Microsoft Azure is building the fastest and secure network in public clouds. We are seeking candidates who can span the stack from hardware to systems to applications, turning ideas into production systems at a rapid pace, and redefining the hardware design methodology. Join us as a Hardware Engineer to build the world's fastest public cloud and make a difference to millions of people across the planet.

As a Hardware Engineer ll in the Accelnet hardware team, you will be responsible for architecting, designing, validating, and deploying networking acceleration for Azure Boost -- the largest deployment of FPGA SmartNICs in the world. You will develop co-designed accelerators for software defined Networking (SDN) in Azure Boost that includes packet processors, reduces virtualization overhead, and improves connection setup performance for general and custom networking protocols. You should be able to collaborate with both hardware and software teams and deliver these solutions.

This is a unique opportunity for hardware developers to see their designs reach production within weeks instead of years, or for software developers to tap into the performance and efficiency of customized hardware. Come help build one of the few truly hyperscale global clouds with innovations possible at every level of the computing stack.

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