area, and the base pay range for this role in those locations is USD $158,400 - $258,000 per year. Certain roles may be eligible for benefits and other compensation. Microsoft will accept applications for the role until July 29, 2025. Microsoft is an equal opportunity employer.
