Responsibilities

• Learns and contributes to processes for the architecture of a product/solution feature and learns to create proposals by testing design hypotheses and helping to refine code plans under the technical leadership of others.
• Collaborates with others to create a clear and articulated plan for testing and assuring quality of solutions.
• Supports identification of dependencies, and the development of design documents for a product feature with oversight.

• With guidance, learns to create and implement code for a product, service, or feature reusing code as applicable. Writes and learns to create code that is extensible and maintainable. Learns about and applies diagnosability, reliability, and maintainability, and understands when the code is ready to be shared and delivered.
• Learns about and applies knowledge of debugging tools, logs, telemetry, and other methods to proactively flags issues before they occur and reactively flag issues as they occur for product features. Learns to conduct retrospective debugging of solutions to identify root causes of problems.
• Learns to review code and helps to review code of others to ensure it meets the team's and Microsoft's quality standards.

• Learns to review work items to gain knowledge of product features in partnership with appropriate stakeholders (e.g., project managers). Assists and learns about breaking down work items into tasks and provides estimation. Escalates any issues that would cause a delay.

• Learns about and contributes to operations of live service as issues arise on a rotational, on-call basis. Identifies solutions and mitigations to simple issues impacting performance or functionality of Live Site services and escalates as necessary.
• Acts as a Designated Responsible Individual (DRI) in monitoring system/product feature/service for degradation, downtime, or interruptions for simple problems, and recommends actions to restore system/product/service by following the

• Learns about, shares new ideas, and leverages software developer tools to create, debug, and maintain code for features. Uses internal tools and open source when possible.
• Learns to develop and contribute to automation within production and deployment of a product feature. Runs code in simulated, or other non-production environments to confirm functionality and error-free runtime for products with oversight.
• Learns about and helps to support communication with key partners across the Microsoft ecosystem of engineers. Supports partner teams across Microsoft (e.g., Xbox, Office) and supports projects to drive and achieve desirable user experiences and fitting the dynamic needs of partners/customers through product development.
