The Microsoft Applied Sciences Group (ASG), a nimble startup group within Microsoft’s Windows division, seeks a Senior Software Engineer to help push the envelope of user experiences at the intersection of software, machine learning, and hardware.

In the past, we’ve typically explored new user experience concepts and built the earliest prototypes, then collaborated with other, bigger teams to bring a product to market. We’re now looking to continue that work, with a view to the new interactions enabled by recent advances in Large Language Models (LLM) and other large AI/ML models.

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.

In alignment with our Microsoft values, we are committed to cultivating an inclusive work environment for all employees to positively impact our culture every day.
