Overview

Microsoft Development Center Estonia, with Offices in Tallinn and Tartu, is part of the Experiences & Devices division within Microsoft and well known for its Skype history. Today, our focus is much broader: We are building the Intelligent Conversations & Communications Cloud (IC3) which powers communication services for millions of Microsoft customers around the world across products such as Skype, Skype for Business, Microsoft Teams, Xbox, Windows, Azure and more. Our IC3 platform is one of the largest Azure deployments worldwide and growing rapidly. We own many large-scale applications in Estonia: from real-time communications, engineering systems to commerce, payments, anti-fraud and SMS. Together with partner teams across Microsoft we build and run an intelligent fabric of communication services to empower every person and organization to achieve more.


The IC3 Media Delivery Network Relay team develops and operates a global highly available and resilient fleet of TURN relays. The relays are needed to establish media connectivity and relay data for core communication products at Microsoft. Our task is to ensure the relay meets not only functional, but also strict quality, latency, compliance, and security requirements at scale with optimal cost. As an engineer on our team, you will be responsible for services on the critical path for many customer scenarios with great power and responsibility to directly affect the experience of millions of users every day.

Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.
