• Learns to review code and helps to review code of others to ensure it meets team standards. Participates in code review processes for self-development, gathers feedback, and learns about coding standards and the team's features. Applies coding patterns and best practices. Learns how and begins to use automated source code analysis tools that are incorporated into the build/development process with minimal supervision.
• Develops and applies knowledge of debugging tools, tests, logs, telemetry, and other methods to begin supporting efforts to proactively flag issues before they occur for product features in production. Learns to conduct incident retrospectives to identify root causes of problems, and begins to implement repair actions with direct supervision. Grows understanding of and begins to apply least-access principles and uses logging, telemetry, and other appropriate mechanisms with direct supervision to investigate issues while retaining privacy and security.
• With guidance, learns how and creates and implements 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. Applies coding patterns and best practices to write code (e.g., leveraging state-of-the-art generative artificial intelligence [GenAI], approaches to source code organization, naming conventions). With guidance from more experienced colleagues, identifies and escalates blockers or unknowns during the development process, and communicates how they will impact timelines.
• Understands proposals and develops an understanding of how to apply them under the technical leadership of others. With managerial guidance, tests and explores various design options for a product/solution feature, outlining strengths and weaknesses of each option. Produces code to test hypotheses for technical solutions and assists with technical validation efforts. Helps with and participates in the development of design documents that support simple user stories with oversight. Develops an awareness of the current technology landscape. Escalates findings from investigations to team members for design decisions. Learns about the implications of performance, scalability, resiliency, cost of goods sold (COGS), and other requirements and expectations in systems architecture. Begins to uphold Microsoft standards of security, privacy, and other compliance requirements in systems architecture. Develops an understanding of the importance of building solutions that expand upon the work of others. Contributes to the refinement and integration of feedback in product features by escalating findings from analyses to inform decisions regarding the engineering of products.
• Supports the identification of dependencies, and their incorporation into the development of design documents for a product feature with oversight. Learns and helps to actively identify other teams and technologies to leverage, how they interact, and where their own system or team can support others. Learns about downstream interactions between systems.
• Learns about and helps to ensure the correct processes are followed to achieve a high degree of security, privacy, safety, and accessibility. Contributes to efforts to check for visible evidence (e.g., audit trail) to demonstrate compliance for product features. Develops understanding of the implications of onboarding new technologies following expectations of compliance at Microsoft. Develops an understanding of global and local regulations for technologies and system applications.
• Works with partner teams to ensure a product feature works well with the components of the partner team with direct supervision, supporting team efforts to ensure proper end-to-end testing, live-site coverage, scalability, performance, and DRI escalation pathways are established before going live.
• Acts as a designated responsible individual (DRI) in monitoring a system/product feature/service for degradation, downtime, or interruptions for simple problems, and recommends actions to restore system/product/service by following the playbook. Escalates more complex problems to other DRIs as to status. Responds within service level agreement (SLA) timeframe. Escalates issues to appropriate owners.
• Contributes in partnership with appropriate internal stakeholders (e.g., product manager, privacy/security subject matter expert, technical lead) to understand customer/user requirements for a feature. Contributes to incorporating customer insights into solution fixes with oversight from more experienced peers. Begins to incorporate unwritten requirements, such as appropriate continuous feedback loops that measure actionable, quantitative (e.g., customer value, usage patterns, solution performance) and qualitative (e.g., accessibility, globalization) indicators of value. Develops an understanding of the security and privacy needs of the customer who will be using the feature.
