Microsoft needs people to develop Windows Mobile 7 - you can apply too!
March 14, 2009 [General] | By Edward J. R.

Many people are working in Microsoft mobility: 400 people on non-Windows Mobile project of Roz Ho, and several hundred on Windows Mobile. It looks like Windows Mobile 7 is far from ready because Microsoft is searching for somebody to help with development of this new OS. Interestingly they claim that Windows Mobile 7 will be better than iPhone:

The Windows Mobile 7 team is searching for a Principal Development Manager

Do you have a passion for the mobile space? Enjoy big challenges, working with and learning from a high-performance team? Do you want to be part of driving the next big business for the company?

Windows Mobile 7 will change the way you view your phone. We aren’t just building a me-too iPhone or RIM competitor; we’re changing the way customers use and experience their device. In the OS Platform team we are responsible for the OS, file systems, security, hardware platforms and drivers, networking & connectivity, location framework and updateability. In other words, we build the foundation upon which the rest of Windows Mobile is built.

As Development Manager for the Core System, you will have both ICs and Leads reporting to you, with a team of approximately 20 developers. As part of a matrix style organization, you will work closely in a triad with your PM and test counterparts. Specific areas of ownership include the kernel, file systems, security, loader, and device management.

Your job will entail:
  • Building and leading a high performance team
  • Owning and driving the core os (kernel, file systems, security, and device management) features and roadmap for Windows Mobile
  • Defining an engineering system that can scale to large organizations and span multiple releases.
  • Driving quality and performance into the core platform.
  • Mentoring your organization and building a strong bench and successor.
Qualified candidates should posses:
  • 8+ years shipping MSFT products, with experience working through the full product cycle from initial design to final product delivery
  • Minimum 5 years of people management experience, ideally with a portion of that in a manager of managers role
  • Strong design, coding and debugging skills
  • Passion for product quality and excellence of the engineering system and work environment
  • Strong technical, leadership, written and verbal communication, and team collaboration skills
  • Understanding of OS fundamentals and low level system design.
  • BA/BS or MS degree in Computer Science or related technical discipline (preferred)
