Job Description

Imagine what you can do if you can compromise the machines where Windows or Visual Studio is being built. Or where the most popular npm module or nuget package is built. You can attach your malware to popular and widely distributed software and reach millions of devices easily.

Increasingly, cyber threats are coming from such attacks on the software supply chain, which includes everything from developer machines to CI/CD pipelines, release/publish infrastructure and package managers. Every step in the supply chain offers rich targets for attackers to inject their malware into widely distributed software.

Microsoft is serious about securing our software supply chain from such attacks. We want to build multiple layers of defense against such attacks and reduce the chance that the software we ship and any external software we depend on are compromised in their supply chains.

We are looking for engineers who can help us tackle this challenge. Specifically, we are looking for someone with experience in multiple language platforms like Node.JS, Python, .NET, Java and Go. Deep understanding of how package managers work, how packages are built in various languages, how runtimes deal with versioned artifacts and how dependencies are handled would be very useful. Experience with setting up CI/CD pipelines and securing build machines is also helpful.

Basic Qualifications:

5+ years of experience developing commercial software with C#, C++ or Java

Preferred Qualifications:

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, a related technical field, or equivalent experience

Detail oriented design, coding, debugging and problem-solving skills

Strong written and verbal communication skills

Experience with Open Source Software development

Passion for quality with strong customer empathy

Ability to drive technical decisions across teams

Experience building applications in .NET, Node.JS, Python, or Java

Knowledge of software security, including threat modeling, isolation, integrity checking, and certificates

Experience with CI/CD and build pipelines

Experience with packages and package managers like npm, PyPI, NuGet, maven

You will be required to pass Microsoft background checks prior to the start of employment and periodically thereafter. 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.
