Artificial Intelligence (AI)-assisted software generation has rapidly progressed, but a significant gap remains in enabling AI to generate high-performance GPU/NPU kernels. We are looking for a Senior Researcher to help close this gap. This opportunity is ideal for individuals with expertise in modern AI and machine learning techniques who are passionate about advancing AI-for-AI systems.

This work is central to Microsoft’s next-generation AI infrastructure. The innovations developed in this role will operate across thousands of GPUs and MAIA AI accelerators in production, shaping how Microsoft trains and serves frontier AI systems at global scale. It’s a unique opportunity to make foundational contributions that influence Microsoft’s AI stack end to end—from research and kernel generation to deployment in hyperscale environments.
