Job description

We are seeking research engineers to develop infrastructure for innovative AI agents, reinforcement learning, and simulation environments. The role involves designing and implementing high-quality data pipelines and simulation systems that support advanced agent research. You will collaborate with a team of world-class machine learning researchers and engineers, contributing to technologies that impact millions of users. Our team values innovation, productivity, and a fun work environment.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of ML engineering experience building and maintaining data-intensive systems.
  • Solid software engineering skills in complex systems with fluency in Python.
  • Hands-on experience with distributed ML systems including CI/CD at scale.
  • Strong quantitative and data skills, comfortable with SQL and statistical reasoning.
  • Proven track record of shipping ML systems end-to-end.
  • Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Math, or Physics.
  • 2+ years of experience at a company building AI products or agent systems.
  • Experience with job orchestration frameworks like Airflow or Prefect.
  • Familiarity with macOS/iOS development ecosystems.
  • Active personal interest in AI agents.

Responsibilities

  • Design and implement high-quality data pipelines and simulation systems.
  • Collaborate with researchers and engineers to enable cutting-edge agent research.
  • Maintain and improve data-intensive systems for machine learning.
  • Deliver clean, well-tested code in a complex software environment.
  • Translate ambiguous signals into clear, actionable findings.

Benefits

  • Employees at Apple are often offered comprehensive benefits that support physical and mental well-being—flexible medical plans, confidential counseling, onsite wellness centers at major campuses, and resources for fitness and daily life. Families typically receive fertility support, paid parental leave with gradual return, caregiving leave, and dependent-care guidance, while financial perks commonly include stock grants (with purchase discounts), 401(k) matching, and income-protection coverage. Employees also see robust time off, Apple University learning and tuition reimbursement, donation matching and paid volunteer hours, and deep product and partner discounts.
