Staffing Manager at Microsoft Corporation (2000+), Mylink 500
Greater Seattle Area
In the Developer Division, our mission is to make every software project successful with Microsoft Tools and Platforms by providing the broadest pipeline to the development community to connect with Microsoft platforms.
On the one hand, we have various segments of the development community ranging from professional developers, software development teams, creative professionals (designers), students, hobbyists and non-professional developers.
On the other hand, we have a confluence of platforms spanning the client, Web, server, devices and Services.
Our goal is to provide developer platform technologies and tools that bridges these two dimensions by having a consistent programming model in .NET, e.g. .NET Framework, WPF, Silverlight and .NETCF, that spans the various platforms, and tools and technologies in Visual Studio and Expression Studio. We have current openings in the following job families:
Software Development Engineer
Software Development Engineer, Test
Program Manager
If the prospect of joining a growing and dynamic team in the technologies or market segments mentioned above appeals to you and you are qualified in one of the areas mentioned above, feel free to contact me.
