Microsoft was founded on a hunch that technology could be far less awful, and Asheville turned out to be the perfect place to prove it. Ownership at Microsoft means you fix the broken thing even when nobody assigned it to you.

We trade fair $93,000 - $134,000 for your talent and throw in mentorship, benefits, and a flexibility policy people actually use.

Hiring is happening now, not last quarter, for this Unreal Developer seat.
