Senior Applied Scientist

Applied Sciences Group (ASG) is an interdisciplinary team of scientists and developers focused on incubating next-generation technologies across Microsoft Devices. 

As a Senior Applied Scientist in the Applied Sciences Group you will be working to transfer models from training teams to run efficiently on device, using low power NPUs (Neural Processing Units). This will include both low level optimizations (CUDA, HVX or other relevant low-level technologies) and higher-level CI/CD pipelines to support the release of the models. This opportunity will allow you to help ship high impact models to a huge userbase.

In this role, you will have tangible effects on everything from the training of models to the mechanisms of release, and everything in between! Initial focus will be on language models, though the candidate should be enthusiastic about working on cutting-edge software more generally as the industry is moving forward very quickly! Candidates should demonstrate a breadth of experience in software engineering and have a scientific methodology in finding solutions to challenging questions.

Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.
