Senior Data Scientist

Microsoft is a global technology company that creates software, cloud platforms, hardware and related services for consumers and enterprises. In Hyderabad, the Senior Data Scientist role focuses on turning large, structured and unstructured datasets into actionable insights that support product decisions and improve user experiences. Day‑to‑day work typically involves exploring data, designing experiments, building and validating statistical or machine‑learning models, and translating results into clear recommendations for engineering or business partners. The position also expects collaboration with data engineers to ensure reliable data pipelines and with product managers to align analyses with roadmap goals. Candidates should have several years of hands‑on experience with predictive modeling, proficiency in Python or R, strong SQL skills, and a solid grasp of experimental design and model evaluation. Familiarity with cloud‑based analytics tools (such as Azure ML) and the ability to communicate technical findings to non‑technical audiences are advantageous. The role suits professionals who enjoy solving ambiguous problems, thrive in cross‑functional teams, and are eager to apply advanced analytics at scale.
