Apple's Private Cloud Compute team is seeking a highly technical Senior Engineer to lead the deployment of Large Language Models that enhance Apple Intelligence across iOS devices. This role is pivotal in driving the infrastructure that ensures LLM inference is efficient, secure, and reliable. The engineer will work on complex distributed systems and be responsible for build pipelines, automation infrastructure, and validation frameworks. This hands-on position requires collaboration with various teams to validate compute platforms before production deployment.

• 10+ years of experience in release engineering, build infrastructure, and production releases for large-scale systems.
• Expert-level proficiency with C++, Swift, and Python toolchains.
• Proven track record of designing and operating large-scale build systems with a focus on cost efficiency, caching, and flake reduction.
• Experience shipping software on tight, non-negotiable deadlines tied to major hardware or OS launches.
• BS in Computer Science or equivalent experience; MS or PhD is a plus.
• Experience validating ML or LLM workloads running on hardware accelerators in cloud or datacenter environments.
• Experience building test infrastructure at the hardware-software boundary, including firmware, drivers, or low-level platform software.
• Knowledge of energy efficiency and performance profiling for high-performance computing workloads.
• Prior experience working in private cloud, hyperscale datacenter, or edge compute environments.

• Drive the deployment of Large Language Models that power Apple Intelligence.
• Ensure LLM inference is performant, secure, and reliable.
• Operate across the full stack to prepare next-generation datacenter technology for scaling.
• Provide deep technical expertise for designing CI/CD systems at scale.
• Collaborate with platform and software teams to validate novel compute platforms.
• Build tooling and automation to enhance Apple's operational speed and confidence.
• Partner with teams across Apple to adapt and scale software on novel compute platforms.
