Computer Science Bachelor Jobs in Seattle, WA (NOW HIRING)

Overview
Our team (Signals Modeling) builds the core intelligence that understands and predicts how users interact with ads - from the first impression through clicks, post-click engagement, and downstream business outcomes.
We design and train transformer-based models with billions of parameters that power ad ranking, pricing, and optimization across large-scale consumer surfaces. These models go well beyond simple click prediction: they reason over long user histories, rich ad and content representations, and heterogeneous event streams to infer user intent and advertiser value, even when ground truth signals are sparse or partially unobservable.
The team owns end-to-end ML systems, including large-scale data and label construction, representation learning, multi-task and proxy objectives, calibration, and rigorous offline and online evaluation. We build sophisticated training pipelines that transform weak signals (e.g., page visits, dwell time, or engagement events) into high-quality learning targets, and deploy models that remain robust under delayed conversions and shifting marketplace dynamics.
Engineers and scientists on the team work at the intersection of deep learning, large-scale experimentation, and marketplace economics, shipping production-grade models and data pipelines that directly drive revenue and advertiser ROI. This is a hands-on role with real ownership: you'll help shape next-generation transformer architectures, push the limits of scalable training and serving, and see your models make measurable impact in one of the world's largest ads ecosystems.
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.
Starting January 26, 2026, Microsoft AI (MAI) employees who live within a 50- mile commute of a designated Microsoft office in the U.S. or 25-mile commute of a non-U.S., country-specific location are expected to work from the office at least four days per week. This expectation is subject to local law and may vary by jurisdiction.
Responsibilities

• Drive modeling and data innovations for ad interaction outcome prediction under partial and noisy feedback.
• Focus on building estimated conversion models, designing data-driven attribution and weak-label generation pipelines, and developing robust learning and calibration methods for scenarios where true user outcomes are sparse, delayed, or unobservable.
• Design and evaluate multi-task and proxy-signal models, improve offline and online measurement frameworks, and translate modeling advances into production-ready systems that directly impact ad ranking, bidding, advertiser ROI, and user experience at web scale.
