Are you looking for an exciting project and a culturally healthy team? The Windows Notification Platform makes apps feel *alive* by connecting app servers and user devices across the Windows and Microsoft ecosystem. Texts, Photos, or Cloud notifications flow through our platform in near real-time between services, Xboxes, Desktops, HoloLenses, and mobile devices. It is an essential part of apps and platforms such as Project Rome(Connected Devices), Skype, Edge browser, Office, and OneDrive. The key scenarios are Xbox communicating with Alexa, and users’ desktop computers communicating with their phones to deliver texts and photos(Your Phone App). It provides a persistent connection between the user devices and our cloud services to ensure the data is transferred in near real-time.  Also, we are investing in cross-platform SDK that ships from Github for windows, Android, iOS, and Linux. If you want to grow your development skills, learn about networking, cross-platform, and API design, while building the foundation for Microsoft’s connected future – this is the team for you! Furthermore, this team is empowered by members from diverse backgrounds and committed to be inclusive in any matters. Please come join and help building an awesome team!
