Overview

APIs are the foundation of our connected, digital world. Azure API Management enables companies building APIs to publish, describe, secure, manage, and monitor their APIs so they can focus on delivering the functionality developers need while we provide the underlying infrastructure.

We’re looking for a Software Engineer 2 – CoreAI who wants to work on a rapidly growing service that is deeply connected to its customers and help grow the product across serverless, hybrid, and Kubernetes environments.

You’ll have the opportunity to build features that can be immediately deployed and validated, while contributing to the testing, support, and diagnosis of live systems. We’re looking for an engineer to drive a critical area within API Management—someone who can independently produce high-quality solutions while contributing to and benefiting from a collaborative, dynamic team environment.

We live in Azure, embrace an AI-first engineering culture, and use modern cloud and open-source technologies to build and operate services at scale. We’re part of an organization whose mission is to deliver the Azure Application Platform.

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 Microsoft’s values, we are committed to cultivating an inclusive work environment where all employees can positively impact our culture every day.
