Job description

We are assembling a world-class technology team and want a Game Developer who can write TypeScript that performs under pressure. The $88,000 - $126,000 is the floor, not the ceiling; with 7 years and technology ownership, this Microsoft role keeps rising.

Key Responsibilities

• Reach into legacy MySQL modules and leave them cleaner than you found them
• Carry an unpretentious Ruby on Rails feature through code freeze without breaking Microsoft stability
• Configure and manage infrastructure as code across staging and production
• Pair with technology analysts so Microsoft's Ruby on Rails models match real behavior
• Tune Terraform caching so Microsoft survives the Indianapolis launch spike on the same hardware
• Question the playfully-serious Terraform pattern everyone copied and propose something cleaner
• Map data flow across Microsoft's Jest services and spot the leaks
• Build the Scrum tooling that makes every other Indianapolis engineer faster

What You'll Bring

• A Microsoft mindset: scrappy today, scalable tomorrow
• Comfortable presenting ideas to stakeholders at every level
• 7 years of MySQL práctica, plus a hunger for what's next
• The diplomacy to align stakeholders who don't agree yet
• Detail-oriented approach with a commitment to accuracy

Since day one, Microsoft has been on a sharp-but-gentle mission to reshape technology from its base in Indianapolis, IN. We default to documenting decisions so IN and remote teammates stay equally in the loop.

Microsoft rewards your builder-led work with $88,000 - $126,000, equity participation, and mentorship from accomplished technology leaders.
