Job description

Apple's US Decision Intelligence team is seeking a Forward Deployed Engineer who is passionate about developing AI solutions that enhance Apple Sales and customer experiences. This role involves collaborating closely with Sales teams to translate business challenges into effective engineering solutions. The engineer will engage in both user interaction and hands-on development, creating prototypes that address immediate Sales needs while shaping the future of the AI-driven insight platform. The position requires a blend of technical expertise and strong communication skills to bridge various teams and stakeholders.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of experience in Forward Deployed Engineering, Solutions Architecture, or a related technical role.
  • Strong full-stack engineering skills with proficiency in Python and JavaScript/Node.js.
  • Familiarity with SQL and relational databases such as PostgreSQL or Snowflake.
  • Functional literacy in AI/ML concepts and understanding of LLM-powered systems.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.

Responsibilities

  • Collaborate with Sales teams to identify and translate business problems into engineering specifications.
  • Build prototypes that solve real Sales problems and influence the development of platform capabilities.
  • Partner with data scientists and researchers to operationalize prototype code into production-grade services.
  • Leverage AI-assisted development tools to accelerate prototyping and code generation.
  • Define roadmaps and navigate ambiguity in a fast-paced business environment.

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.
