Our team is working on building the platform and experiences which will help our partners with this transformation, enable them to engage in new business relationships with us, enable them to grow their business, and simplify how we reward partners. We are working on making a common hub to enable these modern experiences for our partners.

If you enjoy innovating in a fast-paced services team, enjoy working on full stack solutions which directly impact our Partners, and are excited about building something which directly impacts Microsoft’s bottom line, then this is the team for you. We embrace a culture which is customer focused, service driven, delivers continuously, drives engineering excellence, collaborative, fun loving and iterative.

Responsibilities

We are looking for candidates who can think broadly, collaborate well, pick up and contribute to a broad range of technologies, be flexible towards the areas of the product that they work on, and generally want to have fun enabling our Partners to be their most efficient and effective in their business.

Successful candidates will exhibit various attributes which will enhance their ability to succeed in this position.

Collaboration – As most development is about working with others, both within an immediate team, as well as across business units and portions of the company, an ability to collaborate effectively is a core competency to have.

Customer Focus – A focus on delivering customer value, and being able to directly tie engineering decisions and actions to that value is a huge plus for successful engineers at any level.

Drive For Results – Being able to drive for results, not merely finding the boundary of your responsibility, but following a problem through to its conclusion, to solve it once and for all, is a skill and ability which a successful engineer should exhibit.

Technical Excellence – Core to being a software engineer is of course technical excellence. This is not merely knowing the latest and greatest language developments, but demonstrating a passion for technology, a curiosity to ‘go deep’, and an ability to quickly learn and build upon past experiences, to be able to extrapolate from those experiences, and deliver innovations. Technical excellence is rooted in having a strong demonstrable aptitude for problem solving.

The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate this broad set of attributes well. As the position is one of software engineer, an ability to code is a base requirement. As there are many forms of coding in practical use today, having past experience in languages and frameworks such as C#, Java, C++ and various others is acceptable, assuming the candidate can demonstrate proficiency in what they know, and can extend their learning to new languages, tools, and environments. Demonstrated experience as a full stack developer having worked on cloud services, REST APIs, frontend development (JavaScript, Angular, Typescript, HTML, CSS) is a huge plus.

Qualifications

Qualified candidates will have a BS or MS in computer science or related discipline and 2+ years of software development experience.
