About The Position

Azure is a global cloud platform that powers Microsoft services such as Microsoft Teams, Office, Bing, and SQL, as well as public cloud offerings for customers worldwide. Capacity management—how workloads are allocated to servers, how access is granted, and how capacity buffers are maintained—is critical to Azure’s success. The Azure Core team is investing in this area to enhance and optimize platform capacity management and efficiency capabilities. As a Software Engineer II, you will join the Azure Compute Capacity Optimization Team (ACCOT) to deliver scalable capacity management services and optimized efficiency solutions. You will work on fundamental layers of the Azure Control Plane technology stack, including the Azure Allocator and Holmes service, which manage workload migration across Azure datacenters. You will also contribute to services such as Compute Capacity Central (CCC), which track and manage capacity usage, maintain buffers, and provide telemetry. Your work will include designing solutions that allocate and migrate workloads efficiently within and across datacenters. In this role, you will collaborate with engineers, data scientists, and partner teams across Azure Core to build services that improve customer experience and platform efficiency. You will focus on availability, scalability, and operability for Azure compute platform capacity and efficiency. This position offers opportunities for mentorship, career growth, and hands-on experience with large-scale distributed systems and data engineering solutions.
