Project Falcon helps developers in the WebXT Org to build, deploy and run microservices at scale. The team builds and owns an SDK that serves over 500 mission critical services, clocking over 2M QPS powering web scale apps like Bing Web Search. The team is currently building out the next generation containerization solution to enable smooth and efficient migration of services from the bare-metal hardware to Kubernetes clusters. We are building one of the largest Kubernetes cluster fleets in the world managing tens of thousands of servers across the globe with high agility, reliability and scalability with the aim to run every single workload, both offline and online.

We are required to solve some hard infrastructure management problems at very web scale with the aim of high availability and low latencies that our demanding workloads expect, around 30ms @ 99 th percentile, while optimizing the COGS.

We are targeting to have the best-in-class developer experience and DRI tooling which will increase the developer productivity and agility multifold. We strongly believe that developers should be focusing on solving their end-user problems than solving infrastructure problems.

We are envisioning exponential growth of the platform so are looking engineers who love to:

• work on large-scale, distributed systems

• solve hard infrastructure problems

• simplify infrastructure to enable other engineers to be productive in solving their customer needs

Responsibilities

• Design and develop large scale cluster fleet management infrastructure to manage diverse resources with high availability, resiliency and agility

• Framework should provide end-to-end solutioning by leveraging opensource technologies with sound software engineering practices.

• Collaborate with different engineering teams across the organizationto provide both the technical and operational support.

• Incorporate feedbackfrom our partner engineering teams to drive long-term strategic improvements to the platform.

• Liaisewith various Azure teams such as Compute, Networking and Azure Kubernetes Service to adopt cutting-edge features and influence the product roadmaps of Azure services.

• Provide technical leadership and mentor junior members ofthe team.

Qualifications

• A Bachelors orMaster’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent field

• 10+ years of industry software development experience

• 3+ years of experience design, implement and operating distributed systems.

• Experience in Golang, .NET,C#, C++, Java
