The role is titled 'Software Engineer 2', which maps to Microsoft's IC3 level — confirmed by the pay band label 'Software Engineering IC3'. This is treated as a Mid-level role.
The required qualifications accept a Bachelor's degree OR equivalent experience, so no formal degree is hard-gated.
The coding language requirement lists C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, and Python as examples ('including, but not limited to'); C# is used as the primary skill name with the others captured as alternatives.
All AI/cloud/domain skills (Azure AI, LLMs, Copilot, Azure, microservices, prompt engineering, Dynamics CRM) appear under Preferred Qualifications or are framed with 'a plus', 'preferred', 'familiarity', or 'exposure to'.
The base pay range of $102,100–$202,200/year is the standard US range; a higher range of $133,800–$219,200/year applies to the San Francisco Bay Area and New York City metro areas.
No explicit office location is stated beyond 'across the U.S.'; Microsoft's Redmond/Seattle headquarters is used as the default CBSA. The role does not appear to be fully remote.
