Microsoft has been a leading company in computing for decades. We are a global service, relied on by governments, utilities, schools, and co-operatives to deliver the things they need to work, every day.
To make this work for our customers, we need continual effort to make that delivery reliable. To drive reliability, we are looking for individuals who already are, or is interested in becoming, a Site Reliability Engineer II (also known as SRE).
SREs are people who take engineering-based approaches to solve operations problems: we like infrastructure, we like seeing how big complicated things work, and most importantly, we gain fulfillment from making it better. We have backgrounds in lots of things -- of course, Computer Science, System Administration, Networking, Mathematics, and Engineering generally, but you can also find individuals who've worked in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Statistics, and even English.
The OneDrive SharePoint (ODSP) team is seeking a Site Reliability Engineer II. SREs build, monitor, and maintain the systems and infrastructure that ensure our customers can quickly access their data and run workloads whenever and wherever they need to. We identify service problems and areas for improvement, and we follow up by fixing those problems. Our work is key to the success of many of the Microsoft services you'll have heard of, and a number you haven't. There are very few bits of Microsoft which aren't touched by SREs in some way or other. SREs come in two kinds: SRE-SWE (people with a software engineering background), and SRE-SE (people with a systems engineering background).
Since how software is written determines the behavior of a system generally, often in subtle or initially misunderstood ways, an SRE-SWE cares deeply about software quality and how software is constructed. Release processes, safe deployments, measuring performance, and similar concerns beyond pure functionality are important to SREs and are relevant to improving reliability. If this resonates with you, we'd like to connect!
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.
