Descripción del puesto

We’re looking for a Windows Application Developer - Partner Engineer to join our Windows Ecosystem Enablement team.
This role is focused on helping strategic ISV partners bring their desktop applications into the Windows ecosystem and the Microsoft Store. You will work directly with senior engineers, solve complex packaging and platform issues, build reference implementations, and navigate Microsoft’s internal teams to unblock partner success.
This is not a traditional Windows developer role. We are looking for someone with deep understanding of the Windows ecosystem—someone who understands how software is packaged, distributed, installed, and integrated at the OS level.

Core Responsibilities
Partner Technical Support & Onboarding

• Support ISV partners with packaging, publishing, and onboarding applications into the Microsoft Store

• Resolve technical blockers related to installers, Store dependencies, Windows Update, drivers, policies, and OS-level integrations

• Help partners adopt the right architecture across Win32, .NET, UWP, WebView2, PWA, MSIX, and unpackaged app models

Requisitos

Required Experience
Strong Windows Ecosystem Background

• 5+ years of experience working with Windows applications and desktop software distribution

• Strong understanding of software packaging, Windows platform integrations, OS-level APIs, and familiarity with installers and driver-related concepts, with ability to quickly ramp up on deeper packaging technologies.

• Experience across Win32, .NET, UWP, WebView2, PWAs, or similar desktop architectures.

• Commercial Software Distribution Experience

• Background working at companies that ship and distribute commercial software products

• Exposure to packaging, deployment, signing, Store submission, and operating system integration

• Experience only building internal business systems is not enough for this role

• Prototyping & Troubleshooting Mindset

• Ability to independently reproduce issues, create sandbox environments, and build reference implementations

• Strong problem-solving skills across low-level platform issues and technical ambiguity

• Strong Communication & Ownership

• Comfortable working directly with clients and senior engineers

• Able to explain technical tradeoffs clearly and drive solutions proactively

• Strong ownership mindset with a bias toward action

• Nice to Have

• Experience with MSIX, unpackaged apps, Xbox-to-Windows migration, PWA packaging, and Windows Store publishing

• Familiarity with installer technologies such as WiX

• Experience with GitHub Actions, SDK fixes, and CI publishing workflows

• Data pipeline literacy (Spark, Fabric, large-scale systems)

• Experience using AI tools like Copilot for prototyping and workflow acceleration

• Previous Microsoft experience is a strong plus
