Job Description:
Exponential growth has transformed data into a new natural resource. Every industry has focused on exploiting data analytics for competitive advantage. Business applications of advanced analytics abound: consumer companies doing targeted marketing, financial firms scoring customer credit-worthiness, retailers managing product promotions, manufacturers detecting anomalies in sensor data, & many more.
Within the Data Group Organization’s Tiger Team, we are forming a new sub-team around the Revolution Analytics acquisition to drive the servicing experience of R as a tool for enterprise advanced analytics. For the uninitiated, R is an open source programming language & environment for statistical computing. More importantly, R is an innovation engine, with applications that run the gamut from quantitative finance to bioinformatics to machine learning. Over the past several years, R has enjoyed tremendous growth in usage & mindshare in the data science community, reaching a user count in the millions.
Our mission is to delight customers and empower every enterprise to easily and cost-effectively build high-scale analytics solutions leveraging R. To achieve this, we are going to make the Microsoft platform a great place for customers to operationalize R analytics workloads, both on-prem and in the cloud. We will democratize the process of deploying R code as production services. We will enable customer scenarios through the use of R within compelling in-database analytics scenarios. We will further accelerate & scale R analytics workloads and their adoption by integrating with modern big data processing frameworks. And we will invest in the open-source R ecosystem in ways that help foster its evolution and add value to the data science community.
Partnering and collaborating with groups across the Microsoft like other development teams, Customer Support Services, Premier Field Engineering are essential for the success. Even though you wouldn’t be directly working with customers in the most cases, you’ll have a deep insight into how the customers are using the product and will be leveraging that to design and implement new supportability features, fixes, improvements and contribute to making R the tool for enterprise advanced analytics.
We’re seeking strong highly motivated software engineers to join us on this exciting journey. The ideal candidate will be well-versed in one or more of the following technologies: C++, R, Hadoop, SQL Server, & Azure; and eager to work on customer scenarios with significant cross-platform (Windows + Linux) and open source elements.
Requirements:
Demonstrate customer empathy and customer focused culture as a value
Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate in a multi-disciplinary team consisting of field / support engineers, program managers, partner team software engineers
Excellent problem solving, design, coding, and debugging skills
A strong background in data structures, algorithms , analysis of algorithm complexity, and efficient implementation of complex algorithms
Expertise in .NET framework, C/C++, C# or equivalent programming languages
Proficiency in unit testing & other validation techniques, coupled with strong debugging skills
3+ years of experience as a software developer working on industrial strength software and a proven track record of having shipped commercially successful software products
A BS or MS degree in Computer Science or equivalent
Bonus: Expertise in R and/or other languages & environments for statistical computing
Bonus: Development experience with distributed computing frameworks such as Hadoop & Apache Spark
Bonus: Experience developing cross-platform software and/or services
Bonus: Experience developing and/or extending open source software
