Azure is one of the fastest-growing businesses in Microsoft's history. The Azure Core team plays a central role in this growth by building and managing the foundational platform that powers compute, storage, and networking services. This opportunity invites you to contribute to the future of cloud computing as part of a dynamic and innovative team.

The Azure Host Storage team is responsible for the Storage Virtualization platform that supports Azure Virtual Machines (VMs), Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), and Containers. This team manages the entire storage stack on the Azure Host, including input/output (I/O) handling, data caching, throttling, quality of service (QoS), data encryption, and hardware offloading of I/O processing. The team has developed the interposer and storage virtualization for the next generation of ultra-fast, industry-leading local Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) Solid-State Drives (SSDs) with Azure Boost, which delivers 36 gigabytes per second (GBps) throughput and 6.6 million Input/Output Operations Per Second (IOPS).

As a Senior Software Engineer in the Azure Boost SSD team, you will lead the design and implementation of advanced engineering solutions aimed at improving storage performance, enhancing platform reliability, and optimizing cost efficiency at cloud scale. You will work with cutting-edge Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) technologies, including PCIe Generation 5 (Gen5) and beyond, to architect and deliver next-generation Azure Boost SSD solutions tailored to the demands of large-scale workloads. You will mentor a team of engineers, fostering technical excellence and encouraging innovation as you develop solutions that integrate NVMe SSD functionality into emerging silicon platforms. Your contributions will help shape the future of Azure's storage infrastructure, delivering scalable, low-latency storage solutions with high IOPS per VM, while collaborating with hardware, firmware, and platform teams.

Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. Employees are encouraged to adopt a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to achieve shared goals. The company culture is built on values of respect, integrity, and accountability, fostering an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive both professionally and personally.
