The posting

Overview

We are seeking a Senior Machine Learning Engineer to design, train, and optimize generative models for multimodal scientific discovery. This is a hands-on technical role where you’ll work alongside a multi-disciplinary team of ML researchers, engineers, and domain experts to develop the methods and tools needed to accelerate the rate of discovery and further the frontier of human knowledge.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach – advancing model capabilities requires investment throughout the training lifecycle, including method development, recipe refinement, scaling and throughput optimization, and model-harness co-design. In this role, you’ll contribute to these workstreams and leverage their learnings to drive scaled runs.

Microsoft Research New England is comprised of full-time researchers, postdocs, data scientists, engineers, and program managers working in machine learning, statistics, healthcare, computational biology, theoretical computer science, algorithmic game theory, economics, among other disciplines. The lab is highly collaborative and interdisciplinary and is actively engaged with the local academic and tech communities.

We are committed to building an inclusive, diverse, and pluralistic research environment. In keeping with this, Microsoft Research New England is a place where all are able to do their very best work. Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.

  • Deep experience with PyTorch or Jax.
  • Experience designing, optimizing, and monitoring generative modeling training workflows.
  • Familiarity with profiling training and/or inference code, identifying performance bottlenecks, and mitigating them.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
