Overview
The world is undergoing a transformation to Cloud Computing, and Microsoft is leading the way with an aggressive strategy to extend Azure to sovereign, disconnected, edge, enterprise, and hybrid scenarios. If you are inspired by the kind of innovation this strategy is going to unleash, have a passion for serious engineering, have the skills to build and support production grade services, and are looking for a dynamic and collaborative team environment, come talk to us!
Azure Stack is a key Microsoft initiative to bring the Azure cloud platform to customers who cannot adopt one of the public Azure offerings. Our team builds integration APIs and features to enable hardware device management scenario (provisioning, health, monitoring, FRU), and work with hardware partners to architect complete end to end solutions.
We are looking for software Engineer with a diverse range of backgrounds and experience, but who value passion, creativity, team work, agility, accountability and desire to learn new complex technical areas. We are committed to a growth mindset and relentlessly improving every day. We consider software engineering to be a craft, and we are always looking for better and smarter ways of working. We are interested in smart, motivated individuals, with positive can-do attitude, who come to work with a smile and enjoy writing clean and elegant code.
