JOB: New Test Engineering Jobs in Microsoft Dublin Ireland.

My name is Declan Fitzgerald and I’ve just started a new recruitment role in Microsoft, Dublin, Ireland to help them source 100 new jobs that are being created over the next 18 months for a new European Development Centre being hosted in Ireland.
As part of this new project we are starting a new Smart Card Certified Centre and we have created 4 new positions to kick it off: (1) Program Manager, (1) Lead Software Development Test Engineer and (2) Software Development Test Engineers. We also are creating a Windows Serviceability Team which will have (6) Software Developemnt Engineer in Test positions. All positions will be based in Ireland. For core competencies we are looking for individuals with strong c or c++ development skills, testing experience and exposure to security technologies like: PKI, smart cards, SSL, hotpatches etc. Knowledge of the internals of Windows would be an advantage.
The remuneration packages are very good as Microsoft is very keen to hire talented engineers for this project. For example, for the sodtware development engineer in test roles we are willing to pay a basic between 50-65k euros base, car allowance, 0-20% bonus, full-health insurance, pension contribution, training, etc, and, an excellent relocation package it the candidate is coming from abroad. There may also be a strong possibility of some of these roles moving to Seattle, USA, permanently, after one year’s employment in Ireland.
I’m wondering do you know of any people, especially in Ireland, that may be interested in the roles! If you do please get them to send their CVs to me.
