OverviewThe Microsoft Resource Graph (MRG)-part of the Microsoft Resource Manager (MRM) and Azure Control Plane-has a mission to reliably organize the planet-scale cloud inventory and make it accessible to every Azure customer through scalable and high-performance tools. MRG serves as the inventory of cloud resources, dependencies, services, applications, and Azure metadata. It is a core service that enables nearly all Azure experiences and workloads running on the platform. The Azure Portal, Azure Marketplace, Search, and Catalog at-scale experience scenarios for every Azure customer are powered by ARG. It provides a single pane of glass to query cloud resources using a set of flexible standards with rich, scalable, and efficient constructs. These standards and toolsets are used by both large customers and internal Microsoft teams. ARG's vision is to empower any customer-large or small-to organize, govern, secure, manage, and explore their environments at scale. Everything the team designs, develops, or delivers aligns with this vision. As of today, MRG returns over 6.5 billion cloud resources per day through these standards to customers and independent software vendors. As a Principal Software Engineer-Microsoft Resource Graph, you will lead product architecture and several critical initiatives to evolve the inventory platform for emerging needs in connected query capabilities. You will help build the next-generation connected graph of billions of resources and trillions of edges, enabling query functionality with a standard authorization engine across large input scopes while meeting ambitious performance goals. This opportunity allows you to apply your expertise in distributed systems, runtime environments, and database or storage internals to build the infrastructure necessary for Microsoft's Inventory Graph mission. The role also offers the chance to develop deep business acumen about Azure, create clarity for the team, and mentor others by fostering a strong sense of purpose. 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.
ResponsibilitiesYou are responsible for building large scale distributed systems across the backend stack of Gateways, APIs(application program interface), Stores, and Ingestion services.You are responsible for the technical design and vision for building the necessary underlying systems to enable query-ability on the massively large, connected graph cloud inventory to serve billions of resources per day to the callers.You are responsible for optimizing the runtime of the distributed system and the query engine to achieve ambitious performance goals right from the entry point of the cloud to the lowest layer in the architecture and everything in between.You will leverage the standard authorization engine of the cloud for secure access control across the system while not compromising on the performant corpus query-ability scale.You will work closely with cross-functional teams across Azure Core and Microsoft to drive architecture, design, and development of Microsoft Resource Graph Platform.
