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.”
Qualifications: A 4 year BA/BS or a graduate degree in computer science or related technical discipline. Strong coding skills, proficiency in C/C++, vision, and a passion for technical excellence.
Software Design Engineer in Test (SDET)
Creates tools to test and improve products. Proficient in C/C++.
So what exactly is it?
A Software Design Engineer in Test is a developer who designs, develops, and maintains automation systems-often expandable suites containing multiple automation programs-to be used by the development and test teams. They are responsible for utilizing innovative test technologies to develop a product’s testing strategy, and for facilitating the creation and execution of automated test suites across a diverse set of technologies. They look at source code for potential problems using Microsoft internal tools. They also reproduce, debug, and isolate problems, and verify fixes.
