Senior Machine Learning Engineer – Action Models and Generative AI – Microsoft Research AI Frontiers

Microsoft Research AI Frontiers lab is seeking applications for the position of Senior Machine Learning Engineer – Action Models and Generative AI to join their team in New York, NY. 

The mission of the AI Frontiers lab is to expand the pareto frontier of Artificial Intelligence (AI) capabilities, efficiency, and safety through innovations in foundation models, generative AI, and learning agent platforms. Some of our projects include work on language models (e.g., Phi, Orca), action models (e.g., for racing, gaming, and office productivity), multi-agent systems (e.g. AutoGen), and evaluation (e.g., Eureka). 

We are seeking a Senior Machine Learning Engineer to join our team and advance the state-of-the-art in foundation models and Generative AI for actions and behavior. Our domains of interest include: web/OS agents, gaming agents, and real-time control for racing. Our ongoing research areas include but are not limited to: 

• Novel architectures and representations for efficient and generalizable learning of action models 
• Multi-scale temporal reasoning and planning in transformer models 
• Pre-training methods for video generation and world modeling 
• Continual learning and adaptation at human speed 
• Specializing models to capture individual human behavior and style 
• Steering models towards specific behaviors via natural language instruction 

As a Senior Machine Learning Engineer on our team, you will work hands-on on challenging and impactful projects. You will apply your engineering skills and expertise to a range of problems including rapid prototyping and testing of research
