Senior Software Engineer Microsoft
Redmond, WA

Job Description

Enterprise software has long had a bad reputation for being slow, unintuitive, and visually unappealing. Until now, it's gotten by with this reputation because companies have valued functionality over presentation and will use unintuitive software as long as they can figure out a way to "make it work".

Our team is looking to change this, starting within Microsoft Azure Active Directory (AAD).

We have an enormous opportunity to not only surface the (large amounts of) functionality that AAD offers for enterprise customers, but also do so in a way that's intuitive, performant, and visually in-line with consumer software, like Office 365. Delivering these experiences, which have deep functionality surfaced in a delightful user interface, will win over countless customers and help drive continuity and familiarity across all Microsoft services.

To fill this senior position, we're looking for a candidate who has the following:

* 6+ years of software engineering experience with building and maintaining full-stack websites
* Deep familiarity with the steps necessary to ship a production website, from local development tooling to deploying a scalable and resilient web service
* Strong coding skills in Typescript or Javascript
* Passion to work within a team and leverage other people's idea
* Obsession to identify and understand customers' needs

Ability to meet Microsoft, customer and/or government security screening requirements are required for this role. These requirements include, but are not limited to the following specialized security screenings:

Microsoft Cloud Background Check: This position will be required to pass the Microsoft Cloud background check upon hire/transfer and every two years thereafter.
