Senior Software Engineer

Overview

We are seeking a creative and self-directed Senior Software Engineer to architect and build next-generation web experiences that differentiate Bing Sports from the competition.

You will own the front-end architecture and UI orchestration that powers these experiences, ensuring they are high-performance, accessible, and provide a "wow" factor that sets Bing apart in a crowded market.

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. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.
