Job Description
Overview
On Team Xbox, we aspire to empower the world’s 3 billion gamers to play the games they want, with the people they want, anywhere they want. Gaming, the largest and fastest growing category in media & entertainment, represents an important growth opportunity for Microsoft. We are leading with innovation, as highlighted by bringing the Game Pass subscription to PC, bringing Xbox to new devices with Cloud Gaming, and our recent acquisition of Activision Blizzard King creating exciting new possibilities for players.
The Xbox Experiences and Platforms team is home to the engineering work that makes this vision possible, building the developer tools and services that enable game creators to craft incredible experiences, the commerce systems that connect publishers with their audience and help gamers engage with their next favorite games, the platforms on which those games play at their best, and the experiences that turn every screen into an Xbox.
The Xbox Developer Relations team is at the forefront of helping developers ship great games on Microsoft platforms. We partner closely with developers to bring them up to speed on new technologies and optimizations, so they can deliver the best version of their games.
Are you excited about the technology that drives innovation in the digital entertainment world? The Xbox team seeks a technically inclined Developer Partner Manager based in Europe to own and manage relationships with a range of game development studio partners.
