At Microsoft AI, we are inventing an AI Companion for everyone – an AI designed with real personality and emotional intelligence that’s always in your corner. Defined by effortless communication, extraordinary capabilities, and a new level of connection and support, we want Copilot to define the next wave of technology. This is a rare opportunity to be a part of a team crafting something that challenges everything we know about software and consumer products.


Our health team is on a mission to help millions of users better understand and proactively manage their health and wellbeing. We’re responsible for ensuring that Microsoft AI’s models and services are useful, trusted and safe across diverse customer health journeys.


We’re looking for a deeply technical and mission‑driven Analytics Data Engineer to build the data foundations powering our health AI companion. You’ll architect, scale, and optimize the pipelines, datasets, and metrics frameworks that help us understand user behavior, evaluate model performance, and measure health impact. This role sits at the intersection of engineering, analytics, and applied AI—translating raw signals into insights that shape product decisions and ensure our systems are safe, effective, and grounded in evidence.


You’ll partner closely with product, model, and clinical teams to define data models, build robust ETL workflows, and enable a high‑quality analytics environment that supports experimentation, evaluation, and decision‑making at scale.


Key Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and maintain high‑quality data pipelines and models that power analytics, dashboards, and product experimentation across health AI experiences
  • Develop and optimize scalable ELT/ETL processes to extract data from multiple structured and unstructured sources (including telemetry, model outputs, and healthcare data integrations)
  • Partner with product and clinical counterparts to define source‑of‑truth datasets and standardized metrics for user engagement, safety, and health outcome evaluation
  • Implement monitoring, validation, and alerting systems to ensure data reliability, lineage, and reproducibility across the analytics stack
  • Collaborate with ML engineers and model evaluation teams to operationalize evaluation pipelines—supporting automated scoring, HealthBench metrics, and experiment tracking
  • Define and maintain data schemas, transformation logic, and documentation to promote transparency and reusability across teams
  • Drive continuous improvement in data quality, discoverability, and observability
  • Contribute to shaping data infrastructure strategy and tooling to support next‑generation health AI systems

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Engineering, Data Science, or related field, OR similar experience.
  • Experience with scaled consumer products
  • Experience building and maintaining production‑grade data pipelines, warehouses, and analytics platforms
  • Strong proficiency with SQL and modern data‑stack technologies (e.g., dbt, Airflow, Databricks, BigQuery, Snowflake, Spark, or similar)
  • Experience designing efficient data models and ETL processes supporting analytical workloads and experimentation
  • Proven ability to translate ambiguous data needs into scalable engineering solutions
  • Familiarity with data governance, schema design, and principles of data privacy and compliance (HIPAA, de‑identification, PHI handling)
  • Experience working with Python for data processing, analytics, or pipeline orchestration

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience working in healthcare, digital health, or regulated data environments
  • Exposure to large language model (LLM) or generative AI systems, particularly in analytics or evaluation contexts
  • Strong understanding of experiment design, metrics definition, and instrumentation in AI‑driven products
  • Familiarity with tools for workflow orchestration, version control, and CI/CD (e.g., Airflow, Dagster, GitHub Actions)
  • Comfort collaborating cross‑functionally with product, analytics, and clinical teams in a fast‑paced environment
  • Curiosity about how AI systems can responsibly improve access to care and health outcomes

Data Science Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK data science hiring has shifted from title‑led CV screens to capability‑driven assessments that emphasise rigorous problem framing, high‑quality analytics & modelling, experiment/causality, production awareness (MLOps), governance/ethics, and measurable product or commercial impact. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for product/data scientists, applied ML scientists, decision scientists, econometricians, growth/marketing analysts, and ML‑adjacent data scientists supporting LLM/AI products. Who this is for: Product/decision/data scientists, applied ML scientists, econometrics & causal inference specialists, experimentation leads, analytics engineers crossing into DS, ML generalists with strong statistics, and data scientists collaborating with platform/MLOps teams in the UK.

Why Data Science Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Data science once meant advanced statistics, machine learning models and coding in Python or R. In the UK today, it has become one of the most in-demand professions across sectors — from healthcare to finance, retail to government. But as the field matures, employers now expect more than technical modelling skills. Modern data science is multidisciplinary. It requires not just coding and algorithms, but also legal knowledge, ethical reasoning, psychological insight, linguistic clarity and human-centred design. Data scientists are expected to interpret, communicate and apply data responsibly, with awareness of law, human behaviour and accessibility. In this article, we’ll explore why data science careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these five disciplines intersect with data science, and what job-seekers & employers need to know to succeed in this transformed field.

Data Science Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Data Science Department

Data science is one of the most in-demand, dynamic, and multidisciplinary areas in the UK tech and business landscape. Organisations from finance, retail, health, government, and beyond are using data to drive decisions, automate processes, personalise services, predict trends, detect fraud, and more. To do that well, companies don’t just need good data scientists; they need teams with clearly defined roles, responsibilities, workflows, collaboration, and governance. If you're aiming for a role in data science or recruiting for one, understanding the structure of a data science department—and who does what—can make all the difference. This article breaks down the key roles, how they interact across the lifecycle of a data science project, what skills and qualifications are typical in the UK, expected salary ranges, challenges, trends, and how to build or grow an effective team.
