Microsoft bets on Artificial Intelligence (AI) as the next growth opportunity for the company. OpenAI, Mistral, and other Large Language Model (LLM) driven innovations are happening throughout the industry. Azure AI is focused on building a platform that makes it easy for both first party Microsoft teams and third party customers to build cutting edge applications on top of these large language models. We are going through "product experiences" revamp to meet the demand that’s created by LLM’s, and we are in the forefront introducing new sets of capabilities that are vital to making consumptions of LLM’s for production use while meeting enterprises security, isolation, and compliance requirements.



We are looking to hire a Software Engineer II to join our Azure Machine Learning (AzureML) Experiences Team. In this role, you will be working with a group of engineers who are currently working on new Software Development Kit (SDK) experiences that make it easier for our customers to consume LLM’s for their production use, and you will be working on the services that power those SDKs. These services also power Azure AI Studio. We are looking for a motivated, results-oriented, and collaborative Software Engineer II who has a drive for results.



You will also participate in proposing and developing innovative solutions that span across multiple layers of technologies. You will be responsible for fully understanding requirements and providing solutions that match the needs.



As a team, we adopt a culture of meritocracy, bias towards taking big risks and failing fast, and value hacking together. You will join a team of talented engineers who love solving hard problems, embrace open source.

If you are a service developer who is passionate about making AI accessible and solving challenging world problems, you should join us in this Software Engineer II role!
