Senior Software Engineering

The Azure Redis Cache team provides customers with secure, dedicated Redis cache endpoints, exposed as a service, managed by Microsoft Azure. The service has seen rapid growth since its inception and is a critical component in cloud-native application development.

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer who will be working on technologies, both proprietary and open source. We are a growing team that cares deeply about investing in our engineers along with our product. We prioritize collaboration, technical growth, and maintaining an inclusive and positive work environment. The problems we are trying to solve are interesting and challenging: building a reliable, highly-available and performant in-memory data store that is simple, cheap to operate and easy to use with rich server-side APIs and capabilities and robust, developer-friendly client experiences. We manage a very large number of resources in Azure, so come ready to work at cloud scale while maintaining a small-team environment!

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.

In alignment with our Microsoft values, we are committed to cultivating an inclusive work environment for all employees to positively impact our culture every day.
