On Team Xbox, we aspire to empower the world’s 3 billion gamers to play the games they want, with the people they want, anywhere they want. Gaming, the largest and fastest growing category in media & entertainment, represents an important growth opportunity for Microsoft. We are leading with innovation, as highlighted by bringing Xbox to new devices with Cloud Gaming, bringing the Game Pass subscription to PC, and our recent acquisition of Activision Blizzard King creating exciting new possibilities for players.

The Xbox Experiences and Platforms team is home to the engineering work that makes this vision possible, building the developer tools and services that enable game creators to craft incredible experiences, the commerce systems that connect publishers with their audience and help gamers engage with their next favorite games, the platforms on which those games play at their best, and the experiences that turn every screen into an Xbox.

Our developer team is seeking a Partner Software Engineer to enhance the Xbox developer platform in alignment with Xbox’s vision for the future of gaming. This person will have input into all aspects of the platform, but will be focused on developer tools, developer enablement of hardware (both cloud and local), and leveraging cloud and AI to drive innovation that enables game creators to spend as much of their time as possible making their games great.

This role will support creators across devices, including all screens that Xbox players enjoy their favorite titles on today, to next-generation hardware where Xbox will make our biggest leap forward yet. You will help craft the developer tools that empower game creators to build, measure and perfect amazing games for all gaming device types. You will work closely with industry leaders across hardware, software, and services, including game studios and middleware providers. You will be a key part of how game development evolves going forward.

Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals.
