Qualifications
What You'll DoTake the lead in designing, architecting, and developing native Windows desktop applications using the Windows App SDK, WinUI (or similar UI frameworks), C#, XAML, and C++ as needed. Establish and uphold best practices for Windows desktop development across the codebase, focusing on code architecture, performance, memory management, responsive UI, cross-version compatibility (Windows 10/11+), and maintainability. Champion accessibility initiatives by integrating and validating support for accessibility APIs (like Microsoft UI Automation), ensuring UI controls, focus management, keyboard navigation, screen-reader compatibility, and usability for users with disabilities. Collaborate intimately with product designers, UX researchers, QA, and other stakeholders to guide feature planning, UI/UX architecture, and the long-term roadmap for the Windows platform. Own the complete feature lifecycle: from conception to design, implementation, testing, release, and maintenance, ensuring quality, reliability, and consistency across all releases. Identify, troubleshoot, and resolve complex bugs, performance bottlenecks, memory leaks, rendering issues, or compatibility challenges, proposing robust architectural or design solutions.
