Description

  • Lead the design, architecture, and development of native Windows desktop applications.
  • Define and enforce best practices for Windows desktop code quality, performance, memory usage, responsiveness, compatibility, and maintainability.
  • Drive accessibility efforts by integrating and validating Windows accessibility APIs and supporting keyboard navigation, screen readers, and inclusive UI behavior.
  • Collaborate with product designers, UX researchers, QA, and other stakeholders on feature planning and long-term Windows 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 technical issues across the Windows platform.
  • Mentor other engineers, lead technical design discussions, and contribute to architecture-level decisions.

Requirements

  • 3+ years of experience in Windows desktop application development using Windows App SDK, WinUI or similar frameworks, C#, and XAML.
  • Additional experience with native Windows code such as C++, Win32, WinRT, or COM is ideally preferred.
  • Deep understanding of Windows application architecture, including interoperability between managed .NET code and native code.
  • Proven experience designing, building, and shipping production-quality desktop applications with strong reliability, performance, scalability, and maintainability.
  • Strong experience with Windows accessibility APIs such as Microsoft UI Automation or similar frameworks.
  • Solid software engineering fundamentals, including OOP, design patterns, data structures, algorithms, memory management, multi-threading, and 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 end-user experiences.
  • Experience writing automated UI tests, 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 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.

Benefits

  • A high-impact role with direct influence on the Windows product and the experience seen by millions of users.
  • A collaborative, flat-structure engineering culture with strong ownership and decision-making autonomy.
  • Opportunities to mentor others and grow into broader technical leadership roles such as Tech Lead or Architect.
  • Flexibility, autonomy, and responsibility to solve problems end to end and contribute to long-term product vision.
  • A purpose-driven mission focused on building reliable, accessible, and user-centered software.
  • A 100% distributed work environment with no office.
