What if your work helped organizations move to the cloud, protect their most critical workloads, and recover when it matters most?
Our team is responsible for some of Azure's most important resiliency and recovery capabilities, helping customers migrate to Azure, safeguard their applications and data, automate operations at scale, and maintain business continuity in the face of unexpected events. We operate in sovereign and air-gapped cloud environments, solving unique engineering challenges that do not exist in traditional public cloud offerings.
As a team member, you'll work at the intersection of cloud infrastructure, resiliency, reliability, and large-scale distributed systems. You'll partner across Azure Compute and Microsoft engineering teams to solve complex technical problems, improve service health, drive operational excellence, and deliver capabilities that support mission-critical government workloads.
We're looking for engineers who are energized by taking ownership, driving problems to resolution, and making systems better than they found them. The ideal candidate is curious, action-oriented, and thrives in an environment where collaboration, initiative, and technical leadership are highly valued. You'll have opportunities to influence engineering decisions, work across organizational boundaries, and see the direct impact of your work on customers and services that matter.
Most importantly, you'll join a team that genuinely enjoys working together. We value learning, mentorship, technical excellence, and supporting one another while tackling some of Azure's most challenging and meaningful problems.
