  • Collaborate with product designers, UX researchers, QA, and other stakeholders on feature planning, UI/UX architecture, and the Windows roadmap.
  • 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.
  • Mentor other engineers, conduct code reviews, and contribute to architecture-level decisions.

  • Additional experience with native Windows code such as C++, Win32, WinRT, or COM is ideally preferred.
  • Deep understanding of Windows application architecture, including interop between managed .NET code and native code.
  • Proven experience designing, building, and shipping production-quality desktop applications with emphasis on reliability, performance, scalability, and maintainability.
  • 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 multithreading or asynchronous programming.
  • 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 end-user experiences.
  • Experience with automated UI testing, including unit, integration, or UI automation tests, is a preferred qualification.
  • Experience with desktop app performance optimization, including memory usage, startup time, rendering performance, high-DPI support, and responsiveness under load, is a preferred qualification.
  • Experience with localization, globalization, right-to-left UI support, and internationalization is a preferred qualification.
  • Familiarity with telemetry, analytics, crash reporting, logging, and error monitoring in desktop applications is a preferred qualification.
  • Experience shaping CI/CD workflows, release pipelines, and deployment strategies for desktop applications is a preferred qualification.
  • Demonstrated ability to own feature areas or modules long term, including maintenance, refactoring, and technical debt management, is a preferred qualification.
  • Portfolio and LinkedIn links are requested when applying.

Benefits

  • High-impact role with influence over the architecture and future of the Windows product.
  • Collaborative, flat-structure engineering culture with decision-making ownership.
  • Opportunities to mentor others and grow into broader technical leadership roles.
