Fancy a job in the Microsoft UK ISV technical team?

  • Article

If you are:

  • a senior technologist (Application Architect, Senior Developer or similar)
  • with strong experience in developing solutions using the Windows platform (Visual Studio, SQL Server, IIS etc)
  • fancy working for Microsoft UK
  • and are not put off by these pictures of my team
  • (and it is before 1st May 2011)

then I would highly recommend you check out the job posting for two positions as Architect Evangelists in my team.

My personal ideal “new colleague” would also:

  • Enjoy online FPS gaming and be as excited about Battlefield 3 as I am
  • Value the importance of a regular weekly bath
  • Not come from North Shields as I have mental scars from my youth from the brief time I spent there

But… don’t be too put off by my list. I’m not the one making the final decision.
