PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT FULL-TIME POSITIONS

Software Design Engineer (SDE)
Writes product code and solves complex problems. Proficient in
C/C++.

"You come in every morning and check up on what you've built the
night before, see if you've broken anything, or if you've got any
bugs to take care of. Right now I'm working on three different
design features, so I've got maybe three status meetings a week to
check in with everybody--the testers, the developers, the Program
Managers, and together we figure out what we need to do. The core of
my job is designing new features and figuring out how to get them to
work. I loved that you could pursue an idea seriously in college and
have other people around to talk to about it. I wanted to stay in a
place like that. And Microsoft turned out to be that place."

science or related technical discipline. Strong coding skills,
proficiency in C/C++, vision, and a passion for technical excellence.
