The Azure Core Organization is responsible for creating the foundation of Microsoft’s Cloud Platform for utility computing. This platform is one of the lowest levels of the services software/hardware stack and includes an efficient, virtualized computational substrate, a fully automated service management system, and a comprehensive set of highly scalable storage services.

The Azure Compute Platform Capacity and Efficiency (AC2E) team is the team in Azure Core organization tasked with managing all aspects of Compute Platform Capacity and Efficiency Management across the fleet. Platform Capacity Management needs to ensure that on the one hand, there is sufficient capacity across all allocation scopes to meet all customer demand, while on the other hand ensuring that capacity is provisioned efficiently thereby avoiding overspending and COGS/CAPEX impact. At the scale of Azure’s business, managing this trade-off across the entire Azure Compute fleet is an enormously complex task, where improvements can make the difference between customer allocation failures on the one hand, and gargantuan savings on the other.

As a Data Scientist II for the (AC2E) team, you will work closely with our software engineers, program managers, and data engineers across different teams within Azure. You will implement/measure Metrics, leverage statistical techniques to analyze data, find patterns, make platform recommendations, work-on platform intelligence, apply visualization techniques to drive business insights that lead to action and successful business outcomes. The impact of your work will be measured by enhancements to the Azure platform, fulfillment rate of Azure service capacity, customer satisfaction, and various efficiency metrics, including COGS reduction. You will have opportunities for mentorship, accelerate your career growth, and work on truly high-business impact areas.

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.
