Job Details
The Apple Services Engineering AI/ML organization is looking for a Machine Learning Engineer to help build next-generation media discovery experiences for Apple's ground breaking devices and platforms, leveraging Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning at scale. Wonder how Apple's Media Products show relevant and rich Discovery experiences covering search, browse and recommendations for Apple's media offerings - including App Store, Apple TV, Apple Music, Apple Podcasts, and Apple Books? Come join us! Design and develop AI/ML driven Discovery features for billions of Apple users worldwide! Propose, prototype and evaluate algorithm improvements that power these rich experiences. Evangelize and build reusable AI capabilities to enhance the foundation of how these user facing features are built in the larger organization. The Apple Services Engineering (ASE) organization is one of the most exciting examples of Apple's long-held passion for combining art with technology. We are the people who power the App Store, Apple TV, Apple Music, Apple Podcasts, and Apple Books. And we do it on a massive scale, meeting Apple's high expectations with high performance, to deliver a huge variety of entertainment in over 40 languages to more than 170 countries. Our scientists and engineers build secure, end-to-end solutions powered by Artifical Intelligence & Machine Learning. Thanks to Apple's unique integration of hardware, software, and services, designers, scientists and engineers in ASE partner to get behind a single unified vision. That vision always includes a deep commitment to strengthening Apple's privacy policy, one of Apple's core values. Although services are a bigger part of Apple's business than ever before, these teams remain small, flexible, and multi-functional, offering greater exposure to the array of opportunities here.
