Microsoft will accept applications for the role until January 15, 2025.
Your responsibilities include developing novel speech algorithms to advance state-of-the-art speech technologies for real world user scenarios, especially in integrating speech with LLM for multimodal modeling.
- Independently works to create product impact. Identifies approach and applies, improves, or creates a research-backed solution (e.g., novel, data driven, scalable, extendable) to positively impact a Microsoft product or service.
- Helps to shape the direction of Microsoft and/or the industry with industry-leading product/tooling work. Identifies significant business problems hindering product impact with other disciplines.
- Addresses scalability problems by adjusting to stakeholder needs. Directs others in the use of large-scale computing frameworks and pros and cons of each (e.g., bottlenecks for scalability and how to solve them), and modeling environments using cutting-edge industry methodologies to improve models.
- Leads the creation of a model, applies the model to real products, and then verifies effects through iterations.
- Leads experiments by putting multiple models in production and evaluating their performance. Proposes modifications to how algorithm performs against traffic based on how the model performs in production.
- Makes design decisions to allow debugging and updates and refresh in the future.
