Data Engineer, Global Talent Intelligence

We are hiring a Data Engineer to support the Global Talent Intelligence team. The Global Talent Intelligence (GTI) team sits at the intersection of talent, technology, and strategy—partnering with senior leaders across Microsoft to anticipate market shifts and inform high‑impact business decisions. At the core of this work is a purpose‑built talent data engine that transforms vast, complex external signals into clear, actionable intelligence. As a Data Engineer on GTI, you will drive the next iteration of design and scale for the infrastructure that powers how Microsoft relies on talent movement as a leading indicator of market movement. This role goes beyond traditional data engineering: you will build curated pipelines, models, and power interfaces that enable GTI to move from manual analysis to proactive and predictive insights—unlocking earlier visibility into where skills are emerging, where competition is intensifying, and where strategic intervention matters most. Our GTI data engineer works across an unusually rich and diverse signal ecosystem, synthesizing supply and demand dynamics, competitor and investment signals, innovation indicators, emerging talent and skills, and geo‑specific workforce risk factors. These signals power tools and intelligence products that directly influence executive decision‑making—from workforce planning and site strategy to critical skill investments and long‑term growth bets.This is a highly collaborative role, partnering closely with talent intelligence consultants, analysts, and business stakeholders to ensure data is not only technically sound, but strategically meaningful—moving insights into action.
