TL;DR · | Microsoft Careers

The Digital Direct Sales Reporting, Analytics, and Data Science team is seeking a Senior Data Scientist to drive advanced personalization and decision science initiatives. This role involves defining technical strategies for causal modeling and virtual experimentation, collaborating on large-scale user segmentation using diverse data sources, and architecting production-grade personalization models for website and outbound channels. The ideal candidate will lead complex machine learning projects from inception to deployment, guide LLM engineering practices, establish robust evaluation standards, and influence multi-team roadmaps through executive communication. Proficiency in Python and SQL is essential, along with experience in experimentation, causal inference, real-time personalization architectures, and responsible AI practices.

What you'll do

  • Define and lead technical strategy for causal modeling and virtual experimentation to de-risk decisions.
  • Architect production-grade personalization models using clickstream, CRM, product telemetry, and campaign data.
  • Lead complex ML efforts from problem framing through deployment and monitoring.
  • Partner with SMEs to guide LLM engineering direction including model selection and evaluation frameworks.
  • Establish robust evaluation standards for classical ML and LLM systems across quality and safety metrics.
  • Mentor other contributors through technical leadership and design reviews to raise organizational standards.
  • Set technical direction for significant problem spaces spanning multiple teams.

What we're looking for

  • Doctorate or equivalent experience in data science-related fields with substantial industry experience.
  • High proficiency in Python and SQL for large-scale data processing and feature engineering.
  • Experience building segmentation and personalization systems using behavioral datasets like clickstream.
  • Expertise in experimentation, causal inference, and statistical decision-making frameworks.
  • Ability to lead cross-functional technical initiatives and translate complex analyses into executive recommendations.
  • Deep familiarity with LLM engineering practices including evaluation and responsible deployment.
  • Experience with synthetic experimentation methods and real-time or near-real-time personalization architectures.
