At Gaming AI, we are exploring new emerging technology trends to craft the next
era of gaming. We are venturing beyond the horizon and charting a course forward
with players and creators at the center.
The Xbox Gaming AI team is seeking a Principal Applied Scientist to advance AI
and machine learning technologies for Xbox platform experiences. This role will
develop state-of-the-art deep learning and foundation model capabilities to
support gaming platform needs.
This role requires deep technical and research expertise in machine learning and
engineering, including training and fine-tuning models for multi-modal
intelligence, language models, diffusion models, embodied AI, world generation,
reinforcement learning, computer vision, recommender systems, and the ability to
go from theoretical approach to tangible, scalable, shippable, efficient
outcomes. You’ll be expected to bring technical rigor, creativity, and execution
to help move research into production.
We are looking for a candidate that is collaborative and has the ability to
bring ideas to life working with software engineers, applied scientists, game
developers, designers, and world-class machine learning researchers.
Storytelling through compelling presentations and prototypes are essential, as
well as being at ease presenting to C-level executives, collaborating with game
development teams, or participating in deeply technical discussions with
research leaders. As with any role focused on incubation and innovation, sound
judgement and ability to balance trade-offs in opportunity cost is vital.
Microsoft’s 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.
