AIML - Data Scientist, Evaluation

Do you get excited by driving product impact via measurement and evaluation, for products and services used by hundreds of millions of people globally? Within the evaluation organization, the mission of Data Science and Insights team is to guide product development, decisions and directions through principled evaluation and rigorous use of data. \\nYou will partner with various engineering teams to improve search quality and guide feature development with data, to deliver amazing search experiences across iPhone, iPad, HomePod, Mac, Watch, tv, across dozens of languages.

Research and develop evaluation methods to improve the quality of Apple user facing products, such as Siri and Apple Intelligence. \nWork with evaluation/experimentation engineering teams to get your methodological developments translated into technologies that product engineering will use every day. \nWork with large, complex data sets. Solve difficult, non-routine analysis problems, applying advanced analytical methods as needed, including prompt engineering and building LLMs as judges. \nConduct analysis that includes data collection and quality control, requirements specification, processing and presentations. \nBuild and prototype analysis pipelines iteratively to provide insights at scale. \nDevelop comprehensive knowledge of product data structures and metrics, advocating for changes where needed for product development. \nPartner closely with product engineering teams on core machine learning algorithms and user experience evaluations. \nYou should be passionate about building outstanding products. This position involves a wide variety of skills and innovation.

PhD in Statistics, Mathematics, Econometrics, Economics, Operations Research, Computer Science, or related field and 1+ year(s) data-science experience or Master's Degree in Statistics, Mathematics, Econometrics, Economics, Operations Research, Computer Science, or related field and 3+ years data-science experience.\nProficiency in data science, machine learning, and analytics, including statistical data analysis. \nExperience crafting, conducting, analyzing, and interpreting experiments and investigations, especially on data quality, evaluation and risk assessment.\nStrong programming skills, including data-querying skills (SQL and/or Spark, etc.) and experience with a scripting language for data processing and development (e.g., Python, R, or Scala).\nExperience articulating and translating business questions and using statistical techniques to arrive at an answer using available data. Strong communication skills and the ability to naturally explain difficult technical topics (especially causal topics) to everyone from data scientists to engineers to business partners.

Proven ability to collaborate effectively across functions and work well within a team.\nCapable of driving projects of varying sizes and scopes - some will take months and some weeks - and you will need to know when to dive deep.\nWorked with methods that address accuracy and variability in human annotation data.\nAbility to learn new technology and skills to accommodate changing working requirements.
