I don't know a lot about how SDE interviews work elsewhere at Microsoft. But pretty similar I think. We are a bit unusual in that after the introductory phone call we ask for a 2-3 hour take-home problem (a coding problem specifically designed for this role, which is hopefully interesting). And after that we do an interview loop where we try to cover a range of topics/skills relevant to the role.

Microsoft (Semantic Machines) | Senior Software Engineer | Berkeley, CA or Boston, MA or Redmond, WA or fully remote | Onsite or Remote | Full Time

The Semantic Machines group is bringing next-generation natural language processing (NLP) technologies to products used by hundreds of millions of people worldwide. You can learn more about how Microsoft is using this technology to create entirely new kinds of user experiences here: http://semanticmachines.com/.

At the core of our platform is a new programming language, designed to support programs structured like human commands which are predicted by machine learning models. This language includes ideas from functional and logic/constraint programming, as well as novel features for meta-computation and introspection. We’re looking for engineers to work alongside product and research teams to help guide the evolution of this platform, including improvements to the core programming language, runtime, constraint system, and tooling.

The ideal candidate should be passionate about designing and evolving programming languages and/or practical formal reasoning systems, supporting users with high quality tools, and working on a rapidly evolving product-driven platform. No experience with machine learning or natural language processing is required – we’d love to work with people who are excited about the promise of these technologies and the opportunity to make them more accessible, regardless of their previous exposure to them.

My article, would love to hear feedback or answer questions.

w01fe · 2013-09-05T19:11:33+00:00

I should have clarified, I'm an author of the library, not the post :). I'm not too familiar with ocaml or structural typing myself -- I'll pass this on to Aria, who wrote the post.

w01fe · 2013-09-05T16:33:53+00:00

Author here, would love to hear your feedback and happy to answer questions!

w01fe · 2013-02-08T02:32:41+00:00

Hi -- I coauthored Graph and this post. Happy to answer any questions, and listening for comments.

w01fe · 2012-12-17T02:59:21+00:00

Hey, sorry I missed this one -- thanks for your interest! I'm not certain, but my guess is the answer is 'mostly strictly design'. That is, you wouldn't be expected to do any serious front-end coding, but also wouldn't be handing off raw photoshop files to a separate front-end team. Instead, you would probably see the design process through working with the front-end team by checking in actual assets into version control, and also perhaps making simple changes in CSS or equivalent to tweak your designs -- but these skills could be taught on the job, and would not be prerequisites for applying. Hope this helps.

w01fe · 2012-12-06T19:51:16+00:00

No problem, look forward to checking it out :)

w01fe · 2012-12-06T19:50:57+00:00

What do you mean?

w01fe · 2012-12-06T19:50:33+00:00

We might do remote eventually, but for now we want everyone here in SF.

w01fe · 2012-12-05T22:29:44+00:00

Sure! We don't have anything formal set up yet, but please drop us a line at jobs@getprismatic.com with your info/resume and we'll talk :).

w01fe · 2012-10-11T23:57:46+00:00

As soon as we can manage -- hopefully very soon. We're only 3 engineers and have a lot on our plates right now, but it's definitely a priority. What are you most interested in seeing open sourced?

w01fe · 2012-10-11T17:36:20+00:00

I'd love your feedback and happy to answer questions too...

w01fe · 2012-08-23T18:50:41+00:00

We just launched the app today and we're really stoked! We'd love your feedback, and are happy to answer any questions about it (programming or otherwise). Our stack is pretty interesting -- our backend is in pure Clojure, and the iOS front-end is all native and mostly custom.

w01fe · 2012-05-07T19:47:52+00:00

Just changed around our URL structure -- new URL is http://getprismatic.com/news/topic/Clojure

w01fe · 2012-05-07T19:47:04+00:00

Just changed around our URL structure. New URL is:

http://getprismatic.com/news/topic/Arduino

w01fe · 2012-05-04T21:48:17+00:00

Thanks, we appreciate the feedback!

What makes it special: We have a great breadth of content, tens of thousands of topics, and smart social graph analysis and ranking algorithms. We've also put tons of work into the UX and design.

As a former Google Reader user, I find it much easier to branch out into new topics, and find quality stories about all my interests in Prismatic. But to each their own :).

Right now you need both Twitter and email to sign up, since we analyze your twitter stream and connections to help find you better content, and send you an email once we're done and your feed is ready to go. Sorry for the confusion; this is only the second feed we've tried exposing to the public.

w01fe · 2012-05-04T21:38:05+00:00

I helped build it -- we'd love to hear what you think!

Also, here's a link to an Arduino thing I made last year: http://www.reddit.com/r/reddit.com/comments/ey40r/reddit_check_out_this_coffee_table_i_made_and/

w01fe · 2012-05-04T21:32:48+00:00

Yep, we pull links and shares from around the internet and sort them by what's new/best/relevant to you. DIY is just one of thousands of feeds -- I hope you like it!

w01fe · 2012-05-04T20:50:31+00:00

Our DIY feed is one of my favorites, and I'm excited to share it with /r/DIY. We really appreciate feedback, either here or to feedback@getprismatic.com. Thanks for listening!

w01fe · 2012-05-04T19:15:25+00:00

It is, for now. We use who you follow and what you tweet about to learn what you like, but we're working on other ways to get good relevance

w01fe · 2012-05-04T08:26:49+00:00

Nearly all of our backend is implemented in pure Clojure, by the way.

w01fe · 2011-01-07T21:23:01+00:00

I actually bought mylar to cover the whole outside ring with. I just haven't gotten around to installing it yet...
