After dropping out of his doctoral program in 2003,[7] Scott started his career at Google and held numerous positions in search and ads engineering, including receiving a Google Founders' Award, before leaving the company in 2007.[8] He was VP of engineering and operations at AdMob from July 2007 to June 2010.[9] Google acquired AdMob in 2010 for $750 million (~$1.02 billion in 2023) and Scott became Sr. Engineering Director of mobile ads engineering at Google.[10]

In January 2017, soon after Microsoft acquired LinkedIn, Scott was named Microsoft's Chief Technology Officer by CEO Satya Nadella.[14] He retained the title of senior vice president of infrastructure at LinkedIn until September 2017.[15] Scott described himself as feeling "like a kid in a candy store" because of all the exciting technologies Microsoft is working on.[6]

He is also an emeritus trustee of the Anita Borg Institute[17] and was a founding member of the ACM Professions Board.[18] He advises several startups, is on the board of directors for Magic, and is an angel investor.[19] Since January 17, 2021, he is member of the board of directors of the automobile manufacturer Stellantis as non-executive Director and member of the ESG Committee.[20]
