Job Description

Overview

Microsoft is a company where passionate innovators come to collaborate, envision what can be and take their careers further. This is a world of more possibilities, more innovation, more openness, and the sky is the limit thinking in a cloud-enabled world.



Microsoft's Azure Data engineering team is leading the transformation of analytics in the world of data with products like databases, data integration, big data analytics, messaging & real-time analytics, and business intelligence. The products our portfolio include Microsoft Fabric, Azure SQL DB, Azure Cosmos DB, Azure PostgreSQL, Azure Data Factory, Azure Synapse Analytics, Azure Service Bus, Azure Event Grid, and Power BI. Our mission is to build the data platform for the age of AI, powering a new class of data-first applications and driving a data culture.


Within Azure Data, the messaging and real-time analytics team provides comprehensive solutions and a robust platform that enables users to ingest high granularity signals (real-time & observability) and complex data, converting those into a competitive advantage in real-time for both end users and modern applications.


We are the Fabric Eventstream & connector team, the gateway for all streaming and real-time data flowing into Microsoft Fabric - from anywhere. Our platform enables data engineers and analysts to easily ingest, transform, and act on data-in motion; powering event-driven, real-time and agentic applications and unlocking new use cases across our global user base.


We do not just value differences or different perspectives. We seek them out and invite them in so we can tap into the collective power of everyone in the company. As a result, our customers are better served.

Responsibilities

Design and deliver highly available, low?latency distributed streaming services (partitioning, back?pressure, exactly/at?least?once semantics, replay, ordering) that power Fabric Event Streams. Build and evolve messaging integrations (Kafka/AMQP/HTTP) and connectors for Azure Event Hubs/IoT Hub/Service Bus, including schema handling, system properties, and observability. Drive reliability and live?site excellence--telemetry, SLOs, auto?mitigation, on?call rotations--and ship durable fixes that improve MTTR/MTBF. Advance platform capabilities such as Customer?Managed Keys (CMK), network isolation, and AAD?based authZ across Event Streams resources. Collaborate across teams (Event Hubs, ASA, Kusto, Fabric Platform) to deliver end?to?end streaming scenarios and developer experiences.

Embody our culture and values

Hands?on experience with stream processing or messaging (e.g., Azure Event Hubs, Kafka, Service Bus, Flink/Spark/ASA), including throughput, latency, and reliability trade?offs. Demonstrated service reliability ownership (telemetry, alerting, on?call, incident response, postmortems, SLOs). Proven ability to frame ambiguous problems, design clear interfaces/contracts, and ship incrementally in partnership with PM/UX and platform teams Deep familiarity with Kafka protocol/AMQP, event envelope/system properties, and schema management for heterogeneous event types. Experience building observability for streaming systems (watermarks, lag, throughput, out?of?order handling) and workspace?level monitoring in Fabric/Kusto. Security & compliance with data platforms: CMK, RBAC/AAD, private networking/NSP, and multi?tenant isolation.
