Summary

Imagine what you could do here. At Apple, great ideas have a way of becoming great products, services, and customer experiences very quickly. Bring passion and dedication to your job and there’s no telling what you could accomplish.

Do you want to make Apple products more intelligent for our users? The Information Intelligence Infrastructure team is building groundbreaking technology for search, natural language processing, artificial intelligence and machine learning. Our infrastructure is the back-bone of Apple Intelligence. It powers the largest Apple foundation models on servers and a wide gamut of services at Apple including Apple Search, Apple Music, AppleTV, AppStore, iMessages, Photos & Camera, Spotlight, Safari, Siri and upcoming ever exciting Apple products serving millions of queries every day with incredible low latencies, drawing every ounce of compute from our hardware.

Description

Build the dataset intelligence layer behind Apple-scale foundation models: data mining, information extraction, dataset curation, and evaluation signal that helps models improve faster with less compute. You’ll operate at petabyte/trillion-record scale and partner directly with foundation model researchers to turn model failures into targeted data interventions. form the backbone of Apple’s search and foundation model platforms.

As part of this team, you will own services, pipeline end-to-end—from initial design and architecture, through implementation, deployment, and long-term operation. You’ll collaborate closely with Foundation Model research teams to optimize for cutting-edge model quality improvements.

Minimum Qualifications

• PhD or MS in ML/CS or related with 10+ years of experience.

• Strong ML/DL development + evaluation experience; strong coding in Python/Scala/Java; large-scale data processing.

• Proficiency in at least one modern programming language Python, Go, or Scala, with a focus on writing robust, maintainable code.

• Proficiency in at least one popular ML framework such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX and an understanding of how ML/AI systems are deployed in production.

• Familiarity with cloud - Kubernetes, GCP, AWS, Object stores.

• Excellent collaboration and communication skills; able to work independently and cross-functionally with research, product, and operations teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with training-data curation, synthetic data strategies, or evaluation dataset filtering / subset selection.

• MLOps from research prototype ? production.

• Familiarity with large-model serving/optimization stacks (TensorRT-LLM, vLLM, Triton)

• Experience with data-intensive systems (e.g., large-scale data pipelines, feature generation, Dataflow, Spark, Airflow, Dataflow).
