If you’re smart, creative, a great communicator and passionate about software development, look no further – we are the coolest software R&D centre in Europe.

Software Development Engineer (SDE)

There's an SDE at the core of every Microsoft product. As an SDE, you will be responsible for all aspects of product feature development, including defining and prioritizing features, creating advanced technical designs, defining data structures and algorithms, writing code and unit tests, and relentlessly working to ensure your designs stand up to the test of millions of users worldwide.

Software Development Engineer in Test  (SDET)

As an SDET you leverage your technical and analytical skills as the primary drivers of quality—no small task! Good SDET candidates help shape our products by helping to define the product, writing infrastructure tools and automation code to exercise & test our products, and understanding in exquisite detail how customers will use the product.  Not everyone is cut out to be an SDET; you need to be structured enough to make sure nothing is missed, creative enough to think like millions of customers, technical enough to write code and design algorithmically beautiful solutions, and articulate enough to let people know what you think!

International Project Engineer (IPE) – currently intern only

IPE’s deliver our products and services across international markets. They represent international customer requirements, provide technical consulting, and support and manage international delivery from beginning to end.

Program Manager (PM) – currently graduate only

PM’s have a strong focus on innovation, collaboration and execution.  This role is focused on solving complex problems with powerful, simple solutions.  You will bring new thinking in processes, design, UI and solutions.  As a PM you will be given the responsibility of defining a feature area in a product (be it a website or an Office application).  You must understand the customer and the competition. You will work with development and test counterparts who will turn your technical specifications into code.

Software Development Engineer (SDE)

Work at the Core of Every Product We Build

This is where the fun begins for code gurus like you. As a hands-on Software Development Engineer, you’ll make decisions about design and feature implementation, using your mastery of technical tools to make a product vision a reality. If you like to write code and design efficient data structures and algorithms to develop next-generation applications or operating systems, this is the position for you. As an SDE, you’ll bring products to life by working with Program Managers to ensure strong design and Software Development Engineers in Test to ensure quality through testing.

Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET)

Discover Life on the Last Line of Defense

As a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET), you’ll own it, break it, fix it, and own it again. You’ll ensure a product’s quality by making sure it performs as users expect it to. Part of the fun is how creative you can be devising ways to manipulate, crush, and sabotage software into submission—while creating innovative testing technologies along the way. 

Ultimately, as an SDET it’s your input that can make the difference between joy and frustration for the customers. A great SDET demonstrates interest in customer advocacy derived from a holistic understanding of the product from the code level to delivery. Since you’re keen on how things work, and making them work better, you’ll work hand in hand with the Program Managers and Software Development Engineers to design, develop, and maintain automation systems for use in development and testing cycles.
