Also, I wanted to share with you that a lot of our Pakistani new hires will be starting first week of October. I will introduce them to this alias and then you should feel free to meet and greet them J

If you have any questions regarding the event, please feel free to contact me.

Thanks,

Priya

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.

Qualifications: A 4 year BA/BS or graduate degree in computer science, electrical engineering or related technical discipline. Strong coding skills, proficiency in C/C++, Visual Basic experience, and a relentless attention to detail.

There are multiple positions open, so please share the information with someone as good as you are.

All positions are at our corporate headquarters in Redmond, Washington, USA. We do require functional level English language skills, written and spoken.

Re: Microsoft Job - Interview Opportunity

hi Priya,
Thx for informing. I'll try to inform as many of my friends as possible. But why does MS hire from Pak, Lebanon, Moroco? ...... Is it the part of BG's charity work :P .... whatever, he sure is a great guy.

Re: Microsoft Job - Interview Opportunity

Microsoft hires from all over the world, where ever we can find talent we will go there. This is pure business, no charity involved. Priya is responsible for Pakistan, Lebanon, Moroco and couple other smaller countries. There are seperate teams who are responsible for other countries/regions.

In past six months I have been to Karachi twice for interviews and have hired about 14 individuals, far less than we were hoping for. There is plenty of talent in Pakistan, unfortunately infrastructure is not there to support their intellentual growth and allow them to stay current with new technologies.

Regards,

Re: Microsoft Job - Interview Opportunity
