We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer!

The Azure Core organization provides the fundamental building blocks that the rest of Azure, and hence many Microsoft and customer services are built off. This consists of well-known primitives such as networking, compute and storage, but also bare-metal and utility services which enables Azure to scale in a cohesive and reliable way.

Each of the service teams are responsible for their own security, with the Azure Core Security Engineering team partnering cross-service, spanning the organization, to identify, build, and deliver security solutions such as “secure by default”, “enhanced logging and detection”, and “micro-segmentation”. As an engineer in the Azure Core Security Engineering team you’ll have the opportunity to work broadly across Azure, with world-class engineers, improving security not just internally but for customers as well.

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.
