We are hiring! How far can your potential take you?
Recently I completed my 3rd year as an employee at Microsoft. I completed by undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering and did my graduate research in Computational Fluid mechanics. I spent few years as a consultant and moved to Seattle to work for Boeing and found my home at Microsoft Developer Division. At Microsoft, I get to work with some great minds every day and help us build cool technologies.
Recruiting great talent is one of the key focuses at our division. We (at Microsoft) firmly believe that finding, recruiting, and on-boarding the right talent for our organization is critical to our long term success and has a hugely positive impact on team morale and work/life balance.
We recently shipped the English version of Visual Studio 2008/.NET FX 3.5 and will be shipping the localized versions of these products shortly. We have also recently entered the active planning phase for Visual Studio 2010 (code named “Dev10”), the next wave of release for our key products and technologies. As we prepare for this next round of releases, we are looking to add new talent to our division.
We have several open positions across my division for programmer writers, program managers, software developers and testers. If you are interested in applying for any of these positions please send me an email or apply through our career site at http://www.microsoft.com/careers/.
