Overview
The ObjectStore team is looking for a Senior Software Engineer-Backend to work on the core platform technologies to join us in Redmond, WA in building the next generation of storage and computation fabric using in-house and open source technologies. Now more than ever, we live in an age where AI and cloud services are empowering people around the world to achieve more. Behind these innovative services exists a critical infrastructure that is bringing them to life. On the ObjectStore team, we build the core cloud platform backing Bing and Copilot. ObjectStore has grown to be used across all of Microsoft including Copilot, Bing, Azure, Office, SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, and more. Our product is impacting individuals' lives in scenarios such as web search, AI chat, friends exploring, and local deal finding. Today, ObjectStore has over 10 thousand storage tables worldwide, with 350+ partners across divisions of Microsoft. Over time, ObjectStore has matured from a low latency key-value store into a rich serving platform. It supports features such as auto scaling and healing, full text search, deep learning vector search, and general computation hosting. We learn from and compete with many popular NoSQL, Indexing, and Deep-Learning serving technologies in the industry. These are the hottest domains in the modern cloud infrastructure age that are unlocking the power for AI at scale.
Responsibilities
Our developers design, implement, and rollout features with a data-driven and test-driven methodology. Furthermore, they have the opportunity to work with cutting-edge cloud and machine learning technologies. We are a flat team, so you will participate in agile scrum, collaborate with people who have different domain expertise, and have opportunities to explore and contribute in a variety of areas. You will be hands-on in a massively scaled and distributed system. Team members are expected to:
- Share accountability for a wide array of assets and be comfortable with learning a broad array of technologies.
- Design and implement features in a distributed environment using data to guide and measure success.
- Debug and mitigate incidents in live production environments.
- Participate in regular team scrums and communicate regularly and clearly with team members and leads.
- Look for opportunities to use open source technologies in our service or to share learnings, services, and tools we have created with Microsoft broadly or the open source community.
We are a fast-paced team with product releases every week. If you are self-motivated and want to make a large impact in the cloud serving area, then we are looking forward to meeting you!
