- Office in Hyderabad
Overview
Do you wonder how Search Engines process so much data and provide accurate results so quickly? If the thought of designing and building platform solutions for an extremely large-scale distributed system where we are pushing the boundaries on scale and latencies excites you, then this is the place for you. Object Store is a highly available distributed key-value store that is the preferred data store for Bing and some mission critical processes for M365 and Azure. Object Store manages Petabytes of data with very high reliability while still offering extremely low sub-milli second latencies.
We are constantly improving the design to accommodate varying customer requirements and solving very specific business needs. As Bing search teams are constantly innovating to provide more natural language query support or semantic search, there is an increasing need for Object Store to support new data models and more complex computations closer to the data; while M365 has very specific needs that is pushing the boundaries on the very fundamentals of the Object Store architecture. So, Object Store remains an Evolving and Improving Product, and we are looking for Engineers who can help drive and execute such fundamental design changes.
The Object Store team is part of a wider Platform team that is responsible for several other key platform components and initiatives. This is a team on the move, growing rapidly with some ambitious long-term goals to become a center of excellence. This position shall offer a greater opportunity to define and drive the vision for the Platform team in STCI.
