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 to demonstrate compliance for product features. Develops understanding of the implications of onboarding new technologies following expectations of compliance at Microsoft.
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.
Reviews current developments and proactively seeks new knowledge that will improve the availability, reliability, efficiency, observability, and performance of products while also driving consistency in monitoring and operations at scale.
Implement
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 supports deployment to customers following the correct measures to push features out to customers. Learns about and considers the impact of build deployments on both users and other services. Learns about best practices for the deployment of features safely.
Understand User Requirements
Contributes in partnership with appropriate stakeholders (e.g., project manager, technical lead) to determine user requirements for a feature. Considers a variety of feedback channels to incorporate insights into future designs or solution fixes. Begins to incorporate appropriate continuous feedback loops measuring customer value, usage patterns, and other actionable metrics of value.
Coding
Learns to review code and helps to review code of others to ensure it meets the team's and Microsoft's quality 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.
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. Applies coding patterns and best practices to write code.
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.
Design
Supports identification of dependencies, and the development of design documents for a product feature with oversight. Learns and helps to identify other teams and technologies that will be leveraged, how they will interact, and when one's system may provide support to others. Learns about back-end dependencies associated with product, application, service, or platform functionality for product features. Learns about downstream effects of solutions and work provided.
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. Produces code to test hypotheses for technical solutions and assists with technical validation efforts. Helps with and participates in the development of design documents for simple designs or User Stories with oversight, helps to determine the technology that will be leveraged, and how they will interact.
