Software Defined Networking (SDN)

Software Defined Networking (SDN) enables customers to realize and control the network they desire for their workload in the cloud. This includes traditional enterprise network functions like ACLs, firewalls, load balancers, IPS/IDS, DoS protection, that customers want to realize in the network for their VMs in the cloud. All these need to be delivered on a shared, very high speed but low-complexity physical network based on merchant silicon. And that is where the software comes in - all these can be realized and delivered in software by building a virtual network on top of physical network, using the virtualized host as the scale-out engine for all our policy, allowing the underlying physical network to be cheap and extremely fast. Creating a new, software controlled virtualized network, optimized for the cloud, represents a once-in-ten-years technological shift. The entire industry is realizing the SDN vision and jumping into it.

With tremendous growth comes the pressure to build regions and datacenters faster than ever. There is call for innovation and technological shift on how we build and operate multiple different Azure clouds with efficiency and agility. If you like to deal with broad array of technical challenges across multiple services for bringing up services at scale, then this is the place you need to be in.

As a Software Engineer on the team, you'll have the unique opportunity to design, build, and deliver a seamless, reliable, and high-performance cloud infrastructure. This is an opportunity to be part of an exciting set of challenges and solutions in an ever-evolving landscape.
