ML Platform Engineer

We're starting to see the incredible potential of multimodal foundation and large language models, and many applications in the computer vision and machine learning domain that previously appeared infeasible are now within reach. We are looking for highly motivated and skilled Machine Learning Platform Engineers to join our team in the VCV group and help us enable that potential for realtime human understanding on Apple devices.\\n\\nThe VCV org has pioneered human-centric real-time features such as FaceID, FaceKit, and Gaze and Hand gesture control which have changed the way millions of users interact with their devices. We balance research and product requirements to deliver Apple quality, pioneering experiences, innovating through the full stack, and partnering with HW, SW and AI teams to shape Apple's products and bring our vision to life.\\n\\nJoin us to build the infrastructure, MLOps platforms, and deployment systems that power Apple's next generation of intelligent products and experiences.

As part of the VCV team, you will build and maintain the critical infrastructure that enables machine learning at scale across Apple's products. You will work on infrastructure, MLOps, cloud and on-device deployment systems, and data engineering platforms that support our ML development lifecycle.\n\nYou will be responsible for building and maintaining scalable machine learning infrastructure for training, evaluation, and deployment of computer vision and multimodal models. You will develop MLOps platforms and tools that streamline the ML development lifecycle from data ingestion to model deployment, create robust data pipelines for large-scale data collection, curation, preprocessing, and management, and implement on-device ML integration systems that deploy state-of-the-art algorithms to Apple devices.\n\nWorking closely with ML algorithms engineers, data scientists, and quality assurance teams, you'll help deploy state-of-the-art computer vision technologies on Apple devices, balancing performance with the compute and power constraints of on-device inference.
