Jobs

Over the past few months we�ve released the Bing Decision Engine, grown market share, and created momentum that is driving excitement and anticipation about the next steps in the evolution of Bing. The foundation of Bing is its infrastructure that automatically manages over 100k+ servers; and stores, computes and analyzes peta bytes of data per day.

One of the foundational pieces of the Bing infrastructure is the Autopilot systems management service. In a nutshell, the Autopilot technology is an adaptive system with advanced resource management that provides the foundation for executing hundreds of services on hundreds of thousands of machines geo distributed across the globe. We plan to expand the scope and reach of the Autopilot services dynamic resource management, failure detection and recovery mechanisms, load balancing support, virtual drives, and edge caching capabilities.

A second major part of the Bing infrastructure is Cosmos - a distributed offline computation platform. It stores and analyzes peta bytes of data to improve search relevance, ad monetization and provide mission critical business and customer intelligence information that drives product strategy across OSD services. At this point we�ve just scratched the surface of what is possible in this area with plans to expand the scope and reach of the Cosmos data store, execution engine, query language, developer tools, and data management tools.

We are looking for a test architect to help deliver world class infrastructure by developing effective test strategies, test tools and breakthrough test technologies.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement the test engineering system for functional, performance, scalability and stress testing for Bing infrastructure team
• Advance the state of the art of large scale distributed systems by developing new test techniques and tools for testing
• Understand customer pain points and testability challenges to influence product design
• Work with test managers to define, guide and drive testing strategies for Autopilot, Cosmos and Data mining feature teams
• Coach and influence highly motivated individual contributors and leads

• Shipped multiple large commercial software products or online services as senior dev or test individual contributor
• Excellent analytical, design, implementation and testing skills
• Ability to influence all engineering disciplines on quality and product strategy decisions
• Ability to experiment sophisticated algorithms and statistical models
• Experience in distributed system testing and data mining experience is a big plus
• M.S. in computer engineering/science is desired.
