About The Position

Azure Resource Notifications (ARN) is the pub/sub service for the Azure control plane. Our mission is to deliver effective, reliable, efficient, and compliant push notifications for all Azure resources.

ARN is the one stop place to subscribe to notifications for changes to Azure resources and completions of control plane operations. We strive to enable our partners and customers to adopt stream-based data processing patterns so that they can build more reactive and responsive near-real-time applications. ARN powers the at-scale collection and routing of inventory data for Azure and our customers and establishes and enforces standards for how resources should be modeled and organized. We work with services across Azure to source up-to-date resource information and distribute it reliably, compliantly, and with low latency to internal and external customers. We process billions of ingress and egress notifications daily and our data volume is doubling every 6 months.

As a Senior Software Engineer in ARN you will help execute critical initiatives to address various aspects of the platform, e.g., reliability, scalability, security, as well as contribute to strategic investments in new areas to address the growing needs of Azure and our customers. You will refine your existing skills and develop new expertise in building high scale distributed systems, empowering customers, and working across organizational boundaries. This is a flexible opportunity that allows for remote work.

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.
