Microsoft Azure is one of the fastest-growing cloud platforms in the world, empowering organizations of all sizes to build, deploy, and manage applications across a global network of Microsoft-managed datacenters. Azure Networking is the backbone of Microsoft’s global cloud infrastructure, connecting millions of devices and services across the globe with high availability, low latency, and enterprise-grade security. It encompasses a vast array of services including Azure Virtual Network, Azure Load Balancer, Azure Application Gateway, Azure Firewall, Azure Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Protection, and Azure Front Door. As security threats evolve and the attack surface expands, safeguarding our customers’ applications and data is paramount.
The Azure Web Application Firewall (WAF) is a critical component of Microsoft’s cloud-native security platform, providing intelligent threat detection and mitigation for web applications. The WAF team operates at the forefront of cloud-scale security, building high-performance, globally distributed services that protect millions of users and critical workloads every day.
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help shape the future of Azure WAF. You will design and build scalable, secure, and intelligent services that protect mission-critical applications from evolving threats. This is a high-impact role with the opportunity to influence Microsoft's cloud security posture and make a tangible difference in protecting customers worldwide.
If you are an engineer with a track record of delivering high quality services, passion to build and grow people, and the excitement to operate in a startup culture while delivering services with enterprise level maturity, this is a great opportunity for you to take the next step in your career. This is a high visibility position in an area of large and expanding investment for Azure and offers a terrific opportunity to innovate, influence, transform, and grow! Our culture promotes diversity and inclusion and is clearly reflected in all the things we do. Diversity is more than a commitment for us - it is the foundation of what we do.
Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.
