Summary（岗位介绍）
Do you believe generative models can transform smart assistants and creative workflows used by billions? Do you believe it can fundamentally shift how people interact with devices and communicate? We truly believe it can! We are looking for highly skilled senior software engineers experienced in architecting and deploying test and validation infrastructure for consumer-facing products using large-scale client/server ML systems.
You will play a critical role in designing and building LLMs online and offline validation infrastructure, tools, frameworks, and methodologies that enable product teams across Apple to develop state-of-the-art generative AI solutions that power amazingly intelligent user experiences on iPhone, Mac, Watch, iPad, and more. We are the Intelligence System Experience (ISE) team within Apple’s software organization. The team works at the intersection between multimodal machine learning and system experiences. System Experience (Springboard, Settings), Keyboards, Pencil & Paper, Shortcuts are some of the experiences that the team oversees. These experiences that our users enjoy are backed by production scale ML workflows. Visual Understanding of People, Text, Handwriting & Scenes, multilingual NLP for writing workflows & knowledge extraction, behavioral modeling for proactive suggestions, and privacy preserving learning are areas our multi disciplinary ML teams focus on.
Qualifications（岗位要求）
