Software Engineer

Job description

We are a startup product team creating a breakthrough cloud platform for ambient computing experiences.   We are now growing the core founding team and are looking for highly-motivated, entrepreneurial and technology-obsessed individuals to join our small team as we make the push to create an innovative product and continue surprising the market.

The first step in our journey was announced to the world by Satya during his WPC 2015 keynote as Project GigJam.   Recently we've gone public with the GigJam Preview ( https://aka.ms/rn0ykf), and as with our initial launch announcement, the press and analysts loved what we had to offer (see: PCWorld https://aka.ms/ugh8pa, ZDNet https://aka.ms/vqskpp, Business Insider https://aka.ms/jc9ipk). Twitter went nuts (search for #GigJam) and the best part is that with many more releases planned by the end of CY16, we're just getting started.

As a member of the client team, you will have the opportunity to design and deliver novel user experiences across multiple devices and platforms.   You will have ample opportunities to demonstrate technical leadership by working with the services team, as well as partnering with teams within Microsoft and externally.   This is a great time to join and influence the strategy of this technology while having lots of fun doing it!

Successful candidates must have:

  3+ years of relevant software design and development in C# and HTML5/JavaScript.

  Experience building widgets, controls and/or customizing existing controls for desktop and tablet devices (touch interaction).

  Experience using MVVM/data binding frameworks such as Knockout or AngularJS.

  Outstanding technical problem solving and debugging skills.

  Passion for quality with experience designing and implementing automated tests, including unit tests and integration tests.

  A growth mindset and entrepreneurial spirit to succeed in a fast-paced team.

  Effective communication skills.

  At least a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent.

Additional desired experiences:

  Experience with Windows 8.x, Android and iOS app development.
