OverviewAzure Compute is Azure's most profitable business and is growing incredibly fast! We provide millions of virtual machines for customers to run their workload in the cloud. We are a globally available foundational service that hosts services with the scale of Bing/Skype/AzureStore/SQL, host millions of multiplayer gaming sessions and allow solving large computational problems in seconds. Azure Compute team is the "kernel" of Microsoft's Cloud OS. We build a fault tolerant distributed system on top of commodity datacenter hardware, to deliver an infrastructure for hosting cloud applications in virtual servers. We create an illusion that resources are limitless, infinitely elastic, and always available.Kronox is a team which helps customers manage Virtual Machines at scale by providing a simple way to set-up/destroy the resources at predefined schedule and do it as quickly as possible to optimize COGs. This becomes an exercise in constantly balancing the tradeoffs between higher SLA (resources are available when needed) and COGs (resources should not be running longer than needed). This puts the team at the intersection of large-scale distributed systems and advanced data science and ML prediction model.If you're interested in attacking hard technical problems and driving innovation in an area that has huge potential for impact on the company's future, then this is THE position for you.
