Microsoft Dynamics CRM (Customer Relationship Management) is Microsoft’s next billion dollar business. We are one of the leaders in Software as a Service in the world of business applications. This is an exciting time to join Dynamics CRM - we are innovating and rethinking CRM. We are focusing on the capabilities next generation business productivity software needs to provide in a mobile and cloud first world. We aim to build the best-in-class cloud application on Azure and are looking for experienced engineers to help us design the next version of our online service and lead Microsoft’s charge against salesforce.com. This is a great opportunity to work on something highly strategic to Microsoft. The Data Services Team is at the center of the CRM platform and provides frameworks to model, manage, and access CRM data. The team is focused on three primary charters: Search: The success of a CRM system depends heavily on being able to find customer data, be it to provide customer service or to make inferences about possible marketing opportunities. We are building an integration with Azure Search to leverage its rich search capabilities, enabling a fast, relevance-based search experience from multiple devices. We ultimately plan to expand our initial offering to support faceting and filtering, along with other scenarios. Extended Data Platform: More and more customer scenarios, such as business analytics, reporting, and even machine learning, require CRM data to be available to different back-end systems. Additionally, many data integration scenarios such as Exchange Integration or mobile push notifications require a way to know what data have changed in CRM in order to propagate those changes to other systems. We are building a Data Sync Framework and an Extended Data Platform to solve these data sync and notification scenarios. Our challenge is not only to build these capabilities but to do so in a way that’s scalable, performant, highly-available, and secure. In order to meet these demands we’ve expanded our use of Azure to solve these problems. For example, the Extended Data Platform is built in Azure and uses the Service Fabric “Actor” model heavily. We will continue to evaluate new technologies in the Azure ecosystem, be it for storage or compute, that can allow us to meet our functional, performance, and security goals for the features that we build. The team consists of highly motivated, innovative, customer focused engineers and engineering leaders. We have optimized our engineering for the cloud with a fast cadence of releases, delivering innovation at an exciting pace. Our team works in an agile environment where we expect each team member to think out of the box to contribute and collaborate towards the mission of the team in a feature-crew setting. As part of this team, you will get exciting opportunities to work on cutting edge technologies across a variety of platforms, building the next generation of Dynamics CRM and revolutionizing the way businesses operate.
