Do you want to be part of a high-energy and creative team that is currently building the future of the Azure platform? Do you love to contribute to Linux and the open-source community across the globe? We are the Azure Linux Group rt Microsoft. Azure Linux powers critical Azure services ranging from Azure Kubernetes Service in the cloud to Azure Nexus on the Edge. We’re growing and looking to add engineering talent who will help us build great teams and lead the technology direction as we create and enable Azure Linux at scale across the Azure fleet.
In this role, you will contribute to the technical direction in how Azure first party services and edge appliances use Linux and contribute to our Linux OS efforts ranging from security initiatives to new platform bring-up.

If you love to build distributed systems and OS components both in the kernel and user mode with great teams to solve large-scale enterprise challenges and enjoy working on system-level design and implementations, this is the right place for you! Microsoft loves Linux and Open Source, come join us if you do too.
