  • Drive accessibility efforts by integrating and validating Windows accessibility APIs and inclusive UI behavior.
  • Collaborate with product designers, UX researchers, QA, and other stakeholders on feature planning and UI/UX architecture.
  • Own the full feature lifecycle from conception and design through implementation, testing, release, and maintenance.
  • Identify, diagnose, and resolve complex bugs, performance bottlenecks, memory leaks, rendering issues, and compatibility problems.
  • Propose robust architectural and design solutions for challenging Windows platform issues.
  • Mentor other engineers, conduct code reviews, and contribute to technical decision-making.

  • Deep understanding of Windows application architecture, including interop between managed .NET code and native code.
  • Proven track record of designing, building, and shipping production-quality desktop applications.
  • Strong experience with accessibility APIs on Windows such as Microsoft UI Automation or similar.
  • Excellent software engineering fundamentals, including OOP, design patterns, data structures, algorithms, memory management, and multi-threading or asynchronous programming.
  • Experience leading technical design, mentoring engineers, conducting code reviews, and making architecture-level decisions.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to articulate tradeoffs, collaborate cross-functionally, and drive consensus.
  • A user-centric mindset focused on polished, intuitive, and accessible experiences.
  • Experience with automated UI testing, including unit tests, integration tests, or UI automation tests, is preferred.
  • Experience optimizing desktop app performance, including memory usage, startup time, rendering, high-DPI support, and responsiveness under load, is preferred.
  • Experience with localization, globalization, right-to-left UI support, or internationalization is preferred.
  • Familiarity with telemetry, analytics, crash reporting, logging, and error monitoring is preferred.
  • Previous experience shaping CI/CD workflows, release pipelines, and deployment strategies for desktop applications is preferred.
  • Demonstrated ability to own feature areas or modules long term, including maintenance, refactoring, and technical debt management, is preferred.

Benefits

  • A high-impact role with direct influence on the Windows product used by millions of people.
  • A collaborative, flat-structure engineering culture with room to contribute as a builder and decision-maker.
  • Opportunities to mentor others and grow into broader technical leadership roles such as Tech Lead or Architect.
  • Flexibility, autonomy, and responsibility to own features end to end.
  • A purpose-driven mission focused on reliable, accessible, user-centered software.
