Applies metrics to drive the quality and stability of code, as well as appropriate coding patterns and best practices.
• Applies debugging tools and examines logs, telemetry, and other methods to verify assumptions through writing and developing code proactively before issues occur and reactively as issues occur for products. Conducts retrospective debugging of solutions to identify root causes of problems.
• Reviews the code of a product to assure it meets the team's and Microsofts quality standards, is reliable and accurate, and is appropriate for the scale of the product/solution area. Applies feedback to current and future iterations. Participates in code reviews to ensure coding standards are followed. Considers diagnosability, reliability, and maintainability when reviewing code, and understands when code is ready to be shared or delivered. Applies and screens for coding patterns and best practices in reviews, and provides feedback on code to drive adherence to best practices.
• Leads discussions for the architecture of products/solutions and creates proposals for architecture by testing design hypotheses and helping to refine code plans. Provides reactions, proposed solutions, and inputs to architects. Partially owns solutions for architecting of solutions, with minimal technical oversight. Develops design documents for designs or User Stories, and determines the technology that will be leveraged and how it will interact. Shares learnings and identified solutions from investigations with the team and owns for some design decisions. Assures system architecture meets security and compliance requirements and expectations.
• Independently creates a clear and articulated plan for testing and assuring quality of solutions, and defines success for outcomes of tests (e.g., unit tests). Identifies needs for a broad versus selected approach in testing mechanisms and makes informed decisions to implement the most effective tests. Drives efforts to add new tests, remove antiquated tests, and aggregate tests to improve the test suite. Improves recommendations to the team and augments test cases to ensure that solutions have good test coverage. Drives efforts to continually integrate automation features when planning for testing.
• Drives identification of dependencies and the development of design documents for a product, application, service or platform. Identifies other teams and technologies that will be leveraged, how they will interact, and when one's own system may provide support to others. Determines back-end dependencies associated with product, application, service, or platform functionality for the solution/product area.
