Description

  • Lead the design, architecture, and development of native Windows desktop applications using Windows App SDK, WinUI, C#, XAML, and C++ when needed.
  • Define and enforce best practices for Windows desktop development across code architecture, performance, memory usage, responsiveness, compatibility, and maintainability.
  • Drive accessibility efforts by integrating and validating Windows accessibility APIs, focus management, keyboard navigation, and screen-reader support.
  • 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 through design, implementation, testing, release, and maintenance.
  • Identify, diagnose, and resolve complex bugs, performance bottlenecks, memory leaks, rendering issues, and compatibility problems.
  • Lead technical design discussions, mentor other engineers, and contribute to architecture-level decisions.
  • Work across the codebase to ensure quality, reliability, and consistency across releases.

Requirements

  • 3+ years of experience in Windows desktop application development using Windows App SDK, WinUI or similar, C#, and XAML, with additional native Windows experience in C++, Win32, WinRT, or COM preferred.
  • 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 with a focus on reliability, performance, scalability, and maintainability.
  • Strong experience with Windows accessibility APIs such as Microsoft UI Automation, with a commitment to accessible and inclusive software.
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals, including object-oriented programming, 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 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 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 in desktop applications is preferred.
  • Experience shaping CI/CD workflows, release pipelines, and deployment strategies for desktop applications is preferred.
  • Demonstrated ownership of feature areas or modules, 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.
  • A high-impact role with direct influence on the Windows product and user experience for millions of users.
  • A collaborative, flat-structure engineering culture with meaningful ownership and decision-making responsibility.
  • Opportunities to lead, 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 and help shape long-term product vision.
  • A purpose-driven mission centered on building reliable, accessible, user-centered software.
