Senior Applied Scientist

The rapid growth of the Microsoft Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate, Copilot Studio, Power BI), is fueled by organizations across the globe investing in leveraging low-code/no-code development models to accelerate their digital transformation ambitions. Power Platform is a strategic new growth area for Microsoft, but more importantly, it is a disruptor technology that is giving "Citizen access" to broader set of users in an enterprise, to create next generation of business productivity software via radically simplified experience and without requiring extensive and costly training. It is transforming careers of 'citizen developers', making pro-developers far more productive and helping IT finally innovate at the pace that their businesses expect. To boost Power Platform to scale to hundreds of millions of users, we are investing in Power Pages– a product within Power Platform suite currently used by customers to enable collaboration with users both internal and external to their organizations. We are early in our journey to innovate on Power Pages product and shape it into a thriving standalone customer-facing business to drive incremental revenue and value for Power Platform. We are innovating and iterating at a very rapid pace. To further accelerate the momentum in this space – bringing AI powered experiences to the business application space changing how people work - we continue to grow our investments of generative AI capabilities and multi-modal AI rich experiences.  

We are a very dynamic and passionate team that fully embrace the build-measure-learn iterative development approach. We work towards the common goal of building a product customers love. As a natural part of our product design and development process we are working very closely with customers as well as listening to usage telemetry and other key signals which allow us to consistently evolve based on customer demand and adoption patterns. Deep collaboration across PM, Design, Engineering, and Science is a given and all disciplines play important roles as part of the product development process. 

In Power Pages' Applied Science team, we are committed to innovation and the best-in-class AI experiences to enable millions of users access to personalized, dynamic and rich business websites. We foster a culture of diversity, collaboration, and innovation, valuing everyone's unique perspectives and contributions. Our agile, start-up-like environment encourages out-of-the-box thinking and empowers each team member to contribute towards our shared mission of delivering a highly innovative, AI powered experience that is positioned to fundamentally change what business applications look like in the future.
