Job Description

Responsibilities

• Own the roadmap, priorities, and execution for a clearly defined area of the printer and print-firmware stack, from problem definition through ship, with support from engineering and PM leadership.
• Lead your area's migration off legacy, vulnerability-prone print drivers to the modern print stack as part of the release.
• Define and track quality and security measures for your area [e.g. driver reliability, vulnerability exposure, print success] and drive them to target.
• Partner with the printer manufacturers relevant to your assigned area on driver architecture and quality, for portfolio-wide commitments.
• Own open-standards certification for your area, including Mopria conformance, and represent Microsoft's requirements in that work.
• Work with independent software vendors (ISVs) and internal engineering to reflect relevant print scenarios in your area's roadmap.
• Run escalations for your area end-to-end — triage, drive resolution across partners and engineering, and own the tradeoff decisions.
• Turn telemetry from cloud and local print into prioritization decisions and clear, data-grounded recommendations.
