Overview

The Azure Edge & Platform Organization brings together Edge platforms, devices, and services to deliver Edge solutions, operating systems, and engineering system solutions to Azure engineers and customers. Within Azure E+P, Dialtone Infrastructure Management is a diverse team focused on ensuring that core services required to support recovery efforts in case of a widespread Azure outage are always available.


The team is responsible for maintaining a fleet of bare-metal and virtual assets across multiple regions that host recovery services. We are heavily invested in creating and delivering quality automations to reduce the amount of human toil needed to spin-up new hardware and virtual machines, which allows a much faster time to asset utilization and increases overall capital asset ROI. We integrate hybrid and non-cloud-based solutions to provide the robust recovery platform needed to support Azure world-wide.

You will have opportunities to learn and grow in your role developing pipeline features and contributing to our Azure based services as needed. You will partner effectively with senior mentors on the team to deliver value and impact to the entire Dialtone Management product line.

The team is deeply committed and passionate about maintaining an excellent, collaborative team culture where diversity and inclusion are highly valued. We are also strongly committed to individual growth and development and provide an environment for everyone to do their best work. On our team you will have the opportunity to have great impact, continue to grow and advance your career while building strong relationships with an amazing team of engineers.

Microsoft’s 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.
