Job description

This role involves working with a team of engineers and researchers at Apple to develop foundation models that enhance various products. The focus is on advancing deep learning algorithms and techniques to solve real-world problems, particularly in natural language processing and multi-modal understanding. Candidates will have the opportunity to publish their work and directly impact the user experience for millions. The team values collaboration and innovation in applying deep learning to practical applications.

Requirements

  • Demonstrated expertise in deep learning with a publication record in relevant conferences.
  • Proficient programming skills in Python and one of the deep learning toolkits such as JAX, PyTorch, or Tensorflow.
  • Ability to work in a collaborative environment.
  • PhD, or equivalent practical experience, in Computer Science or a related technical field.

Responsibilities

  • Develop algorithms, techniques, and systems that advance deep learning.
  • Identify and develop novel applications of deep learning for Apple products.
  • Collaborate with a team of engineers and scientists to tackle challenging problems in foundation models.
  • Contribute to the publication of research findings in academic conferences.

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.
