In the last year, the Microsoft Edge team announced our intention to adopt the Chromium open source project in the development of our browser to create better web compatibility for our customers, and a less fragmented web for all web developers. We’ve started down that journey releasing early previews to customers and invited them to come along on our journey.  

The Edge Developer Experiences team is chartered to build the cross-platform web application story and developer tools that help web developers build, test, debug, optimize and deploy their sites and cross-platform web applications more productively. Cross-platform and cross-device Progressive Web Apps, WebView, Edge DevTools, WebDriver, Webhint are examples of technologies we build and ship. Our goal is to help make web an excellent canvas that developers choose for their creations that span across Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android and more. We partner closely with several teams across Microsoft - VS Code, TypeScript, Visual Studio, Office, Surface, Xbox, Windows etc. to enable developers to build great applications using web technologies. We are deeply engaged in the Chromium OSS project and continue to work closely with other browser vendors, web standards bodies, and the open source community at large.  

Given the breadth of technology used to build interactive and immersive experiences on the web, you will have the opportunity to not only enable others to be successful but learn new technologies yourself. The tools, libraries, and frameworks leverage by developers are ever-changing, so we work in a fast-paced world that requires customer empathy.
