Job description
from Apple careersWe're building the evaluation platform that will serve all of Apple's generative AI and agent systems. Evaluating non-deterministic AI systems is one of the hardest unsolved problems in production ML — and one Apple has to get right at scale. We're building the platform that makes it tractable for every team here.
This is a hands-on engineering role with a lot of autonomy. You'll write a lot of Python and own meaningful pieces of the platform end-to-end. You'll be partnering closely with research engineers, model and serving teams, product and feature teams, and the infra and data platform groups this work integrates with.
Build and ship: Take ownership of features and services within the evaluation platform: APIs, SDKs, orchestration components, evaluation runners. You'll have the room to make calls on your own work and the support to deliver it well.
Productionize ML research: Partner with research engineers to take their prototype code and turn it into reliable services. You'll learn their world quickly and translate research patterns into clean Python that holds up under real load.
Move fast, responsibly: You'll get scoped problems with room to figure out the how. We trust you to balance speed with care, to know when something needs a quick prototype and when it needs a design doc, tests, and a careful rollout.
