OverviewAzure Resource Graph's (ARG part of Azure Resource Management (ARM)/Azure Control plane) mission is to reliably organize the planet-scale cloud inventory and making it accessible to every Azure customer through scalable, and performant tools. ARG is the Inventory of cloud resources, dependencies, services, apps and Azure metadata and is a core service enabling almost all Azure experiences and workloads that are running on top of Azure. Azure Portal, Azure Market Place, Search, Catalog at-scale experiences scenarios for every single Azure customer are powered by ARG. It provides a single pane of glass to query cloud resources via a set of flexible standards with rich scalable, efficient constructs. These standards and toolsets are used by large customers and first party teams alike. ARG's vision is to enable any customer (large to small) to organize, govern, secure, manage and explore their environments at-scale. Anything we design, develop, or deliver aligns with this vision. As of today, we return close to 6.5+ billion cloud resources per day through these standards to our customers and independent software vendors. This position is one of the core engineering functions and sits right in the center of the platform enabling various other connected engineering functions.As a Senior Software Engineer - Azure Resource Graph, you will design, build, and maintain the core services that enable almost all Azure experiences and workloads. You will work on developing scalable and efficient constructs that provide a single pane of glass to query cloud resources, ensuring that large customers and first-party teams can organize, govern, secure, manage, and explore their environments at scale. This opportunity will allow you to accelerate your career growth, develop deep technical expertise in cloud resource management, and become adept at designing and implementing high-performance systems.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.
ResponsibilitiesDrive critical platform initiatives to scale with Azure's growing needs, focusing on building high-throughput ingestion and querying infrastructure for cloud metadata and graph relationships.Own technical design, implementation, and delivery of systems that span distributed services, APIs, ingestion pipelines, and scalable storage.Contribute to performance tuning across the stack-from gateway services to runtime query engines-ensuring responsiveness and efficiency at large data volumes.Collaborate with engineers across Azure Core to ensure secure, reliable, and observable service operation at global scale.Work on integrating AI-assisted capabilities (e.g., auto-tagging, anomaly detection, smart recommendations) into resource inventory using machine learning pipelines or inference APIs.Contribute to intelligent search and natural language querying features by partnering with teams working on Azure OpenAI and Azure Cognitive Search.Grow technical depth in distributed systems, runtime internals, and optional database technologies, while contributing reusable building blocks across the platform.Mentor engineers, uphold engineering best practices, and foster a collaborative, high-trust team environment.Understand and evolve platform architecture with a balance of short-term delivery and long-term sustainability. | |
