Microsoft Corporation Hiring for Research SDE at Bangalore, India Full Time

Microsoft Research India is looking for an experienced Research Software Development Engineer to work on applying data-driven techniques to build and deploy cutting-edge systems and services. Our specific interest is in using telemetry from across the various layers and components of large cloud services to achieve better overall performance, availability, and efficiency. We work on novel research problems with exciting solutions, very often in close collaboration with engineering teams. At the same time, we publish actively on these topics in top-tier venues and file patents. Here is a brief description of some of our recent efforts (Please visit OneCOGS – Microsoft Research for more information on our projects):

SelfTune (to appear at NSDI 2023): SelfTune uses reinforcement learning to automatically tune compute clusters in deployment to achieve high service throughput and latency. We have deployed SelfTune on tens of thousands of machines that run a large-scale background task scheduler for O365’s Substrate data engine, effectively increasing throughput by up to 20%. This is joint work with the M365 Core team.

Approv ( NSDI 2022 ): Approv is an innovative approach to network capacity provisioning that combines cross-layer signals pertaining to application demand and network failure to optimize capacity, yielding significant cost savings. This is joint work with the M365 Core team and the Azure Networking team.

Television ( VLDB 2021 ): Television is a telemetry management system which helps data scientists discover important data, determine redundancies in data, tag private data, and also run data pipelines efficiently. This is joint work with SOTELS and IDEAS team, both in E+D.

AutoSens ( IMC 2021 ): AutoSens is a tool that analyzes user access logs and, by using natural experiments, infers latency sensitivity of user activity.

Responsibilities

As a part of this effort, you will be working closely with a team of researchers and engineers to collect and analyze data from Microsoft’s largest services such as Microsoft Office, Bing and Teams, and use insights from this data to build better systems and services.
