Join the Xbox Experiences team as a Software Engineer I focused on client-side features for Xbox Cloud Gaming using React and TypeScript. You will design, develop, and maintain frontend features across Smart TVs and other platforms to deliver intuitive, performant experiences for millions of players. You will collaborate with cross-functional partners to define requirements and deliver end-to-end solutions, and contribute to debugging, quality investigations, and ongoing improvements for a live, consumer-facing service. You will write high-quality, maintainable code and participate in code reviews and team engineering practices, communicating clearly with teammates and stakeholders.
Team Xbox is on a mission to bring the joy and community of gaming to everyone on the planet. A core part of that mission is ensuring that Xbox experiences are available wherever players are—across consoles, PCs, mobile devices, Smart TVs, and emerging platforms. Our goal is simple but ambitious: make every screen an Xbox.
The Xbox Experiences team creates client-side applications that bring this vision to life. Our goal is to deliver reliable, cloud-based Xbox apps so players can easily discover, launch, and play games on a wide range of devices. We especially focus on Smart TVs and other game streaming capable platforms, making it possible for people to enjoy top-quality gaming without a console, right on devices they already own. These applications must feel intuitive, performant, and consistent, regardless of the hardware they run on.
As a Software Engineer I, you will contribute directly to the design and development of these experiences, working primarily with React, TanStack and TypeScript to build clientside features used by millions of players. This is a highly collaborative role that combines handson engineering with real ownership. You will contribute to features that ship to millions of users and help solve platformspecific challenges that arise when delivering experiences across diverse hardware environments. If you enjoy building polished consumer experiences and working across disciplines to bring complex products to market, this role offers the opportunity to make a meaningful impact within Xbox.
