Are you eager to shape the future of .NET by working on one of its core components? Join our team as a Software Engineer focused on MSBuild, a powerful, general-purpose build system that powers Visual Studio and the .NET SDK.

As a member of our team, you'll play a key role in advancing MSBuild, an essential part of the .NET ecosystem trusted to build millions of projects worldwide. MSBuild is open-source, cross-platform, and deeply integrated with both Visual Studio and the .NET SDK. In this role, you'll help design and implement new build features, boost performance and reliability, investigate opportunities to leverage the power of AI, and ensure MSBuild evolves to support modern development workflows.

We work in the open on GitHub, collaborating with the global developer community to deliver high-quality tooling relied upon by developers everywhere. If you thrive on solving complex engineering challenges, enjoy working across diverse platforms, and are passionate about contributing to one of the world's most impactful software development ecosystems, we'd love to hear from you.

Responsibilities
  • Design, develop, and maintain MSBuild features and infrastructure across platforms
  • Implement new build capabilities and evolve existing APIs to improve performance, reliability, and developer experience
  • Investigate, diagnose, and resolve complex issues in build scenarios across Windows, Linux, and macOS
  • Optimize MSBuild for a wide variety of workloads including cloud-native, mobile, and enterprise applications
  • Collaborate with other .NET teams and contribute to open-source development on GitHub
  • Participate in design discussions, code reviews, and architectural decisions for the build system
  • Explore and integrate emerging AI techniques to enhance build diagnostics, performance tuning, and developer workflows
Qualifications
  • Bachelor's or master's degree in computer science or a related field, or equivalent work experience
  • Strong programming skills (preferably C#, but can also be Java, C++, Go, ...)
  • Experience with large-scale software systems and a passion for developer productivity
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to collaborate across diverse, distributed teams
  • Familiarity with open-source development and GitHub workflows and understanding of build systems would help you to ramp up faster
