Cambridge Residency Program: Researcher

3 weeks ago


Cambridge, United Kingdom Microsoft Full time

The Cloud Infrastructure team invites computer science researchers to join our two-year Residency Program.

We believe that dramatic improvements to cloud-scale AI/ML systems can be enabled by automatic tools supporting their development and deployment process. This includes architectural exploration, mapping of workloads onto the infrastructure, and further optimizations. There is a wealth of research opportunities and challenges in scheduling and optimization, constraint solving, program synthesis, local search, and other areas. We are developing such tools, in collaboration with product groups, other teams at Microsoft Research, and the broader academic community.

**Responsibilities**:
In this role, you will work closely with other team members to innovate and drive the research on automated tools for design, development, and deployment of AI/ML infrastructure and workloads at scale. This could involve algorithms and tools for scheduling communication over heterogeneous networks, partitioning/fusion of computation tasks, static analysis of DNNs. The researcher will have access to our internal product partners, and will work with experts on AI/ML systems, automated reasoning, and constraint solving. Additionally, they will have an opportunity to participate in their research community by disseminating their work through publications, conference attendance, and service.

**Qualifications**:
**Required**
- PhD in computer science or equivalent industry experience in a research environment, with a focus on constraint solving, automated reasoning, program verification, DNNs, or related.
- Capability for rapid and accurate development in, for example, Python, C++, or similar.
- Creative and collaborative approach to problem solving.

Preferred
- Publishing track record in automation of distributed deep learning, constraint solving, program verification (e.g., NeurIPS, ICML, OSDI, CP, SAT, CAV).
- Experience with ML frameworks.

Benefits/perks listed below may vary depending on the nature of your employment with Microsoft and the country where you work.
