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

View original posting ↗

Join the team redefining what a deeply personal and integrated assistant can be.  As part of the Siri organization, you will help shape one of the world's most widely used AI assistants, powered by our next-generation of Apple Intelligence, with capabilities like personal context understanding and on-screen awareness, built with privacy from the ground up. Your work will have direct, meaningful impact for users across iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and visionOS. Our Speech Evaluation team sits at the center of Apple's ASR, TTS, and real-time conversational AI efforts, partnering directly with the modeling teams. We're growing the team to take on a role focused specifically on evaluating audio LLMs: designing the datasets that stress-test them and the metrics that decide whether they're ready. You'll help define how Apple measures a new class of models that listen, speak, and reason. This is a rare opportunity to build at the intersection of cutting-edge AI and human-centered design, shipping technology that is centered around users and their needs.
