Software Engineer II

Are you passionate about solving complex problems and building products that make a real impact? Do you thrive in a collaborative environment surrounded by exceptional engineers? The Microsoft Clarity Apps team is seeking a talented Software Engineer II to help design, optimize, and maintain the Clarity SDKs for native mobile applications—empowering our customers to understand user behavior and achieve their business goals.

As a Software Engineer, you will contribute to the design and development of cross-cutting features across all Clarity SDKs—including Android, iOS, Flutter, React Native, and more—guided by customer feedback and real-world insights. Our goal is to deliver the most performant SDKs in the industry, which will challenge you to apply advanced profiling, optimization, and innovative problem-solving techniques. You’ll also play a customer-facing role, collaborating directly with users to understand their needs, gather feedback, and ensure their issues and pain points are addressed effectively. A key part of this role involves working on the core of our SDKs—the visual capture engine that powers session replay—which demands solid investigative and reverse-engineering skills to adapt to evolving OS-level changes while continuously enhancing performance and stability.

We’re looking for an engineer who thrives in dynamic environments, embraces technical challenges, and shows flexibility as our SDK portfolio and team charter evolve. This position offers a unique opportunity to accelerate your career growth, sharpen your analytical thinking, and strengthen your foundational software engineering skills.
