Location: Bellevue, WA, US
Job ID: 813450-95376
Division: Online Services Division

Key to a successful online business is to innovate at fast pace using controlled experiments with live users. We, the Bing Experimentation Team, are aiming to build a world-class experimentation service that enables testing new ideas very quickly and reliably: What factors affect the quality of the Bing user experience? What causes users to engage more (or less) with Bing? The list of needs grows every day.

We are hiring extremely talented, motivated and productive individuals to join us at the heart of Bing’s innovation engine. Successful candidates will be hardcore software engineers in API design, scalable service development, and building user interface and backend system to work with large datasets interactively.

The perks with the job include the opportunities to:

1. Lead the architecture design of a software service for innovation that the world class researchers and developers in the entire Online Service Division depend on.
2. Apply your engineering and analytical skills on BIG DATA (petabyte scale) using one of the world’s largest data processing system (COSMOS) with tens of thousands of servers.
3. Guide the team on developing the systems for high stability, fast development, low development cost, and low maintenance cost.
4. Provide technical leadership to other team members.
5. Help to build and grow talents in these areas.

Qualifications:

1. Outstanding design and problem solving skills, with a strong bias for engineering excellence at scale with a track record of shipping multiple releases
2. Expert coding skills in C++ and C# (minimum 8 years, preferred: 12 years)
3. Extensive knowledge of database design and programming
4. Experience in statistical data analysis at web-scale a plus
5. Experience in web-based application development a plus (HTML5, JavaScript, jQuery, etc.)
6. Experience in user interface design a plus
7. Familiarity with data analysis tools and statistical packages, such as R and Matlab, a plus
8. Excellent written and verbal communication skills and ability to influence and drive across team boundary
9. Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or a related field (PhD preferred)

Since Bing launched in June of 2009, the search world has changed for the better. We’re helping people break free from search overload and enabling them to make decisions with Bing’s powerful, friendly tools. We’re attracting new users and changing how people think about Microsoft and Search. We have a long road ahead and we need your help! Key to our continued success in this hypercompetitive space is taking enormous volumes of data and turning them into useful, actionable information to drive increased user engagement through great Bing features and improvements. We’re talking petabytes of data about how searches succeed, how they fail, and how we can improve Bing and our partner properties like maps, commerce, travel, and more.

Location: Bellevue, WA, US
Job ID: 819930-99482
Division: Online Services Division


Are you looking for opportunities to work with huge amounts of data every day? Do you want to be responsible for making sense of this extraordinary mass of information, and presenting it in a way that can empower Bing and OSD to make strong data driven decisions? Are you a big picture thinker who can dream up new and innovative ways to slice, dice and visualize big datasets?

The Bing Indexing and Knowledge Tools team is hiring extremely talented, highly motivated and productive developers to help build the next generation of Bing's index and data analysis tools. The Bing team gathers terabytes of data every day from crawling the web, gathering user behavior telemetry and through social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, as well as taking data feeds from partners and external customers. This data is available in its raw form and can be mined by the team, but is not available in a nice, sliced, diced and aggregated form in one place. Our team aims to change that.

This role encompasses a wide range of skills, from web-scale data mining, implemented across thousands of servers, to HTML5 web application development and everything in-between. On a day to day basis you might be working with multi-terabyte datasets to generate and aggregate index, telemetry and social data from dozens of different sources (using our cloud based map-reduce variant, COSMOS and SCOPE), and on a different day, experimenting with visualizing and presenting data using HTML5 technologies to enable everyone within Bing to understand the web in a more comprehensive way.

This is an area that requires creative thinking, strong engineering skills and a passion for doing things "the right way". When people need this data, it is imperative that it is fresh, correct and presented to them FAST, so a knack for identifying bottlenecks in your code and optimizing them to be faster is a must.

This job requires strong technical skills. You must have the following skills and experience:
3+ years programming experience in C# or similar
Experience in web application development (MVC/HTML/JS/CSS)
Strong track record of shipping high-quality product features on schedule
Demonstrated experience in a rapid development environment
Experience in information retrieval, data mining, data visualization and performance engineering are considered a big plus.

Creators and owners of user experiences have a myriad of choices on how best to deliver and reach their beloved users.

Should it be an app? Native or web based? What about mobile? What about the living room? Which language? What about HTML5? What about users of older technologies and software?

Experience owners have a plethora of decisions to make. Each decision impacts the fine balance between a rich user experience and an experience that reaches enough users. A poor decision now can potentially limit the options to reach future users.

We on the Windows + Internet Explorer team feel strongly that an interoperable “rich and reach” future is one based on standards. HTML5 is baked into our modern browsers and is now a core part of the Windows operating system. This standards based approach to “rich and reach” offers a number of opportunities for experience owners to reach their full potential of users while delighting each user with an appropriately rich experience.

We are looking for someone to help us.

- Meet face-to-face with developers (and the sites they work for) who service consumer users to?
o Understand what they are doing to reach and delight their users
o Understand the business and technical challenges they face in servicing their users
o Share our views of an inclusive, interoperable and standards-based web
o Help them more effectively reach their users and provide a rich experience

- Bring balance to the web “consciousness” by?
o Sharing with them the actual pains and challenges being faced by the common user and the developers working hard to service them
o Establishing a cooperative bridge to influentials in this space and offer them a hand (and vice versa) in moving the web and standards forward

- Ultimately, bring ideas back to the Windows + IE team on how we can better service our beloved users and the developers hard at work behind the scenes building them a better experience

- Find and rally others to do the same and help move standards based, interoperable experiences forward

Our views of the ideal candidate.

- Is a known web influential or (at a minimum) has “been there” in providing rich experience to users while balancing the challenges of reach
- Has street cred (or street cred potential) with influencers, BDMs, TDMs and developers
- Is extremely knowledgeable through first-hand experience with the “user” and the sites who aim to delight them
- Can travel (50-75% of time)
- Smart, technical, ninja-like
- Critical thinker, can communicate their message effectively
- Not pompous - truly respectful of others, our beloved users and the developers hard at work servicing them
- Always open to new ideas and new perspectives
- Sincere interest in this space to a point it becomes almost spiritual


Fundamental requirements for the role:
- Strong developer skills with experience with HTML5 web dev and Windows 8 web app development
- Strong entrepreneur skills with experience starting up a business, managing business financials and hiring / running a team of people
- Bachelor’s degree or international equivalent required / advanced degree preferred
