Description

  • Lead the design, architecture, and development of native Windows desktop applications.
  • Define and enforce best practices for code architecture, performance, memory usage, UI responsiveness, cross-version compatibility, and maintainability.
  • Drive accessibility efforts by integrating and validating support for Windows accessibility APIs and assistive technologies.
  • Collaborate with product designers, UX researchers, QA, and other stakeholders on feature planning, UI/UX architecture, and roadmap decisions.
  • Own features end to end from conception and design through implementation, testing, release, and maintenance.
  • Diagnose and resolve complex bugs, performance bottlenecks, memory leaks, rendering issues, and compatibility problems.
  • Propose robust architectural and design solutions for platform and product challenges.
  • Mentor other engineers, conduct code reviews, and participate in architecture-level decision making.

Requirements

  • 3+ years of experience in Windows desktop application development using Windows App SDK, WinUI, C#, and XAML.
  • Ideally, additional experience with native Windows code such as C++, Win32, WinRT, or COM.
  • Deep understanding of Windows application architecture, including interop between managed code (.NET) 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 where relevant.
  • 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 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 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.
  • 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

  • Salary range of $140,000 to $200,000 USD per year, plus bonus and stock, depending on experience.
  • High-impact role with direct influence on the Windows product used by millions of people.
  • Collaborative, flat-structure engineering culture.
  • Opportunities to mentor others and grow into broader technical leadership roles.
  • Flexibility, autonomy, and responsibility to solve problems and own features end to end.
  • Purpose-driven mission focused on reliable, accessible, user-centered software.
