Through our deep engineering engagements with customers and teams across Microsoft, we analyze and amplify customer needs and drive the vision to improve Cloud quality, security, and reliability. Our culture of growth mindset and empowerment are central to who we are and how we work. 

We are customer-obsessed problem-solvers. We orchestrate deep engagements in areas like incident management, support, and enablement. We analyze and amplify those customer voices, both within our own team, and across the Cloud + AI team, bringing the customer connection to the Quality vision for Azure. We innovate ways to scale what we learn across our customer base.  Diversity and inclusion are central to who we are, how we work, and what we enable our customers to achieve. We know that empowering our customers starts with empowering our team to show up authentically, work in ways that are best for them, and achieve their career goals. Azure Reliability team is a multidisciplinary engineering organization part of CXP dedicated to making, “Azure the safest and most reliable Cloud”. 

We are the Azure Reliability team; a multidisciplinary engineering organization committed to making Azure the world’s safest and most reliable cloud. For Azure’s most critical services and products, we apply a Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) approach. Our software engineers work closely with product teams to enhance availability, reliability, observability, and operability across our planet-scale systems. 

We prioritize long-term platform improvements through engineering over repetitive manual tasks. Increasingly, we leverage AI to amplify our ability to scale reliability across Azure. Our teams contribute to product architecture, share knowledge and code, and focus on building reusable solutions that benefit multiple teams and services.  

As the SRE discipline evolves, we continuously learn from industry peers and contribute to its advancement by innovating within our group and sharing our insights publicly. Our team brings diverse professional backgrounds, both traditional and non-traditional, and we’re committed to growing diversity. We believe that an inclusive environment where everyone feels safe to contribute leads to better teams, better products, and a better workplace. We’re not looking for people who know it all; we’re looking for those eager to learn it all. If you thrive on collaboration, embrace challenges, and see mistakes as opportunities to grow, we’d love to meet you. 

Every day, our customers stake their business and reputation on our cloud. You can help #AzCXP provide our customers with the world-class cloud services they need to succeed.

Responsibilities

Billions of users across the world rely on our products, and to meet this demand we design and implement world-class distributed systems.   

As a Software Engineer in one of our Azure SRE teams, you will be responsible for improving the reliability of key Azure products.  

The Azure SRE key focus areas are: 

Defining system reliability goals through Service Level Objectives (SLOs). Enhancing production posture with targeted improvements in observability and operability (telemetry, alerting, incident/change management, safe deployment practices).

Building reusable automation and processes that help multiple teams meet their reliability goals. Influencing product architecture and roadmaps to ensure customer-experienced reliability is a core design principle.

Contributing directly to product code to achieve reliability outcomes. Leveraging AI to proactively detect anomalies, predict incidents, and automate operational workflows - scaling reliability efforts across complex systems.

We are looking for engineers passionate about the above areas who are also interested in:  

Designing and developing large-scale distributed software services and solutions. Delivering “best-in-class” engineering by ensuring services are modular, secure, reliable, testable, diagnosable, observable, and reusable.

Collaborating with internal and external partners to support team goals. Balancing pragmatism with vision - driving continuous improvements in process and codebase. Building automation to prevent or remediate service issues before they impact users.

Driving innovation in large-scale operations by applying cutting-edge AI tools and techniques to reduce operational toil and scale reliability engineering across complex systems.

Gaining a working understanding of Microsoft businesses and contributing to cohesive, end-to-end user experiences.
