Produces code to test hypotheses for technical solutions and assists with technical validation efforts. Helps with and participates in the development of design documents for simple designs or User Stories with oversight, helps to determine the technology that will be leveraged, and how they will interact. Escalates findings from investigations to team members for design decisions. Learns about the implications of security and compliance requirements in systems architecture.

· Collaborates with others to create a clear and articulated plan for testing and assuring quality of solutions. Helps to augment test cases and assures that features have good test coverage. Learns to integrate automation into testing during planning where applicable.

· Supports identification of dependencies, and the development of design documents for a product feature with oversight. Learns and helps to identify other teams and technologies that will be leveraged, how they will interact, and when one's system may provide support to others. Learns about back-end

dependencies associated with product, application, service, or platform functionality for product features. Learns about downstream effects of solutions and work provided.

Coding

· With guidance, learns to create and implement code for a product, service, or feature reusing code as applicable. Writes and learns to create code that is extensible and maintainable. Learns about and applies diagnosability, reliability, and maintainability, and understands when the code is ready to be shared and delivered. Applies coding patterns and best practices to write code.

· Learns about and applies knowledge of debugging tools, logs, telemetry, and other methods to proactively flags issues before they occur and reactively flag issues as they occur for product features. Learns to conduct retrospective debugging of solutions to identify root causes of problems.

· Learns to review code and helps to review code of others to ensure it meets the team's and Microsoft's quality standards. Participates in code review processes for self-development, gathers feedback, and learns about coding standards and the team's features. Applies coding patterns and best practices.

playbook. Escalates more complex problems to other DRIs as to status. Responds within Service Level Agreement (SLA) timeframe. Escalates issues to appropriate owners.

· Learns to contribute to efforts to integrate instrumentation for gathering telemetry data on system behavior such as performance, reliability, availability, usage, and safety mechanisms. Supports the maintenance of feedback loops from telemetry resulting in subsequent designs.

· Learns to contribute to efforts to collect, classify, and analyze data with some oversight on a range of metrics (e.g., health of the system, where bugs might be occurring). Contributes to the refinement and integration of feedback in product features by escalating findings from analyses to inform decisions regarding the engineering of products.

Engineering Excellence

· Learns about, shares new ideas, and leverages software developer tools to create, debug, and maintain code for features. Uses internal tools and open source when possible.

· Learns to develop and contribute to automation within production and deployment of a product feature. Runs code in simulated, or other non-production environments to confirm functionality and error-free runtime for products with oversight.
