Principal Software Engineer - Azure Resource Graph

OverviewAzure Resource Graph's (ARG part of ARM(Azure Resource Manager)/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 & 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.As a Principal Software Engineer in ARG, you will lead product architecture and a few critical initiatives to evolve inventory platform for the upcoming needs in the space of connected query-ability. You will help build the next generation connected graph of billions of resources and trillions of edges and provide query-ability with standard authorization engine at large input scopes along with ambitious performance goals. This opportunity will allow you to exercise your skills in the areas of distributed systems, runtime, database/store internals to build the necessary infrastructure for Azure for the mission which we call code named Project Galaxy effort. This role will also help you build develop deep business acumen about Azure. You will create clarity for the team and mentor team members by creating a sense of purpose on this mission.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. ResponsibilitiesYou are responsible for the technical design and vision for building the necessary underlying systems to enable query-ability on the massively large, connected graph cloud inventory to serve billions of resources per day to the callers.You are responsible for optimizing the runtime of the distributed system and the query engine to achieve ambitious performance goals right from the entry point of the cloud to the lowest layer in the architecture and everything in between.You will leverage the standard authorization engine of the cloud for secure access control across the system while not compromising on the performant corpus query-ability scale.You will work closely with cross-functional teams across Azure Core and Microsoft to drive architecture, design, and development of Project Galaxy effort.You lead by example. You are a hands-on practitioner of standards in the team, organization.You will provide strong technical leadership, raising the technical bar, maintaining data andresults-drivenculture, nurture a team culture of high collaboration and trust.Your ability to balance the long-term architecture while delivering the incremental milestones with simplicity and maintainability as coretenets will advance the Galaxy effort semester over semester towards the North Star goals.
