Original job description

Overview

Join the Windows Cloud Experiences team to build core Windows client technologies that power secure, high-performance remote desktop experiences at global scale. As part of the Windows + Devices organization, you will design and ship foundational Windows client components that integrate with the operating system, devices, and hardware while connecting to cloud-powered services.

This role is suited for engineers with experience building native C++ software close to the operating system, particularly in performance-sensitive and reliability-critical environments. You will independently solve complex systems-level problems, make technical design decisions, and own features and technical areas throughout the engineering lifecycle.

Responsibilities

Build Core Windows Client and Device Experiences

Design and implement native Windows components in modern C++, with deep integration into Win32, COM, Windows services, and system APIs.
Build capabilities involving device redirection, input, display, audio/video, USB, and HID integration for remote desktop and virtualization scenarios.
Develop and maintain cross-process, cross-thread, performance-critical code paths where correctness, latency, reliability, and stability are important.
Make technical design decisions and evaluate tradeoffs across Windows client components, devices, and cloud-connected experiences.

Systems-Level Engineering at Scale

Independently investigate and resolve complex systems-level issues spanning kernel and user-mode boundaries, operating system integration, drivers, services, and client applications.
Optimize memory usage, threading models, IPC, and I/O within complex, long-running Windows client processes.
Diagnose performance, reliability, memory, and concurrency issues using telemetry, traces, dumps, debuggers, and other diagnostic tools.
Partner with Windows platform, security, device, and other engineering teams to design robust and secure implementations.
Navigate technically ambiguous problems, identify appropriate engineering tradeoffs, and drive solutions across component and team boundaries.

End-to-End Technical Ownership

Own features and technical areas across the full engineering lifecycle, including architecture, design, implementation, testing, deployment, telemetry, and live-site debugging.
Lead and contribute to design and code reviews, influencing technical decisions and improving engineering practices for testability, performance, reliability, and long-term maintainability.
Drive iterative improvements to Windows client technologies in an agile engineering environment with frequent releases.
Investigate complex customer and production issues, determine root causes, and implement engineering improvements that reduce recurrence.
Provide technical guidance and mentorship to other engineers, share systems-level expertise, and contribute to raising engineering quality across the team.

Technologies

You may work across technologies including:

C++ for native Windows and systems-level development.
C#, .NET, and WinUI.
Win32, WinRT, COM, RPC, Windows services, and system APIs.
Windows input, graphics, audio/video, networking, and device stacks.
Windows diagnostics and debugging technologies, including ETW, traces, dumps, and debuggers.

Qualifications

Required Qualifications

Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or related technical field AND 4+ years technical engineering experience with coding in languages including, but not limited to, C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, or Python OR equivalent experience.
Experience developing production software in C or C++.

Other Requirements

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 screening:

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

Preferred Qualifications

Experience developing native Windows applications or system components.
Experience with Win32, COM, Windows services, or Windows system APIs.
Experience debugging performance, memory, threading, or concurrency issues in native code.
Experience with device integration, USB, HID, audio/video, or driver-adjacent development.
Familiarity with remote desktop or virtualization technologies such as RDP or ICA.
Experience using ETW, traces, dumps, or debuggers for Windows diagnostics.
