The products our portfolio include Microsoft Fabric, Azure SQL DB, Azure Cosmos DB, Azure PostgreSQL, Azure Data Factory, Azure Synapse Analytics, Azure Service Bus, Azure Event Grid, and Power BI. Our mission is to build the data platform for the age of AI, powering a new class of data-first applications and driving a data culture.
Within Azure Data, the Microsoft Fabric platform team is looking for a Software Engineer ll - Fabric Graphto build and maintain the operating system and provides customer's unified data stack to run an entire data estate. The platform provides a unified experience, unified governance, enables a unified business model and a unified architecture.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement graph indexing and storage optimization
- Implement distributed graph compute systems
- Query planning, execution
- Develop graph query languages and abstract syntax trees
- Optimize software to maximize throughput, minimize latency, optimize scalability, repairability and maintainability
- Creates a clear and articulated plan for testing and assuring quality of solutions, and defines success for outcomes of tests (e.g., unit tests). Adds new tests, removes antiquated tests, and aggregates tests to improve tests in the feature area. Helps to drive efforts for augmenting test cases and ensures that the solution area has good test coverage. Helps to integrate automation features when planning for testing.
- Creates and implements code for a product, service, or feature, reusing code as applicable. Writes and learns to create code that is extensible and maintainable. Considers diagnosability, reliability, and maintainability with few defects, and understands when the code is ready to be shared and delivered. Applies coding patterns and best practices to write code.
- Supports efforts to apply debugging tools and examines logs, telemetry, and other methods to verify assumptions proactively before issues occur and reactively as issues occur for product features. Conducts retrospective debugging of solutions to identify root causes of problems.
- Contributes to design and implementation of the architecture of graph indexing, query planning or graph compute system; helps to create proposals for architecture by testing design hypotheses and helping to refine code plans, with technical leadership from others.
- Works with appropriate stakeholders (e.g., project manager, technical lead) to determine user requirements for the distributed graph systems. Begins to leverage a variety of feedback channels to incorporate insights into future designs or solution fixes. Incorporates appropriate continuous feedback loops measuring customer value, usage patterns, and other actionable metrics of value.
