Join the Bot Framework team and help us build the tools that build Bots! If you are passionate about working on open source products, actively participating in a thriving community, and getting immediate feedback from developers, this position is it.

The Microsoft Bot Framework team is looking for a talented Front-End SDE looking to work on open source projects. These projects are public on GitHub and include Electron apps such as the Bot Framework Emulator, React packages such as the WebChat control, and other front-end applications. You'll be developing and working in rich front-end frameworks that provide direct user experiences to end-users and developers. As the conversational AI landscape evolves, you'll be asked to develop new code, new tools, new controls, and new applications to meet the needs of our customers.

The Microsoft Bot Framework allows developers to build, connect, deploy, and manage intelligent bots that naturally interact with users on a website, in an application, with Cortana, Teams, Skype, Slack, Facebook Messenger, and other 1st and 3rd party channels. Daily, you'll be expected to participate and engage with our broader community around issues, suggestions, and improvements.

We are the Bot Framework team, and we are a key part of Microsoft's strategy around building AI applications. You'll be working with researchers pioneering the latest advances in AI and Machine Learning while at the same time working with our ecosystem of developers to build practical applications that solve real-world problems.

Success will require being comfortable working on a wide variety of GitHub hosted open source projects, designing, implementing and enhancing User Experiences and working on development tooling. All of our work embraces Windows, macOS, and Linux environments equally. Developer empathy and a passion around helping the development community be successful is required.
