Job description
from Microsoft careers
If you are excited by the challenge of designing distributed systems that process petabytes of data for the world's most advanced AI models, this is your team. We are not looking for someone to just write queries or maintain legacy pipelines. We are looking for Systems Builders—engineers who understand the internals of distributed compute, who treat data infrastructure as a product, and who want to architect the backbone of Microsoft Copilot.
Join us to build the "Paved Road" for AI. You will own the platform that transforms raw, massive-scale signals into the fuel that powers training, inference, and evaluation for millions of users. We need someone who is energized by solving hard problems in stream processing, lakehouse architecture, and developer experience.
