Every day, millions of people and businesses everywhere use our products. And they do more than use them—they depend on them to turn their ideas and inspirations into reality. In the Microsoft Office Division, we create new tools that increase productivity, helping people do what they do better and more efficiently.

• Microsoft Office and related products—including Office Web Apps, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Visio—deliver rich and powerful new ways for people to create their best work.

• The Servers and Solutions group includes Exchange, Lync, Project and SharePoint products that help information workers connect and collaborate.

• Office 365 is the culmination of more than 20 years of experience delivering world-class productivity solutions to people and businesses of all sizes. It brings together Office, SharePoint, Exchange, and Lync in an always-up-to-date Cloud service.

• The Educational Products team works to transform the future of education. Through our Education Labs, we’re imagining and building prototype software you might see in classrooms in the not too distant future.

We are looking for talented Software Development Engineers in Test to join the Office division. As an SDET, you will own the quality of your features. You'll be responsible for participating in design reviews to ensure testability and shape the architecture, authoring a test plan for your area of the product, coding a set of automated tests and tools to aid in testing, and partnering closely with your dev and PM counterparts to ensure your features ship on time, predictably, and at the level of quality expected of world-class software.

Qualified candidates will have:
3+ years of previous Test\SDET experience.
Ability to clearly communicate concerns about code and collaborate with devs and PMs to effectively solve software challenges
High level of personal accountability and “self-starter” attitude in order to make progress in ambiguous situations
Capability to problem solve by not only identifying bugs, but also narrowing down the list of bugs to identify the root of a software problem
3+ years of experience coding in an Object Oriented language such as C++, C# or Java.
Passion for software quality, good instincts for how cloud software should behave and what Microsoft customers expect
Outstanding ability to break things in creative ways
A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science is preferred but not required
