Job description:

Writes product code and solves complex problems

As a Software Development Engineer in the application domain of the Microsoft Business Solutions-Dynamics Ax product group you will be responsible to plan, design, implement, document and stabilize new features. The role will also demand that you will maintain and improve already existing code. All of the above will be done in close coordination with other team members and remote teams.

 "You come in every morning and check up on what you've built the night before, see if you've broken anything, or if you've got any bugs to take care of. Right now I'm working on three different design features, so I've got maybe three status meetings a week to check in with everybody--the testers, the developers, the Program Managers, and together we figure out what we need to do. The core of my job is designing new features and figuring out how to get them to work. I loved that you could pursue an idea seriously in college and have other people around to talk to about it. I wanted to stay in a place like that. And Microsoft turned out to be that place."

Job description:

Writes test code, creates test tools and improve product quality.

As a Software Development Engineer in Test in the application domain of the Microsoft Business Solutions-Dynamics Ax product group you will be responsible for setting up test plans, develop and execute tests for business logic, as well as automate these test efforts. Furthermore you will be responsible for the User Assistance and functional knowledge transfer of the features developed within the team. All of the above will be done in close coordination with other team members and teams.

"Essentially, the old notion was that as a tester," Jake explains, "you'd get a big chunk of code already written, and debug it. My team is trying to make computers more useful, so we're looking at everything in a new way: including testing. Here, I've been able to develop a smarter testing tool, which I'm trying to patent. And now, I spend a lot of time going around to other groups in the company, explaining the methodology and working with them to solve their own problems. I also make sure my product goes up bug free, and make sure a solution is created for any bugs before it launches. I meet with other teams and with Developers and Program Managers, and I write whitepapers. And I help to shape the product early on."
