Job Description

Now more than ever we live in an age where cloud services are empowering people around the world to achieve more. Behind these innovative services exists a critical infrastructure that is what truly brings the cloud to life. On the ObjectStore team we build the core cloud platform backing Bing. It has grown to be used across all of Microsoft including Azure, Office, SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, Cortana and more. Individual's lives are impacted by it in scenarios such as web search, friends exploring, local deal finding and personal assistants.
