Software Development Engineer in Test II

Job Category: Software Engineering: Test
Location: United States, WA, Redmond
Job ID: 809440
Product: Windows Azure
Division: Server & Tools Business

“We’re all in” for cloud computing. Windows Azure is Microsoft’s Operating System for the Cloud, and Windows Azure Fabric is the “kernel” of Windows Azure.

Windows Azure Fabric is the software layer that manages the server metal and virtual machines for on-demand compute and application hosting, management, and scale across Microsoft’s global cloud footprint. It provides scheduling, resource allocation, device management, fault tolerance, and high-level application models for intelligently hosting services. Like a kernel, it abstracts away the hardware details and mechanical aspects of service management, so developers can focus on building cutting-edge services. It is the foundation of Windows Azure upon which other services are built.

We are looking for strong engineers who can deliver cutting-edge innovations in a fast paced environment. You will grow into an expert in the cloud space as you learn about massive-scale systems with enterprise-class quality and hone your design, analytical, testing and communication skills. And most importantly you will have the opportunity to challenge yourself, work with some of the smartest people, grow your career and make a difference.

As an SDET in our test team, your responsibilities include planning, designing and implementing product tests, designing and building test automation and analysis infrastructure, participating in product design, working closely with Developers & Program Managers, Operations and Partners to ship a quality release of the product. The ideal candidate must possess strong technical aptitude and must be passionate about quality and testing.

A successful candidate will have:
A BS or MS in Computer Science or related field
Passion for Engineering Excellence and learning
Excellent programming skills in C, C++, or C#
Understanding of Distributed Systems, Networking, Virtualization, Performance and Scalability
Great ability to work with other teams and people
Excellent problem solving skills
At least 3+ years of experience in software testing
A proven track record for shipping quality software on time

Windows Azure is a big bet for Microsoft, and we are taking big bets of our own in the Fabric team. If you’re interested in attacking hard technical problems and driving innovation in an area that has huge potential for impact on the company’s future, then this is THE position for you.

Join the Fabric team and help us build the foundation for the cloud to power the future of computing!
