Overview

Team Purpose: Our team plays a critical role in the development and delivery of Windows across a broad range of devices and silicon, from Arm-based laptops to gaming consoles. We maintain the health of the Windows application ecosystem, ensuring that every Windows OS release remains compatible with the vast breadth of applications that customers, enterprises, and partners rely on every day. As part of Windows Silicon & Systems Integration, we are responsible for the quality and compatibility of both in-market devices and new hardware, spanning multiple form factors, silicon vendors, and customer segments. In recent years the OS underwent significant rejuvenation, and we continue to evolve the platform to support new devices and AI features. We are expanding our team to ensure we succeed - there has never been a better time to come and work on Windows.

Job Purpose: As a Senior Software Engineer in our team in Dublin, your work will impact on all development teams globally that write features for Windows.

You will strive to constantly improve our results by leveraging AI and analyzing data to answer business questions and guide our engineering decisions.

This opportunity will allow you to:

• Play a fundamental role in defining and building products used by millions of people.

• Work on AI solutions and be at the forefront of the AI revolution.

• Work in a team that operates with a level of autonomy that enables you to have strategic impact and input on what we deliver, not unlike working in a start-up environment.

• Invest in your professional development. Continuously learn on the job and access in person and online training. As part of Microsoft's culture of growth and development, you will participate in a monthly day of learning.

• Experience new engineering challenges to grow and enhance your skills.

• Work in a modern new workspace as part of a team that values results, flexibility, and fun.

Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more.
