OverviewIt is a mobile first, cloud first world and we're empowering it. Microsoft Azure is at the heart of the Microsoft Cloud providing the backend infrastructure for hyper-scale distributed and dynamic computing.

Some of the many areas we are tackling include ring 0 and (-1) core infrastructure services, five 9s (99.999%) reliability, fault-tolerance, distributed service monitoring, operational efficiency within the datacenter hardware lifecycle, performance metrics collection/analysis, alerting, visualization, device operations, and coordination of node diagnostics and repairs.This is a fun and fast-paced environment and a great opportunity to work on something highly strategic to Microsoft and extremely relevant in the industry.
