Why work at WebXT

Inside Microsoft's Web Experiences Team

Our team develops advanced search technology that powers Bing image search experiences. The search experience is more than just finding an image on a web page that matches a query – it’s about training sophisticated machine learnt models to drive ranking and triggering, using word embeddings and deep learning to understand the quality of matches, online learning to react quickly to change, natural language processing to understand queries, taking advantage of big data and signals from millions of people across the web. Pulling together and combining information from multiple sources to provide the user with results that best match their intent. Machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, computer vision, big data mining and information retrieval - it’s all part of the job.
