Positions: SDE for Big Data Cloud Services

Azure Big Data Cloud Services and Cosmos are key components of Microsoft’s big data strategy. We have exciting opportunities for engineers at all levels!

Cosmos is a massively-parallel distributed system comprised of tens of thousands of commodity servers, coordinating to provide vast reliable storage and stunning computation power. Every day we process hundreds of petabytes of data from Azure, Bing, AdCenter, MSN, and Windows Live. Every day we run thousands of computations that read and write petabytes of data. The underlying service needs to be unimaginably fast, and it needs to be rock-solid reliable.

The Cosmos Team (part of the overall Big Data Cloud Services team) is on path to scale to exabytes of storage in coming years. Our users run computations over the sum corpora of human knowledge - multiple copies of the world-wide-web and all of the structured data/imagery linked from it. A ‘small’ computation for us reasons over terabytes of storage within a few seconds; computations that read petabytes are becoming more and more common.

The Big Data team in C&E is effectively part of a bigger team located in Both Bellevue, WA, USA and Beijing.

Big Data team in C&E is looking for developers to help advance the state of the art in multiple areas, such as, Front End cloud services, Services management and Telemetry/Analytics. The engineer will design, implement, and deliver one or more important Big Data services, components, or tools.
