We�re attracting new users and changing how people think about Microsoft and search. We have a long road ahead, and we may need your help. One of the keys to our continued success in this hypercompetitive space is accurately instrumenting the Search experience in order to understand how users are engaging with the product. We�re talking collecting terabytes of information about what people try, where they succeed, how they fail, so we can improve Bing and our partner properties like maps, commerce, travel, and more.

Responsibilities include:

  • Designing and operating an instrumentation service that will be utilized by many partner teams
  • Consulting with feature teams on instrumentation needs
  • Partnering with business and reporting teams to understand data
  • Driving quality into the data collection process
  • Designing tools to assist feature teams with instrumentation
  • Managing change control processes
  • Writing effective documentation
  • Participating in data mining activities and analysis of AB tests
The ideal candidate will have:
  • A background in online user behavior research including website log analysis
  • Experience with schema design
  • SQL database and reporting systems experience
  • Ability to work with large data sets
  • Excellent communication and cross group collaboration skills
  • Familiarity with search engines and web technologies is a plus
  • Degree in CS or related discipline
  • 7 years work experience shipping software within a collaborative environment
Do you want to develop software that touches millions of customers? Work with a world class design team to deliver breakthrough, customer-focused innovation on top of the newest search technologies?
