Software Engineering IC2 at Microsoft

Design, develop, test, deploy, and operate secure and scalable cloud services and APIs with guidance on larger design decisions. Own features end to end, from technical design and implementation through deployment and production support. Build reliable solutions involving APIs, data processing, authentication and authorization, and asynchronous workflows. Write high quality, maintainable, well-tested code and contribute to unit, integration, and automated test coverage. Implement authentication, authorization, data synchronization, and asynchronous processing logic that correctly handles retries, failures, and edge cases. Add telemetry, logging, and alerts to the features you build, and use them to monitor service health and diagnose issues. Participate in on-call rotation, live-site support and Investigate production issues and contribute to service reliability and operational improvements. Participate in design reviews and code reviews, incorporating feedback, and contributing to engineering quality. Collaborate with engineers, program managers, and partner teams to clarify requirements and deliver working solutions. Learn and apply team engineering standards, security and compliance practices, and responsible use of approved AI-assisted development tools.
