Microsoft Ireland is synonymous with Sales, Marketing, Operations and Localisation but did you know that we are doing hard-core product and services development in Dublin as well. As of April 2005 we have been slowly building up our research and development capabilities and we now have over 100 people in the group. One of the biggest teams we have in the development centre is called Group Product Development – Europe (GPDE). This is a highly talented team that is working with Visualisation, Graphics, Mobile, Search and a lot more.

Recently we just set up 3 new teams in GPDE dealing with online experimentation, distributed computing and Windows Mobile applications. We now have 15 positions on offer to hire.

We currently have a variety of jobs on offer in the team including senior developers and testers and also some technical project management roles which we call Program Managers.

To find out more about these opportunities visit www.joinmicrosofteurope.com to see the micro-site that the team built that includes videos of team members, job descriptions, details on living in Ireland and descriptions of the projects on offer. There is also a section for the team blogs from which you can learn about some of the technologies and challenges they are currently working with.
