Machine Learning and AI

Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values that lead to great work. Every new product we build, service we create, or Apple Store experience we deliver is the result of us making each other’s ideas stronger. That happens because every one of us shares a belief that we can make something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better. It’s the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in, we can do the best work of our lives. Here, you’ll do more than join something — you’ll add something.. The AIML team at Apple is building the next generation of Machine Learning models, and we are looking for people like you to come build Apple Intelligence with us! The Machine Learning Platform & Technology (MLPT) team in the AIML organization is seeking a Senior Engineering Program Manager for its ML Compute Platform. This platform provides services to all internal Apple developers focused on providing efficient and scalable compute and processing for machine learning lifecycle from model experimentation to deployment for the features across the entire Apple consumer ecosystem. We’re looking for someone with passion in this space and an experience building large-scale infrastructure for cloud platforms with a strong knowledge of ML workflow. You will partner with the engineering teams and other product/program managers across the org to drive and influence our compute roadmap for improving engineering efficiencies, reducing cost, and ensuring resiliency for Apple's ML use cases. You will also have the opportunity to be the leader with vision, identifying new technologies for adoption and be the central PM voice for interactions with public cloud providers, such as AWS and GCP, as well as internal Apple Cloud.
