At Apple, machine learning powers experiences that anticipate what people need before they ask. We're looking for a Senior Machine Learning Engineer to help build the next generation of intelligent search and AI experiences technology that understands user intent, context, and personal information while preserving privacy. In this role, you'll work with large language models, semantic retrieval systems, and ranking models to design, optimize, and deploy relevant, personalized, and context-aware experiences across Apple's ecosystem.

Description

You'll work with semantic retrieval systems, and ranking models to design, optimize, and deploy relevant, personalized, and context-aware experiences. You'll build semantic retrieval, embedding, reranking, and retrieval-augmented generation systems that improve search quality and AI-powered experiences. You'll improve the underlying software infrastructure, optimize solutions for low-latency inference, and adapt large foundation models into smaller, highly capable models that operate efficiently under on-device memory, compute, power, and latency constraints.","responsibilities":"Work with semantic retrieval systems and ranking models to design, optimize, and deploy relevant, personalized, and context-aware experiences across Apple's ecosystem.
