We are part of the Azure Core – Virtual Machine Scale Sets (VMSS) team, building the infrastructure that enables millions of virtual machines to run, scale, and support critical workloads across the globe. Virtual Machine Scale Sets are a foundational component of Microsoft Azure, delivering elasticity, reliability, and performance at hyperscale. Our mission is to make Azure the world’s computer, powering everything from enterprise applications and big data analytics to cloud-native services and artificial intelligence clusters.

As members of the VMSS team, we design and develop systems that allow customers to deploy, scale, and manage fleets of virtual machines with ease. We address challenges in orchestration, availability, fault tolerance, disaggregation, and performance optimization to ensure Azure remains the preferred cloud platform for demanding scenarios. Our work adapts to evolving infrastructure, including containers, artificial intelligence accelerators, and disaggregated compute environments.

In the role of Senior Software Engineer, you will lead features that directly influence how customers scale their services on Azure. You will design and implement systems operating across millions of virtual machines, collaborate across Azure to deliver scale and reliability, and drive innovation in availability and efficiency. This position offers the opportunity to work with cutting-edge technologies, solve complex technical problems, and contribute to one of the most critical and impactful services in Azure Core.

Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more.
