Software Engineering

We do not just value differences or different perspectives. We seek them out and invite them in so we can tap into the collective power of everyone in the company. As a result, our customers are better served.

 
As a Software Engineer, you will write code for our Fabric-based SaaS platform, build and test new features, and debug distributed systems. You will work with Spark and Spark-based extension frameworks, use AI tools in your daily workflow, and help maintain HDInsight components in production. This role will accelerate your growth in distributed systems, cloud platform engineering, and large-scale data infrastructure.  

Successful candidates will have experience in one or more of these areas: designing and coding cloud-scale SaaS products; building data lakes or data engineering tools; working with big data technologies such as Spark, Kafka, Hadoop, or HBase; enterprise software development in C#, Scala, Java, or Python; and working with the Azure stack (Storage, Compute, Networking, Fabric, Purview, Synapse, AKS, DevOps, Data Factory, Power BI).
