Job Description:

The Bing Multimedia team is shaping the next generation of AI-powered visual discovery, helping people explore, understand, and make decisions through images at global scale. We build the intelligent systems that power Bing Image Search and multimodal experiences across Microsoft’s AI ecosystem. As a Senior Software Engineer on the Image Search Experience team, you will design and build AI-powered systems that span both backend platforms and user-facing experiences. You will work with multimodal understanding, large language models, and scalable distributed services to deliver rich, adaptive visual experiences across the stack. This role includes building core services and APIs as well as front-end and experience-layer components that bring intelligent visual discovery to life for users. This role offers the opportunity to work on large-scale, production-grade AI experiences used by millions of people worldwide, while growing your technical depth, driving end-to-end execution, and contributing to the evolution of Bing’s visual search platform.

Job Responsibility:

Design and build AI-powered image search capabilities, helping intelligent systems understand user intent, adapt to context, and deliver meaningful visual experiences at global scale
Own key product and platform components end to end, translating user and business needs into scalable system designs and production-ready solutions
Apply large language models and multimodal AI in production, integrating reasoning and grounding capabilities to improve relevance, usefulness, and overall experience quality
Build intelligent, adaptive experiences across the stack, contributing to both backend services and user-facing components that help users explore, refine, and act on visual information
Design, implement, and operate scalable platforms and services, maintaining high standards for performance, reliability, maintainability, and efficiency under real-world workloads
Use metrics, experimentation, and user feedback to evaluate impact, guide engineering tradeoffs, and continuously improve product quality
Collaborate closely across engineering, product, design, data science, and platform teams, contributing to architecture discussions, code quality, and engineering best practices while helping raise the bar for the team

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
Experience building search, recommendation, or large-scale information retrieval systems
Hands-on experience applying LLMs, multimodal AI, or AI-driven reasoning systems in production environments
Experience designing evaluation frameworks, experimentation approaches, and quality metrics for AI-powered systems
Background in image processing, computer vision, or content understanding pipelines
Experience mentoring engineers, contributing to engineering best practices, and helping raise technical quality across a team
Solid product intuition, with the ability to balance user value, technical complexity, and operational constraints
