About the position
Interested in building core infrastructure that powers configuration across Azure? We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the team behind Azure’s configuration distribution platform—a foundational system responsible for delivering configuration securely and reliably at scale. This service plays a critical role in how cloud services across Azure operate, deploy, and stay resilient. Our platform addresses one of the most complex challenges in cloud systems: distributing configuration across dynamic, large-scale fleets of microservices, containers, and virtual machines (VMs) that are continuously scaling and evolving across multiple regions. You’ll work on highly visible, technically demanding problems—designing and implementing scalable, fault-tolerant systems that improve reliability across the stack. This is a great opportunity to make a platform-level impact while working alongside engineers who are passionate about solving hard infrastructure problems. This Senior Software Engineer role offers the opportunity to take ownership of key components in Azure’s configuration distribution platform—a foundational system within our cloud architecture. You’ll design and build distributed systems that handle scale, reliability, and security under real-world conditions. Working closely with technical leads and partner teams, you’ll help evolve the platform’s architecture, contribute to critical design decisions, and implement features that directly impact how services across Azure operate. The role offers deep technical challenges, cross-team visibility, and the chance to shape the future of platform-wide configuration infrastructure. You'll bring a systems-thinking mindset, write robust and maintainable code, and mentor engineers while continuing to grow your own technical leadership. With up to 100% flexibility for remote work, this position supports long-term development in both depth and influence.
