Data and cloud engineer for AI for Science

At Microsoft Research AI for Science we believe deep learning has the potential to transform scientific modelling and discovery crucial for solving the most pressing problems facing society, including sustainable materials and discovery of new drugs. For our labs in Amsterdam (NL), London (UK), Cambridge (UK), and Berlin (DE), we seek a highly motivated data and cloud engineer to join our density functional theory (DFT) team (What is DFT?).

• Work with domain experts to turn quantum chemistry software into large-scale cloud data generation pipelines
• Organise, validate, and store large scientific datasets and make them efficiently available for ML and analysis
• Build cloud infrastructure with containers, infrastructure as code, and CI/CD for repeatable deployments
• Ensure reliability, security, and efficiency through observability, incident response, and capacity planning

• MSc in computer science, mathematics, physics, chemistry, or a related area
• Solid Python software engineering
• Experience building and operating large-scale, distributed, fault-tolerant systems and data pipelines
• Hands-on experience with Azure (preferred) or another major cloud, including containers and orchestration, infrastructure as code, and CI/CD
• Experience with agentic software development
• Ability to work in an interdisciplinary collaborative environment, through effective communication of technical concepts to non-experts from different technical backgrounds
• Будет плюсом: Prior experience supporting large-scale computing environments used for scientific research; Experience with large-scale data generation or acquisition for machine learning; Familiarity with quantum chemistry or other scientific simulation software; Experience with data storage, backup and recovery, and cloud security
