Job description

The Lead Software Engineer chair at Microsoft is for builders, not bystanders, with $113,000 - $160,000 attached and GitLab CI on the daily menu. Set against the usual technology listings, this hybrid role at Microsoft stands out for one reason — it pays $113,000 - $160,000 and trusts you.

Key Responsibilities

• Translate technology compliance rules into React guardrails baked into the build
• Keep Active Listening schemas backward-compatible so Microsoft never forces a breaking upgrade
• Own the full lifecycle of technology systems from prototype to production
• Build Vue.js dashboards so Microsoft's technology team stops asking engineers for numbers
• Translate the make-it-better Active Listening outage into fixes that make the next Albany launch dull
• Lead the Growth Mindset migration that finally retires Microsoft's fun-loving legacy stack
• Refactor the technology module Microsoft has been afraid to touch
• Tune database queries and schemas for high-throughput Microsoft workloads

What You'll Bring

• The instinct to ask "what would change your mind?" before debating
• Self-motivated and able to work independently with minimal oversight
• Comfort owning the unglamorous middle of a hybrid project
• The composure to deliver bad news early and clearly

At Microsoft, the growth-minded Albany crew believes technology should feel boring and reliable, never thrilling and fragile. We reward the teammate who unblocks three colleagues over the one who quietly hero-codes alone.

We answer the money question first with $113,000 - $160,000, then keep going with growth budgets, mentorship, and a flexible hybrid schedule.

Updated on the spot, the Microsoft hiring team is reviewing in real time.
