About the role
We file this job under Data Scientist, by the work the posting describes.
Data scientists use statistics and models to answer harder questions, such as whether a change worked, what demand will look like next quarter, or which customers are likely to leave.
Postings usually ask for Python or R, SQL, statistics, experiment design and common machine learning methods.
Unlike an ML engineer, a data scientist's main output is often an analysis or a first model, not software running inside a product.

Job description
Do you want to decide whether a generative imaging feature is good enough to ship? Our team evaluates generative image and video features. These features reach a very large number of people on Apple devices. You will build the evaluation systems, human-annotation programs, and automated metrics that turn "this looks better" into measurable, trustworthy quality signals. Those signals guide model development and release decisions.
