The vision of the Display Advertising team at Microsoft is “Advertising people want on platforms they love”.

We are looking for developers to create infrastructure for serving video advertising at internet scale. You will collaborate closely with program manager and business planners to define product requirements, distill them into design and technical specifications, design, rapidly prototype, and implement the core infrastructure capabilities. As part of the development process you will ensure code quality through test driven development and factor write and design systems with an eye on maintainability, performance, and scale.

Essential attributes and competencies include: 

•Minimum of 7 years of experience shipping complex, high-quality software products
