Counted from the hiring pages we’ve followed for at least five weeks, so employers we add don’t look like growth. Updated weekly.
About the role
We file this job under ML Engineer, by the work the posting describes.
ML engineers put machine learning models into products. They write the code that trains, ships, serves and monitors models so a recommendation or prediction works for real users.
Postings ask for strong Python and software engineering, a framework such as PyTorch, cloud services, and more and more often experience with large language models.
A data scientist often works out which model to build; an ML engineer makes it run reliably in production.

Job description
At Apple, our Platform Architecture group is responsible for connecting our hardware and software into one unified system. You’ll collaborate with engineers across Apple to design how our technologies work in unison, drive development of our renowned system-on-a-chip architecture and develop forward-looking prototype systems. Our team works at the intersection of ML applications and Apple silicon architecture. We collaborate with SoC/IP architecture, system, software, and algorithm teams to develop integrated, highly optimized solutions for machine learning applications.
In this role, you will explore different ways of mapping ML workloads to Apple silicon and develop performance models/simulations. Your work will inform and validate architecture decisions. You will gain insights on how to make workloads run efficiently on our SoCs and communicate what we learn to software and algorithm teams.
