Job Description:

Shape the way the M365 measures and drives the feedback loop for its AI offerings! On the Evaluation Platform Team, you’ll have a front-row seat to how AI impacts millions of users. You’ll help steer one of Microsoft’s most important efforts forward, taking our evaluation system to the next level for our builders and partners. Our goal is to accelerate learning by making sure all the user journeys of an eval system (fine tuning a model, launching a new feature or experiment, adding metrics, onboarding a new 1P or 3P partner, understanding user feedback, creating query sets, etc.) are supported by friendly, agile, reliable, scalable and well documented tools. As a Senior Software Engineer, you will build capabilities that will be driving new capabilities that: Enable builders to be more agile, running more evaluations and faster; Provide a continuous set of tools and evaluation capabilities throughout the development lifecycle; Automate tasks via tools or agents to help us understand our performance better.

Reviews product code and test code to ensure it meets team standards, contains the correct test coverage, and is appropriate for the product or solution area
Brings insight to code reviews to help improve code quality, coaching and providing feedback to develop other engineers' skills
Conducts code reviews in a timely fashion that helps accelerate the pace of development on the team
Considers diagnosability, reliability, testability, and maintainability when reviewing code, and understands when code is ready to be shared or delivered
Applies and reviews for coding patterns, security risks, compliance issues, and best practices in code reviews, providing feedback on code to drive adherence to best practices
Uses automated source code analysis tools that are incorporated into the build/development process
Leads by example within the team to produce extensible, maintainable, well-tested, secure, and performant code that adheres to design specifications
Continuously improves code performance, testability, maintainability, effectiveness, and cost, while learning about and accounting for relevant trade-offs
Applies metrics to drive code quality and stability
Applies appropriate coding patterns and best practices (e.g., leveraging state-of-the-art generative artificial intelligence [GenAI], approaches to source code organization, naming conventions)
