A designer who is inclusive and can collaborate independently with key stakeholders and enrich the triad (PM, Eng., UX) partnership. Having an ability to validate solutions by creating and driving usability studies and conducting user interviews is a plus. If simplifying complexity, pixel perfection and exploring new interaction paradigms excites you, then we can’t wait to hear from you. Together we will define how millions of people use and experience Windows in their work and life. Apply today!
Come be a meaningful part of a growing team that values diversity of thought and recognizes everyone for their personal strengths and desires to learn and grow.
