Responsibilities:

Design: Guides team in creating clear and articulated plan for testing, and defines success for test outcomes. Identifies needs for a broad versus selected approach in testing mechanisms and makes informed decisions to implement the most effective tests. Leads and guides efforts to augment test cases and ensure the solutions have good test coverage. Leads efforts to ensure the scalability and reliability of the test framework during design. Leads efforts to integrate automation features during testing planning.

Coding: Coaches others to review code of a product to assure it meets the team's and Microsoft's quality standards, is reliable and accurate, and is appropriate for the scale of the product/solution. Applies feedback to current and future iterations. Participates in code reviews to ensure coding standards are followed. Considers diagnosability, reliability, and maintainability when reviewing code and understands when code is ready to be shared or delivered. Applies and screens for coding patterns and best practices in reviews, and provides feedback on code to drive adherence to best practices.

Reliability and Supportability: Integrates, designs, and reviews others work across a team or product to integrate instrumentation for gathering telemetry data on system behavior such as performance, reliability, availability, utility, and safety mechanisms. Guides others to drive sustainment of feedback loops from telemetry resulting in subsequent designs. Ensures solutions are scalable, financially responsible, and meet capture/storage guidelines. Leads creation of outputs of telemetry such as notifications or dashboards.

Understand User Requirements: Guides partnership with appropriate stakeholders (e.g., project manager, technical lead) to determine user requirements within and across teams. Leverages a variety of feedback channels to incorporate insights into future designs or solution fixes. Guides incorporation of appropriate continuous feedback loops measuring customer value, usage patterns, and other actionable metrics of value. Begins to determine additional critical metrics.

Implement: Acts as an expert and guides team experimentation to determine the effectiveness of changes and monitors developments for prototyping and testing across products and multiple teams, interprets results, and makes a decision on next steps or ship decision from results. Ensures there are time and resources for engineers to conduct experiments.

Guides team to drive multiple group's project plans, release plans, and work items in coordination with appropriate stakeholders (e.g., project managers). Breaks down very long-term project vision into milestones. Guides to other members for project estimation. Anticipates future goals to guide future resources. Reviews, implements, and recommends updates to resource management in response to changing context.
