Microsoft, Redmond, Washington, United States, 98052
The Virtualization Core Platform team is looking for a talented, highly motivated software engineer to work on foundational components of the Microsoft virtualization stack. We are looking for enthusiastic candidates who can learn quickly and are skilled at design and coding.
Millions of users interact with Hyper-V daily. Hyper-V is the backbone of the cloud and nearly all of Microsoft's online properties, including Azure, are running on Hyper-V. That's millions of virtual machines hosting the services that people use every day.
Join the Virtualization Core Platform team and become a key part of Microsoft's technical strategy. We're at the center of some of the most relevant and rapidly evolving technology areas in the company. We're transforming datacenters and the cloud with classic virtualization technologies as well as exciting new investments in lightweight containers. We’re enabling exciting new technology on Windows desktop systems for mobile application development and security. We are embracing innovation across multiple platforms like Linux and extending our investments in support of Open Source projects.
If you have experience with virtualization technologies, that's fantastic. If not, we want you to bring your current experience to the team and use it to transform yourself into a virtualization expert. In this position, you'll be part of a team of highly capable engineers working on the lowest level components of Microsoft's virtualization platform. You'll be working closely with all of Microsoft's key silicon partners to enable new hardware features and push the boundaries of performance, reliability, security, and more. We're looking for a passionate, innovative, and versatile engineer.
In Core OS, we are responsible for the Operating Systems that power Azure, Microsoft's Linux OS, the platforms for Windows Client and Xbox, and our Windows Server ecosystem. High quality, high-efficiency operating systems and platform components underpin everything we do as a company, from making our systems more reliable for our customers, to increasing our competitiveness by reducing COGS, to delivering new features and capabilities to delight customers.
To deliver on our charter, we’re looking for talented engineers that are motivated to push boundaries and drive innovation in core CPU, memory, and device virtualization. You do not need Windows development experience to be successful in this role. Our team loves Linux too! If you’re someone with a passion for virtualization and kernel development, please apply today!
