Come join Azure Sphere and work with a talented team to build a platform for secure Internet of Things (IoT) devices that integrate cutting-edge hardware, software, and services!  We are looking for a Senior Software Development Engineer with a growth mindset to collaborate, design and code the system software and operating system components for secure Arm based SoC for IoT. Thousands of businesses are undergoing a digital transformation to connect embedded devices to the Internet.  An important aspect of this is security. Insecure embedded devices not only allow bad actors into secure networks, but they can also be repurposed to attack others or the internet itself.  These threats aren’t theoretical.  Examples of all of these can be found in today’s headlines. Our team is building an end-to-end secure platform for IoT devices with the potential to secure billions of devices worldwide and restore trust in things people use every day.

As a Senior Software Development Engineer on the OS Kernel team you will work with a diverse set of talented engineers with different backgrounds and skill levels to design, code, test, and deploy systems code to enable new silicon and support existing Azure Sphere solutions.  The OS Kernel team is responsible for the lower-level systems software as well as end-to-end functionality across the software and hardware stack.  This includes the Linux-based kernel, power management, performance, storage, over-the-air update and more.  We write new systems level code as well as integrate existing 3rd party components, while facing challenging constraints in processing, memory, storage, and bandwidth.  Working at the hardware-software boundary on these devices requires high quality code that is small, performs well, and is highly maintainable. 

You will work closely with Enterprise customers, hardware manufacturers, and partner teams at lower and higher levels on the software stack on a variety of topics.  As a Senior Software Engineer, you will design, build, and extend the base platform on existing and emerging SoCs used by Microsoft and its partners to produce cutting-edge real-world IoT Products.  You will also help to provide technical leadership, coaching, and mentoring to your peers.  You will identify or design processes and procedures to improve your own productivity and the productivity of your coworkers.

Come join a team that takes Microsoft's values to heart!  Team members have unparalleled opportunities to rapidly learn new skill sets, build pioneering solutions, and get exposure to a wide array of technologies.  To learn more about this exciting project, please visit www.microsoft.com/en-us/azure-sphere.
