Software Engineer II · Microsoft - Azure Compute

Hi, I'm Sampreeth.
I build systems that stay up
at planetary scale.

Distributed systems, cloud networking and large-scale data infrastructure. I work on Microsoft - Azure Compute — the telemetry ingestion path, the cross-region network and the multi-region rollouts behind it. Before that, 4G/5G core networking in C++.

About

I'm a software engineer on Microsoft - Azure Compute, working where distributed systems, networking and data infrastructure meet. My work is the unglamorous kind that everything else depends on: the ingestion path, the cross-region network, the storage layer, the multi-region deployment that has to land everywhere without a blip.

Before Azure Compute I spent nearly three years in 4G/5G core networking, writing control-plane and data-plane C++ for a mobile gateway — packet processing, QoS, traffic prioritisation and Kubernetes-orchestrated workloads.

I care about measurable outcomes over activity. Ingestion latency down 93%. Data-plane throughput up 30%. New data sources onboarding 97% faster. If a change can't be benchmarked, I'm suspicious of it.

Based in Hyderabad, India and open to relocation · happy to talk about distributed systems, cloud infrastructure and networking roles.

Experience

Software Engineer II · Microsoft - Azure Compute

March 2026 – Present · Hyderabad, India

Current
- Architected a globally distributed telemetry platform spanning Azure's multi-region footprint, cutting end-to-end ingestion latency by 93% using C#, Python, Azure Functions and Kafka.
- Engineered a fault-tolerant distributed storage and analytics platform for high-volume VM telemetry, built on Azure Data Explorer, Redis caching and Kafka.
- Designed the cross-region network path across NAT gateways, load balancers and firewall policies, securing high-throughput data transfer between regions.
- Owned the multi-region deployment end to end (Azure Data Factory, Databricks, Azure Data Explorer) — from technical design document through rollout — meeting its high-availability targets.
- Automated benchmarking to run tests, analyse results and land the code changes that removed performance bottlenecks, backed by unit and integration testing.
- Led design and code reviews to uphold code quality and testability, and mentored 2 engineers.

Software Engineer I · Microsoft

June 2023 – February 2026 · Bangalore, India

2y 9m
- Built control-plane and data-plane subsystems for a 4G/5G core mobile gateway (Mobility Content Cloud S/P Gateway) in C++ and Python, handling carrier-scale subscriber traffic.
- Optimised packet processing in the 5G data plane, improving throughput by 30% and reducing latency through high-performance C++ systems programming.
- Deployed and operated containerised gateway workloads on Kubernetes, handling service networking and workload orchestration across clusters.
- Integrated Workflow and Quality of Service (QoS) modules, optimising traffic-prioritisation algorithms and improving traffic management efficiency by 25%.
- Developed an ingestion framework for incremental and full data loads across heterogeneous sources, cutting new data source onboarding time by 97%.
- Created Python tooling to triage failures across network and service layers, reducing customer issue investigation time by 30%.
