Job Description:

Microsoft’s Azure Data engineering team is leading the transformation of analytics in the world of data with products like databases, data integration, big data analytics, messaging & real-time analytics, and business intelligence. The Azure PostgreSQL team is building advanced, cloud-native capabilities that extend PostgreSQL into a trusted platform for AI workloads. This includes native support for vector search, semantic and full-text indexing, hybrid search patterns, graph queries, and in-database model integration. Most of this work lives inside PostgreSQL extensions and engine-level integrations, with close coupling to the Azure PostgreSQL service runtime. We are looking for a Software Engineer II who is eager to learn, contribute to core systems, and grow into a strong database and systems engineer.

Job Responsibility:

  • Contribute to the design and implementation of AI-native capabilities in PostgreSQL, including vector indexing, semantic and full-text search operators, hybrid search patterns, and graph query features
  • Implement and enhance PostgreSQL extensions and engine-level integrations under the guidance of senior engineers
  • Write high-quality, well-tested code in C, C++, or Rust with a focus on performance, correctness, and maintainability
  • Participate in technical design discussions and code reviews to learn PostgreSQL internals and systems design best practices
  • Collaborate with engineers, product managers, and researchers to translate requirements into working systems
  • Assist with performance analysis, debugging, and tuning of database features in development and production environments
  • Learn and apply best practices for building reliable, observable, and operable systems in a cloud database service
  • Stay curious about research and industry trends in databases, search systems, and AI-powered data platforms
  • Embody our culture and values.

Requirements:

  • Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or related technical field AND technical engineering experience with coding in languages including, but not limited to, C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, or Python
  • Proven technical engineering capabilities, including experience working on backend systems, infrastructure, or performance-sensitive components
  • Proficiency in at least one systems programming language such as C, C++, or Rust, or strong fundamentals with demonstrated ability to ramp up quickly
  • Experience building, testing, and maintaining production quality software in a collaborative engineering environment
  • Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, and systems fundamentals
  • Ability to meet Microsoft, customer and/or government security screening requirements are required for this role
  • This position will be required to pass the Microsoft Cloud background check upon hire/transfer and every two years thereafter.

Nice to have:

  • Exposure to PostgreSQL or similar database systems, including extensions, indexing, query execution, or internals focused coursework or projects
  • Interest in or early experience with search systems, including full-text search, vector search, or hybrid retrieval approaches
  • Familiarity with performance debugging, profiling, or optimization in backend systems
  • Academic, professional, or open-source experience with databases, search engines, or distributed systems
  • Curiosity about AI-enabled data systems, embeddings, or retrieval-based application patterns
  • Strong problem-solving skills and a collaborative, growth-oriented mindset
  • Demonstrated commitment to learning, technical rigor, and inclusive engineering culture.
