Job Description:

Overview

In Microsoft, people are at the center of everything we do. Our technology aims at bringing people closer together—from remote coworkers socializing to building deeper connections to global leaders collaborating on the biggest challenges of our time, and everything in between.

Microsoft is the research arm of the company, and its main office is located in Cambridge, UK. We build the AI technology that powers Microsoft Mesh, spanning the presence spectrum from avatars through holoported representations of people to digitization of objects and environments, and spanning the product lifecycle from research prototypes to shipping products to millions.

A diverse, multidisciplinary team, we approach our work not just as an exciting technological opportunity, but as a responsibility to develop new mediums of 3D communication in an inclusive and ethical way.

We combine insights in computer vision, machine learning, and graphics to understand the motion, shape, and appearance of a user and recreate their likeness remotely. We guide our technological development by building human-centric experiences to ensure we design solutions that people will love to use. We collaborate very closely with design, art, engineering, and program management teams to build the best solutions for our customers and make for dynamic and joyful collaborations with colleagues!

If you are passionate about ground-breaking VR/AR/XR technology and want to work in a science team dedicated to a culture of inclusion, growth mindset, and collaboration, we need you!

Qualifications

Required Qualifications:

  1. Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience
  2. Demonstrated architecture and design skills
  3. Experience working with computer vision, AI, machine learning, computer graphics code bases
  4. Experience in using Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, or similar tools for CI/CD pipelines

Preferred Qualifications:

  1. Demonstrated ability to integrate end-to-end real-time interactive systems
  2. Experience with shipping mobile, console, PC games, or social and gaming platforms
  3. Familiarity with Unity 3D, Unreal, or any other game engine
  4. Familiarity with employing natural user interfaces like speech, gesture, and gaze

We welcome talent from a wide range of backgrounds, and we strive to create a respectful, inclusive environment where you can bring your best self and do your best work. If you're ready to work on the cutting edge of the industry with a passionate team, please apply with your resume and portfolio.

Responsibilities

As a Machine Learning Software Engineer at Mesh Labs, you will mix your software engineering skills with cutting-edge art, design, artificial intelligence, and hardware to build experiences for social presence in Mixed Reality. You will work closely with the science teams that delivered tracking and animation AI for Kinect, HoloLens, Avatars in Teams, and Microsoft Mesh. You will:

  1. Collaborate with appropriate stakeholders (e.g., project manager, technical lead) to determine user requirements for a scenario
  2. Drive identification of dependencies and development of design documents
  3. Conduct experiments to determine the most effective solutions
  4. Design the architecture of the science code and its integration with the product
  5. Implement new features
  6. Assure system architecture meets security and compliance requirements and expectations
  7. Work with a wider team to establish and propagate best practices for code development and testing

As needed, you will collaborate with our partners from design, cognitive science, and game studios to redefine the meaning of virtual presence. To excel at the role, you will need to be curious, comfortable dealing with the ambiguity of R&D work, and take delight in learning new tools and techniques.

Benefits/perks listed below may vary depending on the nature of your employment with Microsoft and the country where you work:

  • Industry-leading healthcare
  • Educational resources
  • Discounts on products and services
  • Savings and investments
  • Maternity and paternity leave
  • Generous time away
  • Giving programs
  • Opportunities to network and connect

Machine Learning Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Are you considering a career change into machine learning in your 30s, 40s or 50s? You’re not alone. In the UK, organisations across industries such as finance, healthcare, retail, government & technology are investing in machine learning to improve decisions, automate processes & unlock new insights. But with all the hype, it can be hard to tell which roles are real job opportunities and which are just buzzwords. This article gives you a practical, UK-focused reality check: which machine learning roles truly exist, what skills employers really hire for, how long retraining realistically takes, how to position your experience and whether age matters in your favour or not. Whether you come from analytics, engineering, operations, research, compliance or business strategy, there is a credible route into machine learning if you approach it strategically.

How to Write a Machine Learning Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Machine learning now sits at the heart of many UK organisations, powering everything from recommendation engines and fraud detection to forecasting, automation and decision support. As adoption grows, so does demand for skilled machine learning professionals. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Machine learning job adverts often generate high volumes of applications, but few applicants have the blend of modelling skill, engineering awareness and real-world experience the role actually requires. Meanwhile, strong machine learning engineers and scientists quietly avoid adverts that feel vague, inflated or confused. In most cases, the issue is not the talent market — it is the job advert itself. Machine learning professionals are analytical, technically rigorous and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals unclear expectations and low ML maturity. A well-written one signals credibility, focus and a serious approach to applied machine learning. This guide explains how to write a machine learning job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and strengthens your employer brand.

Maths for Machine Learning Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

Machine learning job adverts in the UK love vague phrases like “strong maths” or “solid fundamentals”. That can make the whole field feel gatekept especially if you are a career changer or a student who has not touched maths since A level. Here is the practical truth. For most roles on MachineLearningJobs.co.uk such as Machine Learning Engineer, Applied Scientist, Data Scientist, NLP Engineer, Computer Vision Engineer or MLOps Engineer with modelling responsibilities the maths you actually use is concentrated in four areas: Linear algebra essentials (vectors, matrices, projections, PCA intuition) Probability & statistics (uncertainty, metrics, sampling, base rates) Calculus essentials (derivatives, chain rule, gradients, backprop intuition) Basic optimisation (loss functions, gradient descent, regularisation, tuning) If you can do those four things well you can build models, debug training, evaluate properly, explain trade-offs & sound credible in interviews. This guide gives you a clear scope plus a six-week learning plan, portfolio projects & resources so you can learn with momentum rather than drowning in theory.
