We frequently work with engineers considered to be industry experts in their respective fields. All of our projects have research dimension, therefore we collaborate with Microsoft researchers from Redmond, Cambridge and Asia.
Many of our engineers have patent awards and present techniques at professional conferences. As part of the training, you will have an opportunity to spend time with your parent team in Seattle area.
Our project areas vary. We develop components in the following domains: computational algebra engines, pattern recognition, object classification, computational geometry and core database systems.
The common theme uniting all of the efforts within the development center is applied mathematics.
Required qualifications include:
- At least a B.Sc. in CS or equivalent university degree (e.g. Electrical Engineering, Math, Physics or etc.).

We currently have three types of open positions at MDCS: Software Design Engineer (SDE), Software Design Engineer in Test (SDET) and Program Manager (PM) who work together to deliver the state-of-the-art software products used by millions of customers worldwide.
- PM focuses on the big picture of "what are we trying to do" and on the details of the user experience, feature set and the way the product will be used – PM is responsible for the functional design of the product. PM serves as the coordinating point where all the disciplines come together – a hub for the team and helps getting everyone aligned around the vision for the product. Another key skill of a PM is to have empathy with a broad range of customers - PM serves as an advocate for the customers and is a champion of customer value.
- SDE writes the code, and is responsible for HOW the product will be implemented. SDEs are in charge of the code's architecture, performance, reliability, security and getting the right functionality into the product.
- SDET writes the code and designs systems that will test the quality of the product but more importantly verifies the product ultimately meets the needs of the customer. SDET DNA has to include a natural ability to do systems level thinking, skills in problem decomposition, passion for quality and love for finding out how something works and then how to break it.
