Job description

Join the innovative Microsoft Turing team and be at the forefront of enterprise productivity AI. This high-visibility role offers the chance to develop cutting-edge deep learning models and large language models that power Microsoft 365 Copilot, impacting hundreds of millions of users globally. You'll contribute to pioneering conversational search experiences and drive AI innovation across Microsoft's vast ecosystem.

This is a unique opportunity to join a fast-growing team where project assignments align with your interests and strengths. We tackle complex challenges such as developing advanced AI capabilities, building core orchestration systems, enabling multimodal interactions, and pioneering AI-driven tool use at enterprise scale. Our work transforms how organizations operate daily by bringing state-of-the-art LLMs into production environments.

Responsibilities

Collaborate closely with applied scientists and engineers to design and build robust backend platform capabilities and core Copilot scenarios that enhance user experience. Lead projects from initial design through implementation, experimentation, and successful user deployment. Develop and implement advanced machine learning and deep learning algorithms using text, images, and video to create transformative AI experiences.

Drive the development of foundational technologies and applied research powering next-generation AI. Thrive in a diverse, geographically distributed team environment that values collaboration and innovation. Directly influence the design, functionality, security, performance, scalability, and supportability of Microsoft products leveraging our deep learning technology.

Qualifications

A Bachelor's degree in Statistics, Econometrics, Computer Science, Electrical or Computer Engineering, or a related field, coupled with 4+ years of relevant experience, is required. Alternatively, a Master's degree in a similar field with 3+ years of experience, or a Doctorate with 1+ year of experience, is acceptable. Equivalent practical experience will also be considered.

Preferred qualifications include a Bachelor's, Master's, or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related technical disciplines. At least 4 years of industrial coding experience in C++, C#, C, or Python is essential. Additionally, 4+ years of experience applying deep learning techniques to end-to-end AI product development (e.g., Search, Recommendation, NLP, Document Understanding) and 2+ years with machine learning frameworks like PyTorch or TensorFlow are highly beneficial. The ability to communicate technical details clearly, work effectively end-to-end on challenging problems, and experience shipping internet-scale AI products are also valued.
