Software Engineer 2

Team - Azure Redis Cache 

The Azure Redis Cache team provides customers with secure, dedicated Redis cache endpoints, exposed as a service, managed by Microsoft Azure. The service has seen very rapid growth since its inception. As a part of the team, you will be working on exciting technologies, both proprietary and open source. 

The problems we are trying to solve are both interesting and challenging: building a reliable, highly available and performant in-memory data store that is simple, cheap to operate and easy to use with rich server-side APIs and capabilities and robust, developer-friendly client experiences.  We are a relatively small team that manages a very large number of resources in Azure, so come ready to work at cloud scale while still maintaining a small-team environment.

The software you build will help run some of the most important services running in Azure. You will be part of a talented team where learning from peers and growing as a team is a core theme.
