Do you want to be part of a fast-paced team that is moving from incubation into
full-scale product development? Are you excited by rich interactive data
visualizations and groundbreaking natural user interfaces? Are you looking for a
real challenge that will push your career to the next level?
The SQL Business Intelligence team needs talented developers to build the next
generation of business intelligence software for millions of Microsoft
customers. We are an innovative startup team that blends the exciting worlds of
natural language processing and data visualization. The team is brand new and
growing fast, our ship schedule is ambitious, and there are major challenges
ahead of us. We are passionate about being the first to deliver an experience
that enables everyone to navigate the world’s data using rich visualizations
and the latest natural user interface technologies. If you share that passion,
you’re a great candidate!
SQL Business Intelligence is part of one of the fastest-growing data technology
businesses in the industry. On our team you’ll have the chance to work on a V1
product with huge business impact and Microsoft-wide scope. We’re releasing to
SQL Server, the Office suite, and SharePoint/O365, and will leverage the latest
NLP technology and data resources from Microsoft Research and Bing. It’s a
diverse set of ship targets that requires expertise in client, mobile, web, and
cloud delivery.
Our team is looking to fill roles for three types of developer
Natural Language Processing - You’ll read the latest research papers,
collaborate with other NLP and machine learning developers across Microsoft, and
build fast/shippable runtimes. Ultimately, you’ll find ways to get the latest
NLP technologies out of the lab and into the hands of customers.
Middle Tier – You’ll build the connections to several products across
Microsoft. You’ll get the chance to work on SQL Server, SharePoint, Azure, and
Bing. You’ll solve difficult scaling and integration problems. The team will
rely on your expertise in order to get our bits running in each new ship
vehicle.
User Experience – You’ll implement the rich interactive visualizations that
are core to our product’s experience. Mobile, touch, web, and client are all
on the product roadmap and each will require integration of new technologies and
interaction models.
Whichever role best suits you, you’ll get the chance to work on a fast-paced,
high-performing team and will own the implementation of exciting V1 features.
