My team works on one of the world's biggest software infrastructure projects - we run datacenters that power Bing. We are responsible for the system that automatically provisions hardware, sets up the network, distributes software and data to serving and processing nodes, and monitors servers, applications, and hardware devices.
We are looking for brilliant engineers who are interested in hardware, networking, and distributed systems.
You:
...are very good with algorithms. You will be able to code quicksort if you were woken up at night, without preparation.
...understand computer architecture: memory allocation, pointers, etc. You will know exactly what happens when your computer runs code for std::string x = "foo";
...know how to work in a team and how to make people around you better, even when it lowers your personal efficiency
