Job description

This role involves working as a Machine Learning Engineer at Apple, focusing on the safety and inclusivity of generative AI applications. The position is part of Apple's Responsible AI group, which is dedicated to developing innovative solutions in machine learning, particularly with large language models and multimodal systems. The engineer will assess and improve the safety of AI features through evaluations and research. This role requires collaboration across teams and a commitment to upholding Apple's Responsible AI values.

Requirements

  • MS or PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Statistics, or related fields, or equivalent qualification.
  • Experience working with generative models for evaluation and product development.
  • Strong engineering skills and experience in writing production-quality code in Python.
  • Deep experience in foundation model-based AI programming.
  • Experience working with noisy, crowd-based data labels and human evaluations.
  • Experience in the Responsible AI space.
  • Prior scientific research and publication experience.
  • Strong organizational and operational skills.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and carry out evaluations of the safety of Apple Intelligence features.
  • Leverage human grading and model-based auto-grading for evaluations.
  • Research and develop auto-grading methodology and infrastructure.
  • Produce safety evaluations that align with Apple's Responsible AI values.
  • Conduct thoughtful data sampling, creation, and curation for evaluation datasets.
  • Perform high-quality annotations and careful auto-grading to assess feature performance.
  • Analyze evaluation results to understand their implications for user experience.

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.
