Windows Application Developer - Partner Engineer
We’re looking for a Windows Application Developer - Partner Engineer to join our Windows Ecosystem Enablement team.
This role is focused on helping strategic ISV partners bring their desktop applications into the Windows ecosystem and the Microsoft Store. You will work directly with senior engineers, solve complex packaging and platform issues, build reference implementations, and navigate Microsoft’s internal teams to unblock partner success.
This is not a traditional Windows developer role. We are looking for someone with deep understanding of the Windows ecosystem—someone who understands how software is packaged, distributed, installed, and integrated at the OS level.

Core Responsibilities
Partner Technical Support & Onboarding

-
Support ISV partners with packaging, publishing, and onboarding applications into the Microsoft Store

-




Resolve technical blockers related to installers, Store dependencies, Windows Update, drivers, policies, and OS-level integrations

-
Help partners adopt the right architecture across Win32, .NET, UWP, WebView2, PWA, MSIX, and unpackaged app models

Prototyping & Technical Problem Solving

-
Build small tools, sample apps, sandbox environments, and reference implementations to reproduce and solve partner issues

-
Create proof-of-concepts without touching client codebases

-
Deliver targeted fixes across packaging workflows, SDK usage, and publishing processes

Internal Microsoft Collaboration

-
Work across Microsoft teams including Windows Store, WinGet, Copilot, and platform engineering groups

-
Identify the right internal stakeholders, escalate technical blockers, and drive solutions across siloed teams

-
Support high-priority partner escalations in fast-moving, cross-functional environments
