• Detail Oriented-The ability to attend to and verify the accuracy and completeness of detailed information in documents, on the computer, and/or in other work products. This includes being able to code, file, compile, transcribe, classify, and/or track details from a variety of different sources/problems/issues.

• Coding-Reviews the code 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 area.
• Applies feedback to current and future iterations. 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. Leads by example within the team by producing extensible and maintainable code.
• Optimizes, debugs, refactors, and reuses code to improve performance and maintainability, effectiveness, and return on investment (ROI). Applies metrics to drive the quality and stability of code, as well as appropriate coding patterns and best practices.
• Design-Independently creates a clear and articulated plan for testing and assuring quality of solutions, and defines success for outcomes of tests (e.g., unit tests). Identifies needs for a broad versus selected approach in testing mechanisms and makes informed decisions to implement the most effective tests.
• Drives efforts to add new tests, aggregate tests to improve the test suite and ensure that solutions have good test coverage.
• Drives efforts to continually integrate automation features when planning for testing. Drives identification of dependencies and the development of design documents for a product, application, service or platform.

Maintains communication with key partners across the Microsoft ecosystem of engineers. Acts as a key contact for leadership to ensure alignment with partners' expectations.
• Considers partner teams across own organization and their end goals for products to drive and achieve desirable user experiences and fitting dynamic needs of partners/customers through product development. Builds, enhances, reuses, contributes to, and identifies new software developer tools to support other programs and applications to create, debug, and maintain code for products.
• Uses open source when possible. Begins to develop skills in other tools outside areas of expertise. Identifies internal tools and creates tools that will be useful for creating the product, determining if methods are still applicable for the current solution.
• Shares best practices and teaches others about new tools and strategies. Reliability and Supportability-Acts as a Designated Responsible Individual (DRI) and guides other engineers by developing and following the playbook, working on call to monitor system/product/service for degradation, downtime, or interruptions.
• Alerts stakeholders as to status and initiates actions to restore system/product/service for simple and complex problem. Responds within Service Level Agreement (SLA) timeframe.
• Drives efforts to reduce incident volume, looking globally at incidences and providing broad resolutions.
