TL;DR · | Microsoft Careers

Join our dynamic team as a Data & Applied Scientist II, where you will play a crucial hands-on role in shaping product and business decisions through rigorous experimentation and data-driven insights. You will design and analyze A/B tests from hypothesis formulation to final decision-making, ensuring clear communication of results with an emphasis on practical application rather than mere reporting. Utilizing AI tools to enhance analysis and insight generation while maintaining statistical rigor, you will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to influence product direction based on data-driven evidence. This role requires a strong background in applied statistics, proficiency in SQL and Python or R, and the ability to work with imperfect real-world data. Ideal candidates have experience in experimentation design, AI-assisted analytics, and effective communication of complex analytical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.

What you'll do

  • Design, analyze, and interpret A/B experiments from hypothesis to final decision.
  • Choose appropriate metrics and success criteria based on user behavior and business context.
  • Identify and diagnose common experimentation issues like bias and interference.
  • Combine experimental evidence with observational analysis for informed decisions.
  • Use AI tools to accelerate analysis and generate insights in everyday work.

What we're looking for

  • Doctorate in a relevant field or equivalent experience and education.
  • Experience designing, analyzing, and interpreting A/B experiments end-to-end.
  • Solid foundation in applied statistics including hypothesis testing and causal reasoning.
  • Proficiency in SQL and at least one analytical programming language like Python or R.
  • Ability to communicate complex experimental results clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Curiosity about integrating AI into everyday analytical workflows while maintaining rigor.
