Azure is one of the fastest-growing businesses in Microsoft’s history. The Azure Core team is at the heart of this growth, building and managing the foundational platform that powers compute, storage, and networking services. We’re excited to offer you the opportunity to help shape the future of cloud computing—come join us and learn more!
Our team, Azure Host Storage, is responsible for delivering the storage virtualization platform that supports Azure Virtual Machines, Azure Kubernetes Service, and containers. We own the entire storage stack on the Azure host, including input/output (IO) handling, data caching, throttling, quality of service, data encryption, and hardware offloading of IO processing. Our team has built the interposer and storage virtualization for the next generation of ultra-fast, industry-leading local Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) solid-state drives (SSDs) with Azure Boost, which offers 36 gigabytes per second (GBps) throughput and 6.6 million input/output operations per second (IOPS).
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.
