You will be directly involved in building the Microsoft experimentation platform including the APIs and user interface used in a wide range of heavily used products including Bing, Office, Teams, Photos, MSN, Xbox, Windows, and more.

We are building a cloud-based platform in Azure that accelerates innovations for key partners in Microsoft by testing innovative ideas quickly and reliably. Such as: What factors affect the quality of the Bing user experience? What causes users to make their first payment with XBox? The list of needs grows every day. We are now at the next phase of our mission: building the ExP platform in Azure. Come and join us as we take the ExP platform forward in its next phase of growth!
