OverviewOn Xbox Team, 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 the Xbox Full Screen Experience on Windows, bringing Xbox to new devices with Cloud Gaming, and our recent launch of handheld PCs like the ROG Xbox Ally that allow gamers to play their entire PC and Xbox library on the go.
The Xbox Experiences and Platforms engineering team is looking for a Software Engineer I to help us build Game Pass experiences and bring new end-to-end features to the Xbox app for PC.
In your role, you will work with a diverse team of engineers, building experiences and infrastructure that drive subscriber engagement and growth in the PC ecosystem. We’re using React Native on Windows to enable cross-product code-sharing, and as an experience team, work with partners across Team Xbox up and down the stack to enable scenarios.
In this role, you will deliver product features and codebase improvements on the Xbox app for PC. Your success requires that you work closely with your feature crew, Product Management, and Design. As a feature expert, you will contribute to projects with meticulous execution, hold a high bar on coding standards and quality for your work, and partner with individuals on your team, providing a positive environment to build more end user features and quality improvements.

Curiosity to understand what excites our existing user base and what motivates new users to use our products is part of the job: we own the end-to-end experience.
