Microsoft Edge represents a great growth opportunity for the company. We adopted the Chromium open-source project in the development of Microsoft Edge to create better web compatibility for our customers and reduce fragmentation for all web developers. With the first stable version that was first released in January 2020, we built a strong foundation that has been well received by the community. We are now on a journey to help deliver on unmet customer needs while contributing to the Chromium OSS project in a way that helps us move the broader web forward.

As a Senior Program Manager on the Microsoft Edge Web Platform team, you will work closely with internal and external web developers to understand their unmet needs. Using these learnings, you will define metrics for success that tie back to developer outcomes; rapidly prototype and test solutions with your engineering team; and iterate frequently while you launch/evangelize new solutions and measure their success in the wild. You will also work with browser engineers and web experts around the world to make the web better for everyone through your involvement in various web standards bodies.

Come join us on our mission to make Edge the most compelling browser in the world by advancing the web platform for developers and enabling great experiences on a variety of devices!
