Visual Studio Code is where millions of developers turn ideas into working software. We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer in Zurich to help build the next generation of editing, development, and GitHub Copilot experiences. You will help make complex developer workflows feel simple, from everyday coding and debugging to delegating work to AI. This is hands-on product engineering in a large TypeScript and Rust codebase: you will shape a feature or technical area's direction, implement it, and keep improving it after release. We value engineers who care about how software feels, make sound decisions amid ambiguity, and learn from what they ship.

Tasks

  • Identify product and engineering opportunities, helping define what to build through user feedback, experimentation, and technical insight.
  • Shape technical direction within your area, balancing near-term product needs with long-term maintainability.
  • Lead hands-on design, implementation, testing, and delivery of VS Code features, coordinating contributors and partner-team dependencies as needed.
  • Own outcomes after release: understand adoption, investigate quality issues, and use telemetry, evaluations, and user feedback to guide improvements.
  • Improve responsiveness and reliability through profiling, debugging, and automated testing; strengthen the tools that let the team experiment and ship confidently.
  • Work in the open: discuss designs publicly, investigate community-reported issues, and collaborate directly with developers and extension authors.
  • Mentor engineers and improve technical decisions through constructive design and code reviews.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or related technical field AND 4+ years technical engineering experience with coding in languages including, but not limited to, C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, or Python OR equivalent experience.
  • Solid programming and application engineering skills, with the ability to become productive in a large TypeScript and Rust codebase.
  • Experience leading technical design and hands-on delivery for complex projects involving multiple contributors, within one team or across partner teams.
  • Sound product and engineering judgment, including the ability to turn an ambiguous user problem into a practical, maintainable solution.
  • Solid communication and collaboration skills, including working across team boundaries and helping other engineers grow.
  • Master's Degree in Computer Science or related technical field AND 6+ years technical engineering experience with coding in languages including, but not limited to, C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, or Python OR Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or related technical field AND 8+ years technical engineering experience with coding in languages including, but not limited to, C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, or Python OR equivalent experience. (Preferred)
  • Experience building interactive applications, with attention to performance, accessibility, or cross-platform behavior. (Preferred)
  • Experience designing APIs, extension points, or reusable components. (Preferred)
  • Experience improving products through direct user feedback, telemetry, or experiments. (Preferred)
  • Practical familiarity with AI coding tools and judgment about where they help, fail, or change development workflows. (Preferred)
  • Experience building AI-powered features or contributing to developer tools or open-source projects. (Preferred)
  • Ability to meet Microsoft, customer and/or government security screening requirements, including passing the Microsoft Cloud Background Check upon hire/transfer and every two years thereafter.

Benefits

  • The typical base pay range for this role across Switzerland is CHF 146,200.00 - CHF 245,900.00 per year.
  • Certain roles may be eligible for benefits and other compensation.
  • Work site: 3 days per week in-office.
  • Travel: Less than 25%.
  • Employment type: Full-Time.

Das Team

We work in the open, with direct feedback from developers and extension authors. You will collaborate with engineers, designers, researchers, and product teams across our team, GitHub, and Microsoft. We combine community feedback, research, experiments, and engineering judgment to decide what to build. Performance, accessibility, extensibility, security, and developer control are part of the product, not finishing touches.
