We are building the Intelligent Conversation and Communications Cloud (IC3). We power Microsoft’s first-party real-time conversation products, notably Skype and Teams with many millions of users, by providing reliable and high-quality audio and video calling, meetings, and chat services that work every time, from anywhere, on any device. And we expose our core capabilities to third-party partners, with which they can bring conversations to life in their own products. With IC3, we will enable customers to do more by making conversations on our platform more intelligent, surfacing useful information in real-time and taking actions on the customers’ behalf during the conversation. We will learn from each conversation. Every call, meeting, or chat will make the next one better.

The Web Media Experience team is responsible for development of a state of the art media platform that runs on web and powers rich real-time communication experiences across a variety of Microsoft products, including Microsoft Teams, Azure Communication Services, Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Skype. In our team we have a vision of a communication technology that fits so well into everyone's everyday life that it remains unnoticed, and everything we do is targeted towards getting us closer to realizing our vision. We are looking for passionate engineers to join us in our journey, to help take the platform powering web-based high quality real-time communication experiences towards our grand vision.

We want you because you have an insatiable passion for technology, your constant intellectual curiosity and willingness to learn, your ability to communicate well in a team environment, your desire to make our team better with your contributions and of course your ability to deliver the right results at the right time.
