Member of Technical Staff

Microsoft
London
At Microsoft AI, our health team is on a mission to help millions of users better understand and proactively manage their health and wellbeing. We’re responsible for ensuring that Microsoft AI’s models and services are useful, trusted and safe across diverse health journeys. For this role the Microsoft Health AI team is looking for a Member of Technical Staff excited about contributing to the next generation of systems that will transform the field.

Across all our hires, it’s important for colleagues to share our enthusiasm about the role of technology and AI in health and healthcare, but also appreciate the challenges and risks of delivering effective solutions in a complex and safety critical space. By design we will remain a lean founding team (albeit within a much larger org), and as such you will need to be highly self-sufficient, and be able to span from high level strategy through to ground-level execution on a wide range of tasks. This also means you will play a major role in cultivating and promoting a positive team culture.

Microsoft’s wider 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.

Work in these roles will involve a hybrid of research and engineering, and can flex across every aspect of the language modelling stack to make models that are as useful and safe for health as possible.
