Titan is a microservices platform that runs the cloud at massive scale. We're on a mission to define the next generation of datacenter and service architecture that allows us to scale to a rapidly growing fleet and new customer scenarios.We are part of Titan team that manages data plane workflows across millions of machines. We are looking for world-class software developers to help us continue to evolve, expand, and define our software platform and micro-service infrastructure. Some of the many areas we are tackling include improving reliability and availability for our agents and ring-0, ring-1 services to 5-9s, managing and enhancing agent operations on millions of blades, fault-tolerance, distributed service monitoring, agent operational efficiency within the datacenter lifecycle, performance metrics collection/analysis, alerting, visualization, agent operations, and coordination of machine diagnostics and repairs.This is a fun and fast-paced environment and an opportunity to work on something highly strategic to Microsoft and extremely relevant in the industry. There are very few opportunities in Computer Science which have the potential impact to work at the massive scale like we do. If you're like us and passionate about building robust highly distributed software systems defining the backbone to the Microsoft Cloud, let's talk. Microsoft's mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more.
