OverviewAre you passionate about building world-class, fast, scalable, container workloads for Software Supply Chain? Are you looking for an opportunity to enable and have significant impact on how developers work on these workflows? If so, we have an exciting opportunity for you!With Azure's continued expansion in containerized workloads and growing customer interest to shift security left, the Azure Container Registry (ACR) team is looking for software engineers who can build from the ground up across the end-to-end system. ACR is chartered with building, storing, securing, scanning, replicating, and managing container images and artifacts with a fully managed, geo-replicated instance of OCI distribution. It is used to connect across environments, including Azure Kubernetes Service and Azure Red Hat OpenShift, and across Azure services like App Service, Machine Learning, Azure Security Center, and Batch. We also own services to streamline building, testing, pushing, and deploying images securely to Azure with ACR Tasks. Our team also owns the Microsoft Artifact Registry (MAR), which is Microsoft's primary public registry for distributing internal and external images. Most recently, we've been working with the Open Source Community to innovate and experiment to make the registry the best cloud native multi artifact store.As a Principal Software Engineer on the ACR team, you will have the opportunity to work with various Azure technologies to build and maintain this massively scalable cloud service. You will help design, build, and validate various components needed to maintain, scale, and make Azure Container Registry the best choice for storing images for container workloads. The cloud is becoming ever more important to our lives, and malicious actors getting ever more sophisticated. You will be part of an overall vision to secure the supply chain for all workloads running in Azure: from code, to build, to distribution, to runtime - to help Azure be the most secure and most reliable cloud platform. This role offers a flexible work opportunity, so you can work fully or partially from home.Microsoft is on a mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.
