Cosmos DB is a distributed database on Microsoft’s Azure cloud service. It supports various models of data, from classic No-SQL JSON documents (queryable with SQL-like syntax), to Mongo, Cassandra, Gremlin and others. It’s fully indexed and supports reading and writing in every part of the world with tunable consistency to fit your app requirements.
Cosmos DB was my first job out of college in 2013. It’s a wonderful place to work. Technically, the problems we are solving are unparalleled. You can take your pick from:
hardcore database problems in query processing and optimization, indexing (including our blazing fast latch-free Bw-tree), storage ...
hardcore distributed systems problems in global data consistency and replication, networking, automatic conflict resolution, CRDTs ...
hardcore problems of hosting, containerization, and working with the most exciting data tech of today like Mongo, Cassandra, Spark ...
hardcore problems of scale, capacity planning, automated monitoring and health checks, CI/CD ...
We work with the latest and greatest in tech and academia, operate on a huge scale, tackle gigantic problems and bring tremendous value to customers.
