Senior Software Engineer, Windows/Desktop Applications

📋 Description

• Lead design, architecture, and development of native Windows desktop apps using Windows App SDK, WinUI (or related UI frameworks), C#, XAML, and — when needed — C++.
• Define and enforce best-practices for Windows desktop development across the codebase: code architecture, performance, memory usage, responsive UI, cross-version compatibility (Windows 10/11+), and maintainability.
• Drive accessibility efforts: integrate and validate accessibility APIs (e.g. Microsoft UI Automation or other relevant Windows accessibility frameworks), ensure UI controls, focus management, keyboard navigation, screen-reader support, and usability for users with disabilities.
• Collaborate closely with product designers, UX researchers, QA, and other stakeholders to shape feature planning, UI/UX architecture, and long-term roadmap for the Windows platform.
• Take ownership of full lifecycle of features: conception → design → implementation → testing → release → maintenance. Ensure quality, reliability, and consistency across releases.
• Identify, diagnose, and resolve complex bugs, performance bottlenecks, memory leaks, rendering issues, or compatibility problems — and propose robust architectural or design solutions.

🎯 Requirements

• 3+ years Windows desktop dev using Windows App SDK, WinUI, C#, XAML; C++ a plus.
• Deep understanding of Windows app architecture and interop between managed and native code.
• Proven track record shipping production desktop apps with reliability, performance, and maintainability.
• Strong experience with Windows accessibility APIs (UI Automation or similar).
• Excellent software fundamentals: OOP, design patterns, DS, algorithms, memory management, multithreading.
• Experience leading technical design, mentoring engineers, code reviews, and architecture decisions.

🎁 Benefits

• A high-impact role shaping the Windows product and user experience.
• A collaborative, flat-structure engineering culture.
• Opportunities to lead — mentor others, steer technical direction, and grow into broader leadership roles.
• Flexibility, autonomy, and end-to-end feature ownership.
• A purpose-driven mission delivering reliable, accessible software.
