Microsoft International Development Centers
I've got good news for International job seekers interested in Microsoft software development opportunities, but not ready to relocate Stateside: we have jobs in the places you live!
This is the first in a series to showcase some of our global development centers and development teams. They are working on a wide variety of different technology and products with the team sizes range from big to small. The one thing that they all have in common is that they have huge impact on products that are used around the world. I'm looking forward to sharing the interviews and pictures from these places around the world.
So keep an eye on JobsBlog for my posts over the next months as we go around the world - meeting the people who build the software we use. Our first stop next week will be in Oslo, Norway.

-AnneTales from the MNC: The team behind Windows Phone’s breakthrough design
As I've mentioned before, the Microsoft News Center (MNC) is a great place to check out the latest official news about our company. But they are also running an incredible series about the engineers behind the amazing products at our company.James Drage, Ricardo Espinoza, Joshua Phillips and Sue Loh - who we profiled here on JobsBlog for her work with high school students - sat down with an interviewer at the MNC to talk about their groundbreaking work on Windows Phone's new look, Mango, and life beyond Microsoft.
Of course you can always read the full article here, but I can't help but highlight my favorite portion of the piece for you here. Especially since it goes to the heart of why I think working at Microsoft is so phenomenal; it's all about the impact. So get a little taste in this excerpt and then head on over and read the full story to see how else these engineers are creating extraordinary experiences every day.
MNC: What’s the thing you’re most proud of about your work?
Drage: I’m proud of the people I’ve managed and mentored to help make this a better company. While I’m not currently a people manager directly, I have been in the past, and that experience has always rubbed off on me. I feel you can always be five or 10 times more effective if you help other people to grow. I’m also proud of the products we’ve put together, especially Windows Phone. I talk to people a lot about their cell phone, and I always get really positive feedback about the Windows Phone that we’ve built.
Espinoza: I’d have to agree with that. I like to walk into the stores and see the Windows Phone displayed, knowing that I helped to build it. It makes me proud to see the phones out there in the field.
Loh: Yeah, the impact we’re able to have on other people’s lives is really amazing. From my years on Windows CE and Windows Phone, there are literally millions of devices out there running software I’ve worked on. I’ve loved the interaction I’ve had with OEMs [original equipment manufacturers], software developers and end users over the years. I’ve been proud to influence so many peoples’ lives.
