Microsoft's Mixed Reality team is seeking a Software Engineer II to work on the Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS), a groundbreaking project contracted by the United States Army. This role focuses on designing, implementing, and securing customized operating systems for edge compute devices operating in extreme environments.

The position is part of the Mixed Reality division, which is building next-generation devices and infrastructure for training and in-field deployment scenarios. The team incorporates cutting-edge technologies including sensors, computer vision, machine learning, human-computer interaction, and AI to create holographic devices that put technology on a human path.

As a Software Engineer II, you'll be responsible for working with both internal and external partners to balance application integration and security requirements. The role requires expertise in Windows Server systems, DevOps practices, and secure system design. You'll be working in a hybrid environment (up to 50% work from home) with 0-25% travel requirements.

The compensation is competitive, ranging from $98,300 to $193,200 per year (higher in SF Bay Area and NYC), along with comprehensive benefits including industry-leading healthcare, educational resources, savings and investments, parental leave, and generous time off.

This is an excellent opportunity for a mid-level engineer interested in working at the intersection of mixed reality, military applications, and system security. The role combines technical challenges with meaningful impact, as you'll be contributing to innovative technology that enhances military training and operations.

The position requires U.S. citizenship or permanent residency due to export control regulations and government contract requirements. Microsoft is committed to diversity and inclusion, offering equal opportunities to all qualified applicants regardless of background.
