We’re looking for data scientists to help build the next generation of post-training methods for frontier models at Microsoft AI. You’ll join a small, high-impact team working across all stages of post-training, with a focus on evaluation design, high-quality training data, and scalable data pipelines for state-of-the-art foundation models. In this role, you’ll help turn raw model capability into reliable, aligned, and measurable performance improvements, directly shaping how frontier models behave in real-world deployments.
Job Responsibility:
Design evaluations of advanced model capabilities and use them to drive rapid, high-signal iteration loops
Work with vendors to produce high quality evaluation and training data
Build data pipelines to produce high quality evaluation and training data
Build data flywheels to hill-climb on model weaknesses, using data from various surfaces where our models are deployed
Ensure optimal quality, quantity and coverage of data across our post-training stages
Run post-training experiments and ablations to produce models that climb our evals
Embody our culture and values.
Requirements:
Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or related technical field AND 4+ years technical engineering experience with coding in languages including, but not limited to, C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, or Python OR equivalent experience.
Master's Degree in Computer Science or related technical field AND 6+ years technical engineering experience with coding in languages including, but not limited to, C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, or Python OR Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or related technical field AND 8+ years technical engineering experience with coding in languages including, but not limited to, C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, or Python OR equivalent experience.
Nice to have:
Demonstrated SOTA results in any area of large-scale training, inference, or evaluation.
