OverviewThe Azure Redis Cache team provides customers with secure, dedicated Redis cache endpoints, exposed as a service, managed by Microsoft Azure. The service has seen rapid growth since its inception and is a critical component in cloud-native application development. We are looking for a Software Engineer II who will be working on technologies, both proprietary and open source. We are a growing team that cares deeply about investing in our engineers along with our product. We prioritize collaboration, technical growth, and maintaining an inclusive and positive work environment. The problems we are trying to solve are interesting and challenging: building a reliable, highly-available and performant in-memory data store. Our new offerings feature the latest Redis innovations, industry-leading availability and a cost-effective total cost of ownership (TCO) designed for the hyperscale cloud. We deliver these capabilities on a trusted cloud platform, empowering businesses to scale and optimize their generative AI applications seamlessly. So come ready to work at cloud scale while maintaining a small-team environment! You have the flexibility to work remotely up to 50% of the time. Microsoft's mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond. In alignment with our Microsoft values, we are committed to cultivating an inclusive work environment for all employees to positively impact our culture every day.
