I have several positions open on my team here at Microsoft.

My team's responsibility spans multiple aspects of a research operating system’s programming model. The three main areas are concurrency, languages, and frameworks. When I say concurrency, I mean things like asynchrony and message passing, data and task parallelism, distributed parallelism, runtime scheduling and resource management, and heterogeneity and GPGPU. When I say languages, I mean type systems, mostly-functional programming, verified safe concurrency, and both front- and back-end compilation. And when I say frameworks, I mean virtually anything you could imagine wanting out of a platform framework: all things XML, data interoperability (database, web services, etc.), collections, transactions, multimaster synchronization, and even low level things, like regex, numerics, and globalization.

Our team is 100% developers, and we have an “everybody codes, everybody loves to code” culture. Even managers are expected to spend a significant amount of time prolifically writing code.

All of these components are new and built from the ground up. So self-drive and an ability to have a vision and make it happen are incredibly important.

We are always happy to hire great, hard-working people, regardless of years of experience. If you’re extremely strong in one or more of the abovementioned areas, more of a generalist, are an amazing coder, or all of the above, you’d fit in perfectly. This is the most amazing team of people I’ve ever worked with. If you are interested, please email your resume to me at joedu AT microsoft DOT com.
