from Apple careers

Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values that lead to great work. Every new product we build, service we create, or Apple Store experience we deliver is the result of us making each other’s ideas stronger. That happens because every one of us shares a belief that we can make something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better. It’s the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in, we can do the best work of our lives.

As part of the Data and Tooling team, you will help us create the data and infrastructure ecosystem needed to support our ML development and continuously improve our features.

We take full end-to-end ownership of our services and data products, driving them through every stage meticulously, encompassing conception, design, implementation, deployment, and maintenance. As a result, each one of us takes our responsibilities seriously. In this team, you’ll have the opportunity to work on complex problems in close partnership with our ML Modeling teams, Infrastructure, Software, Hardware and Operations.
