  • Experience leading technical design, mentoring engineers, conducting code reviews, and making architecture-level decisions.
  • Strong communication skills and ability to articulate tradeoffs, collaborate cross-functionally, and drive consensus.
  • A user-centric mindset focused on polished, intuitive, and accessible experiences.
  • Experience writing automated UI tests, including unit, integration, or UI automation tests, is preferred.
  • Experience with desktop app performance optimization, including memory usage, startup time, rendering performance, high-DPI support, and responsiveness under load, is preferred.
  • Experience with localization, globalization, right-to-left UI support, and internationalization is preferred.
  • Familiarity with telemetry, analytics, crash reporting, logging, and error monitoring is preferred.
  • Experience shaping CI/CD workflows, release pipelines, and deployment strategies for desktop applications is preferred.
  • Demonstrated ability to own feature areas long-term, including maintenance, refactoring, and technical debt management is preferred.

Benefits

  • Salary range of $140,000-$200,000 USD per year, plus bonus and stock depending on experience.
  • Fully distributed work environment with no office.
  • High-impact ownership of architecture and the future of the Windows product.
