Sr Software Development Engineer (SDE) / Microsoft / Redmond, WA

in

Microsoft/Redmond, WALocation: Redmond, WA, US
Job ID: 751211-38409
Division: Corporate Research & Development

The Technical Strategy Incubation team is looking for highly motivated engineers to work on the design and development of a new programming language and associated tools. Our language is focused on enabling safe concurrency, automatic parallelism, and increased correctness and development time thanks to static verification.

Our effort is a part of a larger operating systems effort, which embraces these principles systemically and at a broad scale.

As a developer on the team you will be responsible for the design and implementation of new language features in the compiler, IDE, and related tools. Our features are largely need-driven and prioritized to those that deliver the most value to the overall team. Being an incubation team, all features are potential technology transfers to product teams and/or frequently open up new research opportunities.

Our team's first rule is that "everyone codes; everyone loves to code", so the candidate should expect to spend a significant percentage of his or her time writing code, as the entire team does, in addition to taking responsibility for architecture and design work. Because this is an incubation group, a candidate must have a high tolerance for uncertainty, an independent drive, and an eagerness to work in an unusually fast-paced environment. Experience in startups is a plus, as is experience managing and a willingness to manage development teams.

Although an incubation, we apply rigor and engineering discipline very much as a product group would. Therefore, a demonstrated ability to ship commercially successful products is highly valued. Experience with all aspects of compilers, developer tools, backend systems, lower-level operating system and virtual machine systems programming, and prior experience with concurrency and parallelism are all very desirable.
