Overview
Azure is the world’s leading cloud offering, trusted by hundreds of millions of users worldwide. As customers increasingly depend on large‑scale cloud compute for mission‑critical workloads, Microsoft continues to invest deeply in building reliable, scalable, and efficient compute infrastructure.
The Compute Fleet Infrastructure Team builds and operates the foundational layer of the Azure platform that all higher‑level services depend on. This team is responsible for the software systems that provision, manage, scale, and operate Azure’s global compute fleet, forming the backbone that enables reliability, performance, security, and cost efficiency at cloud scale.
In this role, you will work with experienced engineers to design, build, and operate distributed systems and automation frameworks that support large‑scale compute infrastructure. You will contribute production‑quality code, improve operational reliability, and gain deep exposure to how Azure operates at planetary scale.
We value engineers who are self-driven, and provide thought leadership in bringing innovation to our products and engineering practices.
Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.
