En espagnol, pour exprimer une action passée qui s'est déroulée dans le passé et qui est terminée, on utilise l'imparfait du verbe "ser" (être) pour décrire la profession de la personne à ce moment-là. Donc, dans ce cas, on devrait utiliser "era" pour dire "que (era) ingeniero en Microsoft".
Ensuite, pour parler de l'action actuelle de travailler à Microsoft, on utilise le présent de l'indicatif, donc on devrait dire "Lleva años trabajando allí en la actualidad".
Donc, la phrase correcte serait: "Hace 3 años conocí a un hombre que era ingeniero en Microsoft. Lleva años trabajando allí en la actualidad."

@LuiLui2222 Es que si dices "lleva años trabajando allí" se entiende que aún sigue trabajando allí, entonces a mi me parece que usas el presente
