Microsoft Marketing Internship – Senior Data & Applied Scientist In Framingham

About the job

Does the challenge of solving real-world problems by digging into data using a variety of technologies (e.g., simulations, AI/ML) excite you? Are you interested in building AI solutions that will redefine Microsoft data center functions? Do you want to work on problems that impact the experience of millions of customers? Come and join us!

The Cloud Applied Artificial Intelligence (CAAI) team within Cloud Operations and Innovations Engineering (CO+IE) is seeking a passionate and talented Senior Data and Applied Scientist. The CO+IE team provides engineering support to the CO+I organization, whose broad goals are to automate and optimize the planning, construction, operation and decommissioning of Microsoft Data Centers (DC) across the planet. CAAI’s mission is to identify and solve complex, high-impact problems that can augment and substantially improve CO+I operations and functions. The services our team provides includes scientific consulting, identification and mitigation of process/data gaps, and the development of pipelines, frameworks, and software products (mechanistic, statistical, AI/ML based) to automate and optimize CO+I business functions.

As a data and applied scientist within the CAAI team, the candidate will work in a role filled with ambiguity and opportunities, in a domain that includes planning, construction, operation and decommissioning of DCs. The candidate will be involved with identifying business impacting questions, generating vision statements, providing scientific consulting/analysis and developing ML/AI based solutions to address these questions. The types of questions/problems that are likely to be encountered will require the derivation of insights from structured and unstructured data (e.g., text, images, video), and the use of a variety of techniques, algorithms and frameworks including NLP, time series analysis/forecasting, and computer vision. As such, the ideal candidate will have experience with each of these technologies or be interested in/excited about learning and expanding their horizons. The candidate can also expect to collaborate with a rapidly growing team of talented data scientists and software engineers to bring these solutions to life and substantially impact customer experience. If you are willing and capable of being a scientist-investigator, and love learning, playing with, and deriving insights from data, throw your hat in the ring.
