At Microsoft Edge, performance defines the user experience. We are looking for a Principal Software Engineer to help shape the future of browser performance across real‑world scenarios—navigating websites, interacting with content, scrolling pages, and responding instantly to user input. In this role, you will own performance outcomes for major browser subsystems and help ensure Edge feels fast, responsive, and reliable for millions of users every day.

You will lead the design and evolution of systems that make performance durable as the product grows. This includes setting architectural direction, modernizing legacy implementations, and establishing clear performance patterns so new features ship with performance built in—not added later. You will work hands‑on in the codebase, using real user signals, traces, and data to understand where time is spent and to drive deep improvements in navigation, input responsiveness, startup, and ongoing interaction quality.

Your impact will scale through systems and influence. You will advance performance tooling, automation, and AI‑assisted diagnostics to help teams detect, understand, and prevent performance issues before they reach customers. Partnering closely with feature teams, you will help make performance a first‑class design constraint across Edge. Success in this role is measured by sustained improvements in real user experiences—faster interactions, smoother input, fewer recurring regressions, and a higher performance bar across the organization.
