Indigo is hiring:

Do you want to...

  • Work on the next generation web services platform?
  • Work with the industry experts like Don Box?
  • Work with the creators of SOAP, WSDL and XML Gurus?
  • Contribute to the next generation web services protocol specifications?

Do you consider yourself to be smart, talented? Do you have passion for building the distributed computing platforms?

The Indigo team is hiring Software Design Engineer in Test (SDET), so send your resume our way. Wait, before you question the “Test” word in the above title, read what people have to say about SDET positions at Microsoft.

The SDET are not only great developers but they are great testers as well, they are creative, they think about using the programs in way the original developer never envisioned, they think about breaking the software, they are the first developers of Indigo.

    Hi Vipul,

    I am graduating soon with a undergrad degree in CS. Can you explain to me the difference at Microsoft between a "Software Test Engineer" and a SDET?

    Tim,

    First of all I apologize for the delayed response.

    The Microsoft career site has good definition (http://www.microsoft.com/careers/careerpath/technical/softwaretesting.mspx) of these positions. There is also in-depth description and skill requirements listed for both STE (http://www.microsoft.com/college/ft_softtesteng.mspx) and SDET (http://www.microsoft.com/college/ft_softdesengtest.mspx) positions on the career site.

    The STE or Software Test Engineer is a person who has the passion and creativity to break the software. He is required to have basic coding skills, but more emphasis is on the testing skills. The SDET has design, coding and testing skills.

    However Microsoft recently is trying hard to put STE and SDET on the same level. The Windows Server Division of which Indigo is part of have probably very few STE, if any.

    The STE levels previously started at around 56 whereas the SDET levels as well as SDE levels start at 59. Now there are exceptions to this, but generally that is the case.

    If you need more information feel free to send me email at vipulm@microsoft.com.

    You will get more idea by reading the following post from Greg Chappell and browsing through the comments. http://blogs.msdn.com/chappell/archive/2004/10/06/239001.aspx
