Microsoft is looking to hire Software Engineers to develop software, tools, and code for design, infrastructure, and technology platforms, as well as commercial or end-user applications. The goal is to create and implement extensible and maintainable code, gather user requirements, ensure code quality, and meet scaling, performance, security, privacy, safety, and accessibility standards.
Requirements
- Proven experience coding in languages including, but not limited to, C, C++, C-Sharp, Java, JavaScript, or Python.
- 1+ year(s) technical engineering experience with coding in languages including, but not limited to, C, C++, C-Sharp, Java, JavaScript, or Python.
- Proven experience coding in languages including, but not limited to, C, C++, C-Sharp, Java, JavaScript, or Python.
- Utilizes debugging tools to proactively and reactively address issues in product features, ensuring code quality and reliability.
- Leverages developer tools for code creation and debugging, contributes to automation in production and deployment, and proactively seeks knowledge to improve product availability, reliability, efficiency, and performance at scale.
- Assists with technical validation efforts.
- Integrates automation into testing.
Responsibilities
- Develop software, tools and code to be used in support of design, infrastructure, and technology platforms as well as commercial or end-user applications.
- Create and implement extensible and maintainable code for a product, service, or feature.
- Partner with stakeholders to determine user requirements for a feature and consider a variety of feedback channels to incorporate insights into future designs or solution fixes.
- Collaborate with others to create a clear and articulated plan for testing, assuring quality of solutions, while applying knowledge of debugging tools, logs, telemetry, and other methods to proactively flag issues.
- Learn about customer scaling requirements and the application of best practices for meeting scaling needs and performance expectations, while ensuring the correct processes are followed to achieve a high degree of security, privacy, safety, and accessibility.
- Produces code to test hypotheses for technical solutions and assists with technical validation efforts.
- Contributes to data analysis and feedback integration for product engineering decisions, acting as a Designated Responsible Individual (DRI) for monitoring and restoring system functionality within Service Level Agreement (SLA) timeframe.
Other
- Learns to review and break down work items into tasks with stakeholder collaboration, provide estimations, and escalate delays, while also supporting feature deployments to customers, considering user and service impacts, and adhering to best deployment practices for safety.
- Collaborates with key stakeholders to define feature requirements, integrates feedback to enhance design, and establishes feedback loops for continuous improvement based on customer metrics.
- Learns and applies coding standards and best practices through code reviews, developing maintainable and extensible code with guidance.
- Supports the identification of dependencies and design documentation for product features, learns about system interactions and back-end dependencies, and contributes to architectural processes under guidance.
- Participates in live service operations, and supports telemetry data integration for system behavior insights, with a focus on performance, reliability, and safety.
