Overview
Performance and responsiveness are fundamental to every Windows device—they shape how customers start their day, launch apps, multitask, create, connect, and stay in flow. Design, develop, and maintain performance assessment solutions that evaluate responsiveness and user experience across Windows devices. Build diagnostic and analysis capabilities that transform complex runtime data into actionable engineering insights. Investigate performance regressions and identify bottlenecks across operating systems, storage, memory, application, and platform components. Develop scalable tooling, trace-processing systems, and automation frameworks that accelerate root-cause analysis and issue resolution. Define and maintain performance metrics, measurement methodologies, and reporting standards used across validation environments. Collaborate with engineering teams to drive performance improvements
