Data & Applied Scientist II

Are you a skilled Data Scientist with a passion for AI? Would you like to build insights, models, and experiments that help customers consistently realize value from Microsoft 365 Copilot? The Data Science team in Microsoft Ireland partners closely with product managers and engineers to drive growth in active usage of Microsoft 365 Copilot across home and business customers. Through deep data analysis, modelling, and large‑scale experimentation, we study how customers discover value in Copilot, which experiences drive sustained engagement, and where product improvements unlock meaningful productivity gains. By turning complex usage and experimentation data into clear, actionable insights, our work directly informs product decisions and accelerates Copilot adoption at scale. In this role, you will help advance data science and AI innovation that shapes the future of Microsoft 365 Copilot. You will translate open‑ended business and customer questions into analytical, machine‑learning, and AI‑driven solutions by designing experiments, developing scorecards, and rigorously interpreting results. You will work hands‑on with modern AI technologies—including large language models and experimentation frameworks—and write production‑quality code that integrates into Azure‑based engineering systems. By applying strong research thinking, responsible AI practices, and scalable data science techniques, you will help evolve Copilot experiences and ensure the product delivers measurable value at scale. This is a hybrid role, involving working from the office three or more days per week. See what its like to work at Microsoft Ireland in our European Development Centre
